I was inspired and challenged to admire the world while looking up.

Anne Bonfert, a writer who lives life to the fullest and is an excellent photographer took some gorgeous images looking upward.

Check out that post below.

So the other day during a walk I began looking at spaces other than the clouds.

This is another excellent way to see the world and another opportunity to admire its unique aspects and to exercise grace and thanks.

I am unsure of its purpose. Was it intended to be a light pole, though I saw no lamp attached.

A birdhouse?

Google says these are Mexican plums. Searches states it is edible. Very cool. Though I won’t try to eat any.

I looked at these old trees and wonder what secrets they held. Though I know they will never tell.

From now on I will look up at more than the sky.
