Looking Up

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.                                                                                                       ~ G. K. Chesterton

A few looking up shots from our trip to Clear Lake. There's always something to see when we stop and look up... the wide open sky, fluffy clouds, the sun, the moon, even a funky birdhouse or 2.... it rarely disappoints. Life's good that way.

Today, stop...pause...and look-up. Elevate your everyday with us. Be sure to tag your photos with #sselevate. Thanks for playing along!

Just a mile from my house nature seated a most amazing sight when I look up.

Hi Kim,
Today's been so weird. We have no electricity because of some maintenance work. I could choose to be annoyed or try to be calm.
I picked myself up and walked to the library. On the way I looked up. This is what I got...

Nothing like some sunshine to make me smile again :)
Hope your week is full on sunshine.
With love

and one, just because it totally fits the theme (an old, but a favorite of mine for so many reasons)

Although I took several photos during the day, looking up, the one that I've chosen to post was taken indoors:
Interestingly the name of this work of art is "climbing to the top"

A recent weekend in the city presented me with many "looking up" photo ops: http://instamaticgratification.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/213366/
