Look Up ...

Sometimes looking up is something we don’t always do. Sometimes we are focused too much on just what’s around us.

Looking up is often the best way to improve. It certainly makes us feel better, and when things are looking up, it means they, too, are getting better.

When we look up to someone, it means we admire them.

When we look up to ourselves, it means we get to use our imagination. We look up expecting to see something.

It takes an effort. We have to raise our head and eyes. If you are a photographer, it means you have to walk and think. What’s up there?

Here are five pictures the photographer made recently of things that are overhead. They drew his attention. Go out some evening, look up and see what draws your attention. It’s a “Heads Up!” wake up call.
