Hurry! It's Lovely Up Here.

This line is a title from the Broadway Musical On a Clear Day. It is the opening song sung by Daisy Gamble who is psychic and can also make flowers magical bloom in seconds.

 On these hot summer nights and days, I also spent hours in the garden tending my flowers, weeding, and watering as I give my attention to each and every plant. I have also been spending time just laying on my back with Rosie next to me. Usually looking up at clouds. Sometimes just hearing the birds chirp or a lawn mower whirring. But lately some of the images are from under the canopy of my Cherry tree limbs which hang low or through the whispy leaves of my River Birch which has grown huge over the last few years.

 We spend so much of our time looking down or straight ahead. Maybe occasionally glancing up. But to truly lie flat on your back and peer through branches gives a fascinating perspective. These photos are from various feeds and posts that I have collected in a folder. They are from underneath a blue Hydrangea, a Mushroom, a field of Lupines.There is no great magic in them. Just the sheer scope of seeing things from a new perspective; from down under. I have to imagine that Rosie, being only 16 inches tall, sees so many things this way as her norm. It is a bit of a mind bender to see things from a slightly different angle. A fresh take is always good.
