The Travel Theme…over at Where’s my backpack is “Up”
We are now into daily walking in the Country Park not far from home ( please see my earlier post: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: 2012 Outdoors and Nature http://retireediary.wordpress.com/2013/01/05/cees-fun-foto-challenge-my-2012-outdoors-and-nature/ ).
We have started learning to recognize the shrubs, trees, flowers and fauna around us as we walk through the park. We are also interested in spotting and recognizing the birds around us but believe that our knowledge in this area is still very limited; we will need some good binoculars.
Once in a while, we would look up towards the sky and have a good look at the trees above us. This picture was taken a couple of days ago when we looked up the sky from the trail in the woods.
The trees seem to be closing in from all directions; with the sky in the middle.
Although this is winter time, our subtropical climate means that some of the trees have shed their leaves and become bare while others are still green.
I am happy that the picture still makes sense even if you rotate the picture around.
Walking is a great way to start the day. You have motivated my to take my camera on my daily walk.

Once it becomes a habit; you will miss not walking on the day you can’t make it. Thank you for the kind comment!
That’s o.k

Thank you!
Every tree’s canopy looks so magically different. Since I was a kid,until today…I love looking up at trees.
Trees are great; I love watching them now. Thank you for the kind comment!
Isn’t it fun to recognize tree, flowers, birds, when you spot them!? I think it is!
It’s really fun, I will spend more time watching them. Thank you for the kind comment!
Reblogged this on henrywilliamsonn.
Thanks for reblogging this on!
my pleasure but really nice theme and activity
Thank you!
This almost makes me dizzy looking up… good angle Michael
We tried to walk really fast in our daily walk but now, we would stop every now and then looking at the trees! Thank you for the kind comment!
If you like photography it is hard to walk consistently fast, the scenery distracts you too much
I know I can’t do walking and photogrpahy at the same time. So, on some days, I will walk slowly to appreciate nature ( and what I have missed during my speed walking). Regards, Michael
lovely!
Thank you for the kind comment!
What a great capture… the trees certainly do look as though they are closing in…
Thanks for the comment bulldogsturf!
I like how trees feel like they are enveloping you in nature when you are looking up to the heavens thru their canopy.
Again, you have described it very well. That’s how I feel when I was there taking this photo. Thanks for the comment!
Where you are talking about your previous post you should consider putting a link to it. That would make it easier for your readers to go and see. Just my opinion
This is a nice post.
Will do, I was just too lazy. Thank you!
Dangerous to walk with a camera and look up – I did that twice in Chicago and both times; PANG!!!
Totally agree that it was a fantastic way to start your day.
When something beautiful is in sight, we will stop walking to take the photos. Thank you Viveka!
great shot Michael! love the fact you mentioned about turning the photo around
Thank you Raunak!
Great angle of trees… love it.
Have a wonderful weekend, Michael.
Many thanks for the kind comment! Have a great weekend, Bams.
What an outstanding blog. Thank you for all of this inspiration!
Many thanks for the encouraging comment, bikerbabetours!
