A view~~~~From ground level~~~~

♥
Just look at these photos, Folks!!!  See those spikes of grass, right in front of your nose, it looks like???

See those Violets, right-up-close-and-personal???  See how you are "looking up," at everything else, in the photo?

If you were the size of a Violet, you could crawl right under the fence, and into the yard next door...

Soooooo, it's obvious that the camera was nearly on ground level....  Right?  Right?   Soooooo, did "Ole Auntie" really lie down in the back yard, and take these ground-level pics?  Like she is jealous of others, who CAN do this?  Did she?   ~~~~~~~~~~     And more importantly,  if she did, did she ever get back up again??????????????  ,-))))

*Actually* I didn't lie down on the ground.  I held my camera, nearly at ground level and snapped.  ~~~~~  Yeah, I still can't lie-on-ground and take pics, like you Youngins can.  But I'll tell ya!!!!!   Just doing all that bending down low and getting back up again, was an ACCOMPLISHMENT, in itself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ,-)

The pic above, was just taken in the regular way.

What's that old saying.....  Something like...

"The young are agile,
but the old are sneaky."

No, that's not the perfect wording of the saying, but it will do, for now.  :-)))))))))))))

love this post, and i am one of the ones that can't get down or back up. when i sit the camera on the ground, i drag my chair out there and sit me on the chair and the camera on or just above the ground, if i stoop over the camera shakes so bad the photos are blurred. your violets are lovely and i wish they would climb under our fence... great post

The violets are lovely, and had you not told us that you didn't get down and recline on the ground to get the photos, we wouldn't have been the wiser! :))
I used to love to pick violets with Mama...

I love the beautiful little violets. I've been wanting to get some shots of them at ground level, too, but have that ole get-down, can't-get-back-up problem myself! You did a great job!

Love the perspective here!! Reminds me of the movie "Honey I Shrunk the Kids".

Love the ground shots and your comment about being the size of violets. Reminds me of the Borrowers. Loved that book and movie!

Your ground shots were dang good. I can get down but getting up is not so pretty.
As Betty White says "Getting old ain't for sissy's"
Have an awesome day!
