2025 One Word Sunday (OWS) : Looking Down

Last week Debbie had us Looking Up, it was fun to see everyone’s take on Looking Up. This week’s theme is Looking Down. There are many different and interesting things available to see all around us if we only Look and observe what’s all around us.

Coleman and I paid a visit to the expanded and upgraded Daniel Stowe Conservancy, formerly known as The Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. Looking all around the trails surrounding The Trailhead Store at the Conservancy there were some interesting views which we Looked Down upon.

…. Such as the Pond down and slightly to the right of The Trailhead Store.

Reflections in the Pond

…. Or this little Pond with a waterfall surrounded by rocks a short distance away from the Dog Park.

Moving along further down the trail we spot an interesting painting on the pathway with a Trail crossing sign nearby.

And lastly for today, I’m Looking Down upon Coleman looking down at something on a bench.

2025 LAPC #332 — Shoot From Above

Looking Down at the Valley

Ritva is this week’s host for the Lens-Artist Challenge and she has chosen a theme of Shoot From Above. I do not always shoot from above, however, on occasion I have a fantastic opportunity to do just that.

Here is remembering one of those occasions …

A Look from
Mount Jefferson State Natural Area
West Jefferson, Ashe County, North Carolina
 

More Shots from above at The Peak at Mountain Jefferson State Park …

These were taken in August of 2017 when my eldest son and I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and visited Mount Jefferson, North Carolina. I was in the area for a family reunion in Deep Gap, North Carolina. While in the area, we decided to do some sightseeing and a little hiking. It was a fun weekend of one on one time together.
