PHOTO PAIRS - LOOK UP! LOOK UP!

Often when I am out with my camera I am looking for photo opportunities, such as pairs to share  on Helena's weekly meme over at Helena's Creative Maven.  The problem is I download them and then get involved in other things or don't get round to posting. Which is a shame as I love photo challenges and taking part with others. I must find a way round this....

But for now I do have a pair to share, taken on a walk the other day when I visited a local garden. I took a path I do not often venture down and stopped in my tracks to admire the bark on this tree: 



And while I looked up I noticed something on the tree next to it.


A pair of Koala's!  I had to add this pair too! 

What was interesting is that as I looked up, other people passed and were tempted to do the same. This created conversation about the importance of looking up and amusement at seeing the unexpected. It also made me think of my friend Melanie in Australia. And how much pleasure I can get from a simple photo challenge. Thanks Helena. I really will post more and not just take photos to leave them in my downloads!

Thanks for popping by and if you missed my last post you can see more photos taken on my walk including daffodils in December. And for more photo pairs, just click on the link at the beginning.

    What a fun Pair today. Yes we all need to remember to take the time to look up, look down, look around & be present. Happy New Year.

    Well, that must have been a surprise! The textures on your bark photos are glorious - I want to reach in and touch :).

    What a surprise! I wonder how many people have walked right by without seeing them. Having a camera in hand surely increases what I see! Doesn't look much like December!

    Fabulous photos. We inherited one of the second type of tree when we bought our house. The bark is amazing but the tree grows 4-5 feet every year!

    It just goes to show what we miss if we shuffle along, looking at our feet. How lovely.

    What a brilliant Pair to finish this meme with. I think Look Up /Look Down was a very interesting year with Helena and is something I never forget to do now. I have made a plan to join in more frequently with your 5in 5 meme x Happy New Year to you Sandie
