down low - team up thursday

Corey choose this weeks theme, "DOWN LOW" - this was indeed a challenge for a senior citizen (me) - haha! Being the sport that I am, I ventured out into the wild Idaho weather (rain, sleet, wind, cold) and actually captured a photo (not pictured) on my stomach, sprawled on the ground. A neighbor walking by did give me CRAP about my "DOWN LOW" form OR lack thereof - it wasn't a pretty sight! AT THE LAST MINUTE (this is becoming a habit) I changed my mind and decided to use a shot I took of my most cluttered dresser and ended up liking it better! I did get "DOWN LOW" on this necklace shot - I had to bend my knees and bend over at the waist - oh man, somedays that's as far as I can go!!! Hey! Don't laugh, just wait until to get to be a senior citizen!!!!!


DOWN LOW - DIPTYCH


"DOWN LOW"! Honey, Corey got mighty low on this shot - good thing she's young - I'd still be down for the count - haha, oh yeah! How cute - little toes with feet attached. I think they're adorable and I really miss them around our house. I love seeing them, tickling them, bathing them - well you get my drift! Nicely done, Corey and Sugar Bear.

Great theme - I simply love your shot and idea. The sharpness of your necklace and the blur of the background is just perfect. And even if you did't explain how you took your photo - down low fits perfectly. Normally necklaces are around your neck (hehe)and this one right now is down low.
BRILLIANT

I love the perspective of photos shot down low. The sparkly necklace and sweet toes make a great combo.

Good interpretation of down low. You don't have to b e physically low, and your image displays low perfectly. Nice close up of the necklace. :) I think it's a fun combo with those cute feet.

my favorite part of yours is the blurred photograph in the background. what a great way to have your eye travel from the beads in the foreground into the back of the picture. love this pair!

oh Berta! You are killing me with your description of getting down low. tee hee...sorry I did that to you! it was fun though. you should have seen me lying out flat on my deck. I'll be posting some more pics from that perspective next week sometime! Can't wait to see what you pick for our theme this week.

I thought the exact same thing as Megan - I loved the blurred photo in the background. I also like that you can see you bent over in the reflection of the beads - you are a fabulous photographer!
