Looking down.............

Img_6563 I must admit, I do spend a lot of time looking down when I'm walking along a street................ I'm a little paranoid about stepping in things I'd rather not put my feet in............... Img_6560 I am aware there are things I miss out on by not looking up more often.............. Img_6559 .............But then again............. if I didn't look down all the time, I'd miss out on these flowers, which most would call weeds.............. Img_6566 ...............growing in the most inhospitable place......... through concrete! Img_6557 It's a no-win situation, because I can't look up, and down, at the same time................although I wish I could. The way I'm talking you probably have an image of me, head bowed, shoulders hunched, walking along as though I'm battling a strong head-on wind............... I've given you the wrong impression..............I do look up..............and when I do............. Img_6569 .............. sometimes I see things like this!

Now that is the "BLUEST BLUE" and
I love the first image ...the flowers
are just like little fairy light's...

Your photos lately have had such a beautiful subtle range of colours, I never imagined there were sooooo many shades of grey or that they could be so pretty!
I agree with RI the top photo has such beauty. And I loved your Grey-and-Green photos earlier in the week too.
Incidentally I do the opposite to you and tend to cloud-watch a lot when I walk, which means I trip over a lot, I think you ave the safest approach, especially as a lot of my to-and-from-school walking is along the side of a canal!

I always think it's amazing how nature takes over if left long enough, I noticed a cupboard I have in my yard has suddenly got really pretty weeds growing on it. I am always loathed to get rid of them.
Your photos are gorgeous as always.
