These photos were all selected, watermarked and ready to post – then I wasn’t able to get into my WordPress account. AAARRRGGH! Still, I want to provide a few snaps of Ups and Downs and thank our guest hostess for suggesting this theme!

This bridge is impressive in so many ways. I like this photo because it indicates we are entering the state of Washington, plus the light blue sky and white cloud make an interesting background.


Trees provide many beautiful opportunities to enjoy looking up!


My favorites – birds and the ever-changing clouds in Pacific Northwest skies.

Yes, it’s not quite the “long view down,” however I find joy in the little things that I encounter in the world around me.

Deep dive into the basalt canyon worn over time by the river running through it.

Mesmerizing, refreshing, amazing these natural wonders!

I’ll conclude with a photo taken a couple springs ago looking down at the rock garden from the deck of my home in Vancouver, WA.
Wishing everyone safe travels. Please be kind and stay safe.🐾
Enjoyed your take on this challenge and nature delight with birds and sky and water and more

These are interesting looking trees.
