Lookin’ Up
It occurred to me that most of the time, I’m looking down when I walk. Not that I give this alot of thought. It’s just what I do. Over the years, it’s paid off. I’ve discovered all kinds of treasures from money, to jewelry, to lost items. Fast forward. Today was an absolutely exquisite, gorgeous spring day so I decided to head out at lunch time to get some sun and fresh air and of course, capture some new spring delight with my camera. As I was driving, in no particular direction, I started to contemplate what I would photograph. I mean, scenic vistas are not the backdrop in Southfield Michigan. So, I headed east over to Royal Oak where eclectic things, people and architecture are abundant. And I started thinking along the way…ya know, things are “lookin’ up”. It’s finally spring. The sun is out. It’s 60 degrees. Man, this is great. And then the ”lookin up” part struck a chord with me. And voila…it’s kind of cool to change perspective, and “look up” when I’m so accustomed to looking down. Here’s what I saw…
I happened upon a vintage shop. I can’t help but go inside and ask persmission to click away! 
Ahhh, yes. The sign says “Sole Sister”…and yes, that is my favorite song by Train. It’s even my ring tone. Which, if you call me and wonder why it’s taking so long for me to answer…it’s because I’m rockin’ to my ringtone
And last but not least….Gayle’s CHOCOLATE!!! I could live on chocolate alone
You always manage to find just the right shots.
The reason I never look up is I’m afraid I’ll bump into something. I can’t imagine the things I’ve been missing.
I always enjoy my visits here.
Note:
There is an award waiting for you on my blog About Moe – Daily.
Thanks Diane!! So happy you stopped by. I’m heading over to Moe now!!
It’s fun identifying the sites on the basis of the images. We live just a stone’s throw from Main and Washington Streets. I am glad you had such a fine day for taking pictures. A suggestion: you might enjoy taking some in either the Holiday Market (Main St just north of the I-696 service drive), or the farmers market on Eleven Mile, just east of Main St.
