This week’s photo challenge is intriguing because it guides the eye towards seeing a little closer from a distance.
And vice versa.
It’s like wearing progressive lenses and making your head go up and down in order to see the same thing in blurred, broader, narrower or focused perspectives.

Lovely photos for this challenge.
Thank you, Ms. Janaline. Nice to be able to share them with you…

Your post is a timely cotirnbution to the debate
Fun.
Thank you, PIF. Wish I could have flown with this fun crew!

Great idea about perspective here. I LOVE balloons–to look at but never ride. I’m not keen on heights. *grins*
Lovely pictures and colourful subjects.
Well, now, you might enjoy a tethered ride, just going up a small way with an anchor. I know some therapists who do systematic desensitization for such things… 😀

I might still get too close to the sun and get a SUN-burn so I’m playing it safe. *grins*
Lol! yes, sunburn is a serious risk here at the sea, and one not to be pooh-poohed. Consider yourself “off the hook…”
Love this – really a clever and interesting response – great job!! Also liked your progressive lenses analogy!
Thanks, Ms. Tina. I suppose I gave away my age genre when that analogy popped into my head and spilled onto the keyboard 😀

Wonderful interpretation of the challenge. Like your illustration of the progressive lens glasses as I try to navigate life with those daily. We have an annual hot air balloon event in our community in September and looking forward to seeing them float over town, soon. These events offer lots of photo ops.
Absolutely! Looking forward to your pics/posts for that event. Balloons are so colorful and interesting. Thank you, Pastor Spindler.

Your photos jogged my memory of some taken last year, so posted a “focus: take 2” today, giving you kudos in the post.
Why, thank you so much! Those are excellent balloon photos – I love the differently-focused perspectives. The slide show is really neat, too!

Lovely photography!
Thank you, Shoes! (for some reason this comment turned up in my spam folder – I can’t figure out why). Glad you enjoyed it.
