52 Photos Project: Down Below

I woke up this morning with no idea what I was going to do about this week's 52 Photos Project.  It was not keeping me awake or anything, I just know I am going to be tied up starting tomorrow & well past the deadline so the post was going up today or never.

The theme "Down Below" put me in mind of what is below so many of the things I photograph.  Below the plants is some pretty ugly mulch (I make my own mix, don't you wish you had THAT recipe) & insects et al - I got a great snail picture, sliming its way up to ruin the banana blossom.  Or below the bird feeders; those birds get into squawking tussles you would not believe & a lot, A LOT of...well, everything gets left below the feeder.

But I woke up this morning & went out into the room we do most of our living in & there was Lilly, in her basket, down below.
