On the days that I work the morning shift at the entrance station, it can be pretty slow in the early hours of the day. On those days, I like to watch the flowers grow.
These little asters are in reality, only about four inches tall. But, they can seem like towering plants, depending on your perspective.
Yes, I was practically lying on the ground, in my spiffy uniform, hat and all, trying to get a good shot of them. And while most of them are pathetically out of focus, I still like the feel of the photos enough to share them.
I can only imagine that this is the what a bug or a ground squirrel would see on their little journey through that patch of weeds.
And while there is no picture of him, one of those little ground squirrels did come by, and peek his head in my door that day. I just wasn’t fast enough to capture him. The view from my cubicle is great!

Just looking at the pictures lowered my blood pressure.
You, my love, have the best workplace view EVER!

When I was looking at these neat shots I was thinking, "this is what it must look like from an ant's point of view." And the more I read, the more I realized we were on the same page!
Thanks for tweeting about your blog! I enjoyed it.

Isan't it amazing how your perspective changes when you work someplace like the North Rim. Your observations are what life should inspire us to experience.

I have bars on the window of my cube….I'm not sure if they are there to keep burgalers out of to keep me in LOL 😉 I love the Asters…do you ever give the squirrels peanuts? I went to pick Mama up last Wednesday for our shopping day and as I passed Mrs. Echols house, I noticed a squirrel standing on it's back legs with it's little paws clinched together looking back and forth in her front door. I told Mama about it so I called her…I said, "Mrs. Gloria, did you know you have a peeping Tom at your front door?" to which she replied, "yes, I cook them cornbread and hand feed them, he's probably there looking for his cube of cornbread." LOL too funny…you had to see it 😉
