Everywhere we look, people are looking down. At their cell phones, at their shoes, at nothing at all. We’d like you to join us this week to remind everyone to look up! When we venture outdoors, there’s so much to see above us – birds like the osprey you see above searching for fish to dive on, puffy white clouds, butterflies, tree branches filled with life, a night sky filled with stars… The sky really is the limit to what you might see if you look up, so this week we’re asking you to point your lenses toward the sky and see what wonders you can capture!
On Wednesday, March 6th (at 2pm EST, so be sure to submit your entries before that time, even at 1:59pm!) we’ll choose 1 judge’s choice winner, 5 runner ups, and 1 audience choice winner & share their entries here on LetsBeWild.com! Send your friends to this page to leave a comment-vote for your entry to win the audience choice award!
Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter by signing up on the right sidebar, so that you can keep updated about the challenge winners and our upcoming challenges!
Here are the quick & easy Challenge rules – please read them carefully so that you can be entered in the running to win!

Thanks again to the folks at Let’s Be Wild!
Really enjoyed Looking Up the tree and the huge thunderhead from the monsoonal flows. And one just has to get a moon shot in as well, good job!
I think my favorite is looking up the span of the tree
Thank you Jody for your comment! On my blog most are commenting on this one photo! I was amazed that I still could not see the top!

wonderful picture – with a slight comical side to it, as he’s nearly too large to stay where he is 🙂

I believe the camels are my favorite, though they’re all good catches
I was thrilled to receive an honourable mention last week. Really gave me lots of encouragement.
So here is this weeks peering up into the trees
Oops, forget the link…

I really like this theme since I’m always looking up. And when I’m not tripping over something as a result, I’m snapping photos. 🙂
Some really great stuff here. Here’s my entry:

Looking up at the amazing ice formation at Tews Falls, in Hamilton, Ontario. Tews is one of over 150 waterfalls found in Hamilton.
