Leap of Faith

By

I am forever fascinated by feet shots. Funny thing, since my feet are far from pretty. There is just something about them I find fascinating and common all at once. Seeing where others stand, how they stand, what they have on their feet, all catch my eye and hold my attention. Some bare foot and carefree, perhaps dipping their toes in new waters. Others pretty and feminine in a great pair of heels, headed for a night out. Some commemorating a place, or time, or perhaps simply celebrating a new pair of shoes. What girl doesn’t love that?

Lately I am loving shots of leaping, lifting off, and jumping. There is just something utterly joyful and hopeful in these shots. So what are you feeling today? Are you feeling grounded? Or are you ready to take a leap with me? 

Show us where you stand.

  7. thanks kirstin for including me in such a lovely post!, very honoured…. i’m gonna get out and jump again today with you in mind!…
    congrats for becoming a regular contributor, well deserved x.

  8. I am thrilled to Kristin here as contributor. She conveys so much more than pictures in her photographs.

  12. Right now I’m feeling grounded. I just got a promotion at work which has left me a tad apprehensive, but excited for the monumental change this is going to make for my family. So in the security that our finances will have very soon, I am grounded.
    Your shot is gorgeous, as always.

    This was taken yesterday. The leaves were so beautiful I stopped my truck, hopped out on the side of the road, & seized the moment.

  20. That photo is fantastic! The color and movement are amazing. I agree with everyone else too, that the shoes are great.

    I am fairly new here, but I took these shots of my 2 y.o.’s feet yesterday, and thought I’d play along.

    I often catch my feet on the ground, as you can see in this set:

  34. yes those are my feet, but the great blue tights are my teenager daughter’s, shhhhhhh!!!!!! she was at school!!! shhhhhh! 😉
    and wow jump shots are not easy. or at least not for me. it took quite a few jumps and clicks of my remote. over and over and over. i got 2 that were usable of the lot. it was probably quite funny to watch me.

  38. omg!!
