The View Through My Window

A few days ago, I was fooling around with the camera and took a photo out the window I often stare at while pondering the white page before me and what words would paint a colorful story. While looking at the photo I thought, heck why not snap a shot every once in a while, just to see how a miniscule spot in the cosmic world changes? So from time-to-time expect a few photos of what’s going on outside my window.

Right now it’s all about the changing colors. One tree donned a dress of gold and soft orange for the big fall dance, while all around it, gently swaying limbs clothed in green stand ready to be the next centerpiece framed by my window.

I zoomed in on the tree trying to capture the subtle shades of color. It's probably a maple, but I'll let you know for sure.

Yesterday, I took a quick photo of what I actually see while sitting at my computer. No barky trunks or grass green, just a leafy outline against the sky

Today, the sky weeps for whatever it is that makes the clouds turn gray on a chilled October day. A view with the window closed casts a misty look with color barely showing through.

Throw the window open, and the world becomes a brighter, more vibrant place, even on a rainy day.

  1. I think you photos capture the essence of autumn perfectly. I look forward to more pictures of the same view as the season progresses.

  2. Thank you for visiting The Cottage and your kind comments. Most of the trees are turning golden shades of yellow, but soon the world will finally be in full fall regalia. I'm looking forward to spending some time searching for "kodak" moments before autumn falls into winter.

  3. I don't think I would ever leave the seat near the window. Such a pretty view, even when it is gloomy, it looks great.

  4. Aww.... thank you, Teresa. I'm working to find the beauty of where I am these days and it's actually helping me to rediscover the place I've lived for most of my life. The truth is I would much rather have a window overlooking the sea, a lake, a garden, an expanse of field or meadow, but this is my view for now. Thank you for your comment.

  5. Autumn's subtle changes are beautiful, aren't they? I'm so glad to be back from my vacation to see it all play out. Coming home to fall was like having a great surprise at the end of a beautiful trip.
