FROM MY WINDOW

A fun place to sit, enjoy my morning coffee,
watch the world go by,
read my favorite blogs
or actually do some work!
We get the morning sun here
- in the afternoon this place is unbearable
and we have to close the balcony door
until much later in the afternoon.

The past two years
Mr. and Mrs. Canada Goose perched up here.

They woke us every morning around 5:30 a.m.

flying around our towers,
having a honking conversation,
and then settling up there
surveying their land

as though these buildings
were mountain peaks.

Don't know if they had a nest up there.

The Department of Wildlife would

relocate the family 

once the young ones were hatched.
The closest body of water
is a few kilometers away.

They've left now for the season.

I really ought to check out that

pot o' gold at the end of the gorgeous rainbow.

It must be close by!

The Geraniums planted in that flower bed
two months ago
are enjoying the warm summer days
and have come into full bloom! 
We have our summer picnic in this pretty spot
this week-end!
One can see this location
on Google Earth!

Love watching the sky change

sometimes from hour to hour!
This is facing southwest and most
weather systems seem to come
from there.

Some sunrises are more spectacular than others.
The tall building in the distant right
is the new 14 story condo building of the
organization for which I work.
That's the location of our campus of care
- not far from home!

Summer week-ends tend to bring

balloonists overhead. 

The gentle morning breeze carries them

to some lovely meadow south of us! 

Some days it is so quiet 

- and they fly so low - 

one can almost have a conversation with them!

Love when there are two or three

almost in competition with one another.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT AROUND HERE!
