The sunset, it is only 3:55pm and the sunset is starting but I can see it right outside my window sitting at my computer. There are some tree in front of it but if I look out my other window of my bedroom I can see the sky better and all the beautiful colors during the sunset.
The sky tonight with its blinking stars, winking their eternal light into our grateful hearts, greeting us from far but in the same time so close, gratitude for this silent moment of awe, reflecting what is in our hearts, stillness, breathtaking moments of utter beauty, space and perspective unbound. Thank you, life, thank you, Universal Love, for your gift of unfolding and healing. May our dear friend, our loved ones, may our neighbor, may all beings be well and healed. Blessings abound.✨🙇♀️🙏✨🌟✨
I live a stone’s throw from a major U.S. city but when I look out the back patio, it’s all woods. Critters are everywhere – squirrels, possums, chipmunks, even coyotes and the occasional fox – all next door to the city. That’s amazing!
Tall beautiful trees, oaks and pine, trunks dappled with sun, branches reaching for the sky.
A female magnolia, bright green leaves glistening in the sun. The sky, bright blue and cloudless.
This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.

Looking out the big front window over the kitchen sink, the view is different every day. Tall trees, mostly evergreens, stand at the end of the street where the big park full of trees begins, past our neighbors’ houses. Some days fog shrouds the trees, and that’s the forecast for the next few days. Today the sky is gray, the light muted. An occasional bird swoops past. This scene is ever-present, ever-changing.
The other direction, one of my favorite trees, our Dr. Seuss tree. We call it that because it’s rounded on the top and kept trimmed straight across the bottom because it hangs over the small deck on the back of the house. Right now it appears dormant, yellow/red twigs arching gracefully. In spring it will burst with blossoms and it provides shade all summer long. Beyond, the row of arbor vitae that provides a green wall between our yard and the neighbor beyond.
The overall amazing part is that we can live in close proximity to others and yet have so much green, so much nature, so much peaceful privacy and quiet. We’re so lucky to have found this house in this neighborhood.
From my warm bed, drinking ☕️, listening to classical music, my “window with a view” is a hazy, blue, milky sky & sunshine.
So what amazes me is that the sun is out today after a few days of little or no sunshine.
Father Sun lifts my spirits immediately.
I am grateful.🙏🏻☀️
First I must acknowledge the thought for today with its photo of water. Both bring thoughts of & prayers for you, Joseph. Your appreciation for the blessing of water has increased my gratitude for this essential gift. Safe home to you.
Out my prayer window right now, I see two trees..one empty of leaves with an evergreen right beside it. The yin~yang of death~life always amazes me. Namaste, all.
My new place has a south facing window with a view of the sky. I sit here in the mornings and watch the stars fade and the sky start to lighten.
The colors changing and the sun hitting the tips of the trees. To have this at all, amazes me.
I am looking at our 18 year old snow fountain cherry tree, which takes up almost our whole front yard. Most of the leaves are gone from the tree for the season, but the fountain-style branches make a beautiful pattern against the sky. It is fairly still outside right now, but I am amazed to notice how a leaf first on one part of the tree will pick up a slight breeze and start moving slightly, and then it will become still and a leaf on another part of the tree will start moving.
I looked out from my office window, and the sun is shining on the trellises in my backyard. It’s winter now, and I have nothing on the trellises. But there is always a sign of hope as spring comes. Our family will have a bunch of bitter melons and gourds on these trellises to enjoy in the summer.

A joyous Saturday to all.
And to you also dear Mary.

The snow that is falling this morning! There is not much wind so it is creating a sense of calm as it silently covers the ground like a warm blanket.

My Ngoc, the computer room you’re in has good morning sunshine.
The beauty and vulnerability of barren boulevard trees standing like sentinels greeting a faint morning sun.
Seeing the tiny sparrows try to drink iced water from the bird bath.
It’s light outside now looking at the window from my bedroom.
And that means you have slept in this morning 😂
Yes, my Ngoc. I slept in until 8am.
A very still snow covered backyard with tiny footprints all over the area.
That sounds beautiful, Pilgrim.
Wishing you a beautiful day!
Stay warm!♥️
