Windows can definitely hide a lot of mysteries behind them, for sure... 🏯😎🏯

I once had a view

Looked out my window to see

Mountains, progress now.

That's so true! It's very sad the way those views of nature's wonders, and beautiful open spaces, are being slowly eroded away... 🏯😎🏯

I'm glad it was THAT kind of murder!

We have a robin nesting over our deck, so my hubby set up a nest cam so we can watch the babies grow!

Ahh, the nest cam sounds lovely! That will be wonderful to see them hatching and growing. I've been meaning to set some cameras up here, to capture some of the wildlife activity. Especially the things that are going on at night. It's a whole other world, but it needs a device with some 'night vision' to observe it all... 🏯😎🏯

My husband set up a bunch of them - apparently the night vision is built in. It turned out that there is a lot activity around here while we're sleeping! We've gotten footage of foxes, coyotes, deer, porcupines, skunks, woodchucks, turkeys, and a couple appearances by a bobcat and once a moose, strolling by my vegetable patch - those guys are HUGE. The thing my husband finds most annoying is that spiders seem to be attracted to the cameras and keep activating them while spinning webs over the lenses! 🕸

Descending slowly

Like white cathedral windows

Winter snow arrives

Ahh yes, snow always looks lovely when it piles up around windows. Even if it's just the fake stuff out of a can! Haha... 🏯😎🏯

I'm in Arizona, high temp of 112 F today. I can only indulge in thoughts of snow. That's funny! I should get a can of that stuff.

It’s the windows then

Where else can the soul be found

Always the windows

Ahh, yes! A glimpse of the soul, by looking in someone's eyes. They are very special windows, for sure... 🏯😎🏯

Heavy, stifling heat.

It cracks windows in their frames,

sneaks in like a thief.

small windows, tall walls

One sided windows

Many opportunities

Missed in reflection

Windows opened doors

Making tasks much easier

Now replacing jobs

Panes, pains, paynes hustled

Through windows, keeping us sharp

Success or menace?
