This is an oldies but a goodies, from my previous home. See Miss Teddie in the window? She/they all loved sitting there on the window sill watching the birds and the butterflies! HFF, ya'll!
This picture, which I took on one of my trips to Vietnam, also fits into the series "Window in House Wall". Ho Chi Minh City - the former Saigon - offers a myriad of good such photo motifs. I love going on a photo tour in Ho Chi Minh City.

Saturday Self Challenge: Translucent
The sun shining through the curtains caught my eye for this week's challenge.
Shot of some brave window washers in New York City. I took this shot from the Top of the Rock, on the 70th floor.
This is a typical window with wooden shutters, in the neighborhood of Plaka in Athens, Greece.
Nothing special but I liked the colour contrast between the purple wall and the shutters.
Hard to believe that I have been in this common room at St. Dominic's Retirement Village so many times, and I never even looked up to see this window until our visit last Friday. "Eyes Wide Shut."
"Windows frosted
Summer's sleeping
But I don't really mind
I know that it's cold outside
The world is bundled up in white
I just need you by my side
'Cause I'm warmer in the winter with you"
~Lindsey Stirling
I sit by the window.
Hands lock my knees.
My heavy shadow's my squat company.
My song was out of tune,
my voice cracked,
but at least no chorus can ever sing it back.
I sit by the window in the dark.
shadows in waves
behind the wavelike curtain crash.
A loyal subject of these second-rate years,
I proudly admit my finest ideas
are second-rate, and may the future take them
as trophies of my struggle against fate.
I sit in the dark.
And it would be hard to figure out
which is worse: the dark inside, or the darkness out.
--Joseph Brodsky
Snow Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Tucked away at the end of the trail from my previous post lies a sparkling jewel with the name of Snow Lake. (Not to be confused with the several other Snow Lakes in Washington, some of which I have also hiked!) Ringed by the rocky slopes of the Tatoosh Range, the colors shimmer and dance in the sunlight with shades of blue and green that make you want to rub your eyes and wonder if it's real. Enchanting, or perhaps enchanted, the magic draws you in. Into this world where all that exists is mountains, sky, and water, and all that speaks is the gentle ripple of lake against shore and the silent calm of steadfast peaks.
Note:
The bright sunlight that makes the colors of the lake so beautiful is also obviously not optimal for photography, and the sun was directly over the surrounding mountains while I was there. But if anyone would like some visual context of the lake basin with the mountains, here's a quick shot I grabbed with my phone - while crossing a slightly unstable log across the lake's outlet stream!
