You'll want to see this

Years ago, a friend told me a story from her childhood that I'd not heard before, and I think of it often. The story goes like this:

One morning, a little girl was looking across the valley from her house, admiring the beautiful golden windows on a house on the top of the hill.

"Mom," she said, "Do you see that house on the hill with golden windows? It must be so beautiful there, and the people who live there must be so wealthy! I'll bet they have no problems and their lives are filled with happiness every day. I wish OUR HOUSE had golden windows."

"Oh, darling," replied the mother, "no one's life is perfect. Even people who live in a house with golden windows."

"No, I think you are wrong! I want to go see for myself!" So the mother packed the daughter a lunch, and away the daughter went to cross the valley and see how wonderful life was for the people who lived in the house with golden windows.

The girl walked all day long. As she reached the bottom of the valley, she lost sight of the house but kept going. It was dusk by the time she reached the top of the other hill. But to her surprise, all she found was an ordinary house. She saw no golden ornaments, nothing that made the house look different or more special than any other house. The people looked ordinary, just like the people in her own family. She was puzzled.

Disappointed, she turned around to gaze at her own house across the valley she'd just crossed. And to her surprise, her house was ablaze with light. The windows shone with gold as the setting sun lit them up. In disbelief, she looked again at the ordinary house in front of her, then back to her house gleaming across the way.

"MY house has golden windows!" she said in amazement. She stood for a moment, struck by how beautiful her house looked from this side of the valley. She took off running back down the hill, eager to return to her family.

Have a good Sunday everyone

This morning's sunrise was quite the treat as I usually don't get to see them. I like how the bright red sun lit up the large window's of the Wisconsin's capitol rotunda.

Sea Window--this was hard to photograph, but it is 5 layers of glass with a fused glass piece on top and fish and sea grass between the outer layers.

The magic lighthouse-living quarters at Högby fyr, at the east coast of Öland, Sweden. There is sometimes art exhibitions in the summer where you can visit the attic.

If you think of New York, most of you think of Manhattan with its skyscrapers and thousands ands thousands of windows...

Was walking around my neighborhood yesterday evening, stopped to take a shot of these windows when I noticed a face watching my every move. I couldn't resist the opportunity.

collecting light.

places I've been, lights I've kept to myself. yes, it's been a long time..

lugares en los que he estado, luces que me he guardado. ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que visité mi fotodiario y a decir verdad, desde hace algún tiempo ya que me he sentido algo ausente,

absorta en una conversación conmigo misma que simplemente parece no llegar a una conclusión. darle tiempo al tiempo.

Malachi 3:10 KJV

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

As we drove along, I took lots of photos from the car window. It was amazing fun in a half random way. I think this is pretty.
