So, this morning I was finally settling back into my 'routine', so to speak and took time to snap a few pictures of our view. This is what I see as I'm eating breakfast:
I love the steam rising off of the lake this time of year. The ducks are returning, and our grebe is back! I do love it here!!!
Our friends who built this house and lived in it for almost ten years before we bought it, planted some amazing trees shortly after construction was completed. There are several enormous river birches that shade the house during the summer, and soften the contemporary exterior, and then there are three magnificent Japanese maples. They are just about at their peak of color. Here is one:
While I was outside snapping pictures, my little (well, not so little!) buddy was inside, quite miffed that he hadn't been invited on the photo shoot:
Thanks for dropping by...........I love it when you leave comments!

I love your view. I too feel very blessed with my view. There is something about being able to see water. Enjoy!!!
I am so happy for you that the move is over and your Mom is so happy. What a gorgeous view you have and the trees are beautiful. Do I sense some Autumn hued shibori in the future? Have a great rest of the week.
What a paradise! Yes, water is an ever changing view, different every day. I had that when I was around 20, and I loved it! Now I have small lakes in reach, just have to walk 5 minutes. That's great!
There's nothing like a view of nature to start your day. I have the same thing. I watch the sunrise most mornings and it makes it worthwhile to get up early.
You ceratinly ahve a glorious spot!! So glad to hear that your Mom is so happy in her new digs- now all of you can relax for a bit!!! I am sure that your head is bursting with ideas for new projects and plans for upcoming adventure!!
