If you want to join Sky Watch Friday blogging, go here for the blogroll. Skywatch I always felt that a photo taken thru a window isn't the best but all these were done that way and I like them all.
The three window panes do not open and one has a screen so the slider moves. It is impossible to lean out and take photos. Wish we had balconies. I am on the 8th floor!
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

You have very clean windows. These are wintry wonderful. God bless.
Nice Sky Watch pictures.
Nice pictures. You must have opened the window and leaned way out!

Nice Paulie.
I was looking at your photos of different sunsets also, down below. Lovely! :)
Wishing you a great weekend.
You did great taking these pictures. I love the transition of colors of the sky.
Yes it is not so good thru a window but your photos are very nice. Is it insulated glass?

I hope all that gray melted away to a sunny day for you.
I would agree with you on windows, but here it didn't seem to matter!
We had rain again yesterday and last night. So far the sun isn't shining this morning either but I have my Christmas lights on.

I take quite a few pictures through windows. What a blessing to have windows that look on scenes such as these!
Nice Sky Watch photos!
Great view from your windows!
I to try to avoid shooting through windows as it does tend to soften the image but sometimes soft is exactly what works. Great work!
Thanks for visiting Country Captures.
