Looking Through My Windows

I was sitting comfortably in the living room (in the log cabin portion of our house that we built ourselves when I looked up and noticed the beautiful colour out each of the windows in front of me.  It was as if the glow of golden leaves outside was seeping right into the room.  So I got some pictures - through the windows.

But first, a reflection of the view, the first time I've ever tried to photograph a reflection in glass - in this case on the front of a large framed painting (of Beech leaves in the fall).

I certainly didn't avoid the blurriness in this one, but the entire thing is a reflection off a painting.  The same window as the next photo, but a different view because of the angle of the reflection.

We've got windows on three sides of this room, so the light shines in beautifully anytime.  The first one looks northwest toward the small Birch tree out front, now all yellow.

This window view captures the young White Pine tree and Sumachs across our lane, and the trees across the street.

This, looking straight west, shows mostly trees on the property across the street.  There's a screen in the left window here, which doesn't help.  We have hawk silhouettes on several windows to deter the birds from trying to fly through the house!

Here I'm looking south out over our yard, toward the old stone fencerow; the green tree on the right is a very old apple tree which never really turns colour, but just loses its leaves while they're still green.

And a slightly different angle looking south shows the big boulder they dug up when digging our foundation; it's a focal point for a ring of Brown-eyed Susans and Coneflowers in August/September.

I'm disappointed in the blurriness of these photos, but it was fun to capture the actual views I see out the windows, sitting reading my book and thinking how lucky we are to live here!
