Goodnight Moon | Outside My Kitchen Window

Go outside and look at the moon. This is the night sky outside my kitchen window taken just a few minutes ago. It is very beautiful. Goodnight moon. 

Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show #134

This Weimaraner named Sizzle is enjoying some well-deserved lap time. I guess you're never too big to be a lap dog. I love this breed. They all seem to be so comfortable in their own skin.

Snow Treescape With Sun

The sun has turned the trees in this forest into bars of gold. Stunning. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Rosemary.

HMCraig Art | Thanks For The Mention

HMCraig Art: Rules to Live By (borrowed edition)

Thanks so much for the mention. This is the only way I could think of to contact this talented artist and blogger to thank her for mentioning me on her blog. I wanted to leave a comment but they aren't enabled and there is no email contact information. You need to fix this. Let me know if you need help. Thanks, Rosemary
PS...You should follow her.

Wonderful Antique Windows

Now that's what I call a window. I don't think I've ever seen a better one.

These interior windows are wonderful too.

Abandoned windows. I could never walk away from these, could you?

Curved window alcove with ice crystals on the glass. Nice shutters and fabulous carved millwork. I'd love to have some frozen windows to photograph today. These would be perfect.

I've always liked windows that opened awning style. Love the vines too.
Enjoy the last weekend in February.

English Squirrel In The Snow

Here is another one of those wonderful English squirrels. It's very fitting for him to be in the snow since so many of us are as well today.
