Recently, I have become enamored of this window in our diningroom. For whatever reason, it seemd to offer more than a window on the world. As a matter of fact, it really isn't so much a 'window on the world' as it is a window on the bush-world outside of the diningroom.

The gnarly twisted cedar 'bush' that lives next to the house presses right up against the window and creates a kind of 'filter' through which light trickles and streams in broken shafts and pin-pricks. It also hosts rain droplets, ice and snow, as well as a few birds now and again. I swear that, as a weather indicator, it's more dependable and whole lot more enjoyable than the thermometer we have outside the kitchen window.
