Eye Catching Site From Windows

56

Spectacular View

Do you have a site that draws your eyes automatically? I have a spectacular site to view from every window on the back side of my house. It a small Japanese maple that is awesome to look at. It isn't even hard to imagine when it is bare of its leaves during the winter, what it looks like dressed in its beautiful leaves.

I can always picture what it will look like when it is dressed in its leaves. Then the memory of how it looks when fall comes is breathtaking. I have yet to take a photo that really catches its beauty. Believe me, I think my husband get tired of me trying.

Our neighbor a couple houses down and across from us has one on his front lawn, but it can not begin to compare to the look of our little tree. Maybe ours is fed by other trees and azaleas around it. Theirs is one tree in the middle of their lawn that gets direct sun, where ours is diffused sun.

Drawing Beauty

Whenever I look at this tree I am reminded of God and all the beauty he created for us to enjoy. He created everything we see with his glorious touch. I feel his closeness in everything I see, feel and hear. When I am alone at home it is quiet as I don't run the tv or radio. They are more of a distraction as I can't hear the things around me that I prefer to be aware of.

This tree draws my eyes to look with every window I pass and can see out. Taking a photo of the tree through each window as I passed it. Five different rooms to look at its splendor from various views. Radiant regardless which window being viewed from.

Your pictures of the maple tree are beautiful. I agree with you, there is so much beauty on this earth to be enjoyed and appreciated. Sad that so many people pass it up each day.

I enjoy the splendor of trees; each has its own unique stateliness and form. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your magnificent maple tree.

What wonderful views. I used to have a gorgeous Japanese maple in front of my LR window. It blocked the view of the street and in fall! Well you know how it looks. It broke my heart when it died.

Dolores it truly would be a sad day if mine died. The leaves are falling now but the tree even bare has so much character for being so small. It is amazing what a storm and a couple of days will do.
