Well, actually it’s my front window… But you get the idea…
My first morning in my new home, and this is what I’m greeted with.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to hang window treatments over this view!
It’s so great to be here in Pagosa (and to have learned how to properly pronounce “Colorado”). Don’t have much besides the views, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Here’s hoping you’re all doing fantastically!
Haha, just realized I broke rule number one… focal object smack DAB in the middle of the photo! Well, I *was* looking mostly at the mountains… Maybe that clump of grass on the left balances… a little… ;)
Wonderful!
It really is spell-binding! This morning there was fog :D What I love about this setting is that I find that when something SO majestic hovers around at all times, the little close-up details (like dirty dishes and unpainted trim on a window) become so insignificant. It’s kind of like a constant opportunity to look at the beauty of the big picture rather than focusing on temporary inconveniences. :)
Sounds ideal to me.
A real rolling rustic Bounty!
Haha, indeed it is, Babajij! And the home it’s shot from is even more rustic, which is why it’s not in the shot! ;) Cooked a first dish there last night, once the landlord turned on the propane and we could fire up the stove… ‘Round here, boasting a propane tank is considered a badge of independence, and truly, we are almost off the grid, if still relying on fossil fuels. It’s kinda neat!
Wow…nice view. I’m doing just fine too :)

The view from your new home is superb and I’m so glad that you sound content. And that sky…oh…
It seems quite inviting, doesn’t it… ;D
Yes, indeed it does Leslee…
Beautiful view. The buildings across the way remind me somewhat of old mining towns out West… well, you are out West now, LOL. Glad you’re settling in. Hope you have a down jacket. Winter comes fast to CO.
Hi, lovely Elizabeth! You have been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve wished I had more time to follow everything and stay in touch. Yes, a lot of the buildings around here echo with ghosts of many years ago… We had the first snow up on the San Juans yesterday, and I’m keeping an eye out for a snow shovel and a parka, for sure! Locals predict a lot of snow this year… I’m kind of hoping I’ll pick up some cool extra-terrestrial snow shoes on a dreamflight sometime… I hope you’re well, and I hope as much for a few hours to stop by your blog VERY soon… I sense you’ve been up to some wonderful things… Love and light, Leslee
