...to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free....

the view from my window



The sun was rising as we left this morning on an almost empty plane.


As the day brightened, this is what I saw out the window.

Then, for quite a while there was a grey/white blanket below, until:


Doesn't this look like frost on a window does early in the morning?


I love the way rivers wander.

Then, more grey-white blanket outside for awhile.


And then the patchwork appeared. 


and the contours


and the 'ferns.'


And this, just as we started to descend--surrounded by miles of open fields.


Is anything more beautiful than nature?

Well, maybe.  

This is my grandbaby.  Isn't she dear?

  5. Those aerial shots are so fascinating. What a lovely flight you had, but I'm sure nothing could top that precious little treasure at the end of your journey. ~Lili
