        This photo was taken several months ago on the hiking/biking trail at Moraine State Park (PA). Note the black specks just to the right of center. (You probably need to click on the image to see them in a larger view.) They are birds, probably Canadian geese who live at the nearby lake.
        My husband and I usually walk in the late afternoon. Just before reaching the parking lot on the way back, the path curves up a hill and the sun is immediately in front of us. I particularly liked this view with the contrast of the dark clouds rolling in and the sun fighting to peek through.

        The window above our kitchen sink faces west. On a sunny day, the light can nearly blind one working at the sink, and on hot summer days the room becomes unbearably hot, so we put up this reed shade. There are shelves in the window so you can see the shadows of some the things that collect there, even though you probably won't recognize them from the shadows.

Addendum added 4/27/09:

        For those who wondered what was behind the shade: On the bottom shelf, we keep odd cleaning items like a box of Brillo pads, bottle brushes and a spinning scrubber, also empty bottles. The top shelf is filled with cow creamers. The middle shelf also has cow creamers, plus two cow-shaped cutting boards. If you wonder why cows, see my previous post: The Bovine Comedy.
