Inside Views
by Phillip Oliver - posted 11/28/11

Today was rainy and stormy, a good day to be indoors. I kept glancing outside the windows. There are still a lot of leaves left to fall and the overcast day really brightened the colors.
 

This is the view from one of the living room windows. The "Bloodgood" Japanese maple has almost dropped all of its leaves. They are so vibrant and red this year.
The view in the back looking out the big window in the little breakfast nook. The hydrangeas in the circle were pretty and green this fall and most of the leaves are still hanging on. The tree is a Sawtooth Oak.

Beautiful scenes Phillip. I'm still waiting for my 'Bloodgood' to turn red!

What a clever idea to take photos from the perspective of your view out of your window! Garden designers indicate we should have something wonderful to look out outside from every window. I keep trying to improve my views outside my windows. Your views are lovely.
