If you cant wake up in paradise

If your like me you don't have the luxury as to picking your Idyllic ocean front villa some where, or for that matter parking your boat in one... as of yet at least...but we dream don't we.

So what do you see out your window in the morning?

Well....we all want to know what that view of the world looks like from your little corner of it...and here is your chance to dust off that old camera and get a little artistic with lighting, composition and all that jazz..The only rule is it indeed must be a picture out one of our windows as to what you do actually see.

I have seen beautiful pictures of alleys, train yards, farm fields, brick walls and yes even roofs of other houses...So put away the Bah-Humbug attitude and join in the fun.

What does your room with a view look like.

I woke up to this today.

God is indeed a masterfull landscaper.

The purchase price of a boat is just the admittance fee to the dance...you still have to spend money on the girl...so court one with something going for her with pleasing and desirable character traits others desire as well... or you could find yourself in a disillusioned relationship contemplating an expensive divorce.

By the looks of that shot, Still, you do wake up looking at Paradise!

Here's our view of the Fraser River early one morning, with Washington's Mt Baker distant.



Now... just wait for Fuzzy to post his view..... Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Nice pic Still old mate. Not at all sure I'd give your gardener the credit though. ..... I'm more inclined to believe it was Slartibartfast.

(and if I ever do wake up in Paradise I am going to look very silly indeed !!)

Still - that is truly awesome. And you're right - God's the best designer/artist...like...ever.

I'll get a pic up as soon as we green up. Should be about 3 weeks. Heh-heh.
