Room with a view

The view out of my window at work. I LOVE this old tree even though it has more mistletoe on it then leaves and that I worry with each rainstorm and windy day that it will finally topple over.

Day 30

I tried to get this baby in focus but it looks to me like the focus fell on the leaf to the right...not on the bud. That's what I get trying to take the pic between wooden blinds.

As far as the background looking SO yellow...our walls are this "terracotta" color. eeck. It really shows up doesn't it? Which is why I did a B&W version.

yummmmmmm.........
We have a candy guessing game going on right now. How many chocolates are in the jar?? Who cares...when can we get the chocolates OUT? ;)
We've had to tape the lid shut because the Dads (yes JUST Dads) were getting into the jar and eating the chocolates. Oh boy.

Day 26

my poor ol' rose bush
This is my only "full size" rose bush. It was given to me by my Dad many, many years ago. It's blooms smell gorgeous and are HUGE. You just can't kill this thing. It hasn't been watered since the 90's yet it grows and grows. I like the contrast of the "blooms" against the folliage in hibernation.
