We once lived in an apartment or two where the view from our kitchen sink was—the wall. Later we lived in a house where the kitchen-window view was of our neighbor’s carport. Our next home had mirrors flanking a corner-sink—so I suppose that view was a significant improvement. But now the view from the window by our kitchen sink overlooks our backyard gardens and the woodlot downhill beyond the split-rail fence. The views change from day to day, week to week, season to season. But sometimes it’s easier to just stop and look—or reach for the camera—than to wash a pot or pan. What do you think?

Gorgeous Bob. Thanks for sharing. That's the kind of view that makes me dreamy and then all of the sudden the dishes are done! C.McC
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You have a wonderful and beautiful habitat for birds, butterflies, and deer! I too have a nice view from the kitchen window and keep the camera within reach.... you never know who will visit when you have your hands in the sink :) Beth
