Through The Window (Vancouver April 30th - Los Angeles May 6th)



Come.

Come if you will.

Come play a game.

Come play a game with me.

Look out your window.

Tell me what you see.

Tell me how it is different than it was a few hours ago.

Tell me how it is different now from yesterday.

Tell me how it is different now from the day before yesterday.

Is it really different?

Now let me take you to my world.

Let me show you what I see out the window.




Out my window, this particular day, which was April 30th, 2013, was beautiful Vancouver, Canada. I don’t think I ever realized that the city had bustling water airplane service. I saw many planes landing out my window that day.

The next day’s view was not quite as romantic. Victoria, Canada was lovely, but my view… not so much.

(The following day, May 2nd, is missing a picture.)
May 3rd, a look outside my window and beautiful blue ocean I did see.
You hate your alarm clock. (And by the way, who the hell has an alarm clock anymore? Just sayin’.) 

And I, well, I am not terribly fond of mine.

But on May 3rd, it gave me a delightful gift. I woke, looked out my window, and do look at what I did see.

We were sailing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco two minutes after the alarm clock rang. (Or more accurately my phone played Ben Harper fittingly singing, "It's all right...")

May 5th, May 5th was unfortunate. I love with great affection, my home of Santa Barbara California. But man if what Santa Barbaran’s call “May Gray” was not in full force. The ship was at anchor, off the coast and my room looked out toward the islands, not that they can be seen.

And then there way May 6th, oh the charms of LA.

So do, do take a look out your window, and tell me what you see.

Over the next few months I will post collections of what I have been seeing, sets at a time.

It is a fascinating perspective of life, looking out the window, awaking every day, never knowing what you will see out your window.

Stupid: Only knowing that one day I will return to a life where I look out my window ever day and find little has changed.

Cool: Enjoying a different site every day for now.
