Getting away is brilliant. Seeing new places. Beauty. Trekking. The sun & lazy afternoons. The result of one such afternoon the last week is this set of pictures. Taken during a happy conversation with a friend. All the time I normally spend in office, the sun shines and makes beauty wherever light falls :) Here's my moments with the sun and some arbitrary reasonless prettiness.

Curving branches
Cast curving shadows
Stripes of light
An old wall glows
Leaves creep up

Taking a step back. Looking at life. In and out. I've been busy doing a lot of that of late. And that's one of the reasons I haven't been posting. (Apologies, apologies!!!) Aren't windows so much like that. Perspectives, light in, sight out? From inside windows give you views of the world outside. And from out it gives you a peek into a home, a way of being, a slice of life. Have I told you guys I have an obsession of looking at other peoples homes? Anything will do- the way the plants are parked on a window sill, a fluttering curtain, the ceiling fixtures, a hint of a frame. I'm happy to take in any detail. And when I speak of windows I can only think of my flickr friend Marion's (Lunalunita) work. Here's a peek at MANY beautiful windows from her world, Palma de Mallorca- I can't have enough of it :)

Beautiful walls

Pretty drapes...
Architectural detail...
Plants galore...



Lovely balconies...


And interesting shapes. And some of Marion's pictures are SO framable. She's got a brilliant eye for shapes and colour.



You can see more of her beautiful work here.

And here are some images of how interesting life inside can be :) Whites let the attention remain on the focal points in the room apart from letting in loads of light.

Bold stripes can become the focal point in the room.
A touch of fire to a warm colour scheme.
Stripes are fun! And so are veggies & flora for a dining room :)
A t shirt collage curtain! what a fantastic idea!(from flickr)
