    The shadows fall over all the flora in your home. The sun is strong for SEA, and you capture every bit of available solar energy when it is there. So nice!

    Never mind the shadow shots (excellent as they are) .... I am still laughing at your header (he's not a popular man over here!) and that first quote ..... I enjoyed algebra all those years ago at school - maybe I missed my calling as a remedial algebra teacher (and the office I worked in very many years ago did indeed have someone who regularly cleaned the phones!!)
    Hope you are having a great weekend, Anne

    Back again! That's the most traffic I've seen on Montana,Hwy2 in that area too. There was road work going on, so it piled up. Honestly, for the 3hr. trip to Kalispell there are only 2 towns where cell phones get reception!!

    Beautiful, mellow light in your world! The shadowy wall in the first photo could almost be the entrance to an intimate art gallery! And love all your different versions of that window ledge! Just noticed all the candles in your home! Wonderful for atmosphere!
