What are they looking at?

This is the gate on the studio door. I have no idea what all of them are watching on the other side but they are certainly interested in it..

A Photo a Week Challenge: View from My Front Porch

This is actually the view from my Parents" front porch where I sort of grew up.  I took it from an old "real" photograph and cropped it and changed it to sepia...

and this is the view from my front window now.. I don't have a porch or even outdoor access, so it was taken through my living room window..

When the bridge was lighted for President's day

It is REALLY cold this morning

Three of us opted for living room warmth

while one of us loves his own special box even if it IS really cold.

The orchids I saved from the trash

several years ago are really putting on a show this year.  Even with all the snow and the awesome cold and the wind blowing through the windows, this one has bloomed on two stalks for the past 5 MONTHS!!!!!

This photo was from September 4 of 2014  you can see the green trees still behind the orchid...

and these are from yesterday, snow and all....

it looks like it is good for a while yet!

This one hasn't been blooming quite as long,,,, only about 3 months, but still going.

My orchids shed some leaves

and I got to playing with them. so I stamped and wrote on one of each kind to see how age affects this..
Here's how they looked the day I did it.  I'll follow this up when/if they change in an interesting way.

there is SO little light lately!!!

This was, I swear, the next to last day there was light out there....
I love the way those jade plants I rescued from the building trash room have grown,  Jade is such a gorgeous thing...

No box stays empty for long around here...
