The window is installed in a south-facing wall in our home's family room! It gets light nearly all day long.

We love it.

...Rose Window. How lucky you are!

Is it a very old window?

However, it's not old.

Our older daughter designed it for our 30th wedding anniversary more than 20 years ago. And we hired a local artisan to create it.

She took a very long time and she did say it was more like making jewelry than like making a stained glass window. It's 3 feet in diameter and there are many small pieces.

Our architect put it in this south-facing wall where the sun shines most of the day, and it's amazing. It's sandwiched between 2 layers of plain clear glass to protect it.

We are very lucky!

Our daughter has considerable artistic talent. She could not escape it; both sides of our families sport artists of various sorts.

For the uninitiated (which included me until about one minute ago), this refers to an Olympia camera with “advanced image stabilization”, which allows sharp clear images without a stabilizing rig (e.g, tripod).

Beautiful window!

That is an excellent description of the feature.

The Olympus people really know how to do this. I have had a few photos come out fuzzy or a bit blurry, but you have to work at it!

If you're having it as a main dish salad, and you're not vegan or vegetarian, a good addition is sliced up ham.

Every now and then I cannot face making a hot dinner, and this is what I do!

It's sort of like that, except the shapes don't move around the way they do in a kaleidoscope.

Even so, it's gorgeous!

back atcha!
