The best thing about this move to the new building is that I now have a large, lovely window to look out of--a window that faces outside, rather than into boring building. My desk is in the corner, so on the right, there is window, and on the left, there is wall (and a white board, but who's counting?).
Directly outside the window is parking lot, but not for too long--there's a stretch of grass between us and the street, and in that stretch of grass, there are several tall trees. The wind today causes the trees to move and, in the late afternoon sun, the movement of the leaves draws a pattern of dancing shadows across the wall.
When I look over, there is the piece of stained glass I bought while at Faire this season. It's a sea-and-landscape, with the hills in shades of purple and green, and the water below in a lovely varied piece that goes from pale blue to teal to dark blue. Above is an opaque white piece that has enough variation in color to look like clouds. With the sun shining through it, it truly does look like an afternoon on the water, looking toward land.
Sometimes, it's the simple things.
