the word for Sunday 29.11.09 is Window

Todays word is WINDOW. I am ill again today...this virus just doesn't seem to want to leave me. So for once l have to use an image from another day..sorry!!! I thought ok..openings with or without glass. Could be in a house, church, outhouse, car, train, bus, aeroplane, doll's houses and so on! So it is a window and that sounds so boring...how could l make it interesting..the window into your soul maybe..or the television is the window into the world? A window of oppurtunity? um!
Anyway after much thinking between rushing to the loo for one end or other (sorry about the image you must have in your mind now!!oops!). Anyway, l decide to go for a window but an old one in an old building with a thatched roof. Admittedly not a well kept thatched cottage but we are only after a window!!

  1. what a totally lovely image! And to me, a window is incredibly evocative. I look forward to seeing more on your site just as soon as I recover from nanowrimo!

  2. thank you for coming by my blog and leaving a comment. How interesting-- you take an image and then brainstorm ideas, words, definitions and so on about the image-- when I start a new series of paintings on a theme I make lists of words and phrases as well to get me started.
