Here are some of the things I see from my deck on different days---depending on the weather and the smog.......Sometimes what I can see truly astonishes me......All of these pictures are facing West, towards the Pacific Ocean. You can see my favorite trees there on the hill.......
The sky looks unreal......painted....like a backdrop in a movie or something.
It always astounds me the way the weather effects my view....Sunsets can be breathtaking, beyond words......
It looks unreal, doesn't it? But....that is how it actually looked......(You can see all the pictures bigger by clicking on them and then clicking, again.......) These pictures remind me how fantastic nature is and how lucky I am to see this beautiful ever-changing 'Sunset Show' up here on my hill......More To Come.......
Note: For those who believe, Mercury is Retrograde and I have had a lot of problems with my computer, my phone, my printer---you name it!.....They say one should just go to bed and not do anything during a Mercury Retrograde. I think that is good advice!

A very beautiful way to start and to end a day....the beauty at the beginning gives you strength to get through whatever the day has in store and the beauty at the end soothes the soul and gives peace for the evening. Thanks for sharing.

I love photos of the sky--it's ever changing, isn't it. And for your electronic disruption, don't forget the solar flares!!

That last one is jaw dropping. We are looking at 4 days of rain so I will have to come here to see the sun. Thanks.
So far, neither Mercury nor the solar flares have done anything to my electronics. Toes are crossed.- Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 12:12:00 PM PST

I especially love the sunset picture. I've always been fond of those pictures because I love the black of the foreground juxtaposed against the vivid colors of the sunset. So beautiful!

I love looking at sunset and sunrise photos – of course I like to see them in real too but here we have too many pine trees to see the sunset and I get up too late to see the sunrise…. I used to look at a blog where he posted from the same place on his balcony a picture of the sky at different times of the day – every picture was different – even after a hundred or so. Do you still paint? Wouldn’t the sunset colors give you inspiration?

I especially love the way the clouds encase the sun burst in the second one. It feels so good to know those views firsthand. Feels like a dream we had together.

Good morning, Naomi!!!!
My spouse's family will not sign any contracts during retrograde. They have had this custom since about 1976. They all take it very seriously. If they are closing on a house, they wait. Buying plane tickets, they wait. I suspected you were having issues as I could not post on the peacocks, though I tried 3 different times. That blue is the most dazzling blue.
Love these views.
We are going to Italy in May for 2 weeks. Good Lord, there is so much info, so many books to read, and so much planning to do. If you would like a little something, let me know. We are hitting Venice, Florence, Siena, Cinque Terra, and Rome.
All for now. Spring flowers are in full bloom here in Arizona, though it is not the best showing due to lack of rain.
Much love,
Stan

such magnificently beautiful photos, naomi - bur moreover, such a magnificently beautiful universe show you have there! incredibly wonderful! having access to such natural beauty cannot help but impact one physically and mentally, i think - all for the better - the wonder of it all - good for you - you certainly picked the perfect setting when you chose your home!
and about merc/retro - i follow it very very well, let me tell you! and times when i've not have all resulted in one or more of its little trickster glitches or other -
we've finally begun having a taste of spring here with the daffodils rearing their magnificent little heads and coming out in full bloom - our first spring bloom was a single gorgeous purple crocus - a thing of beauty for sure - and now, the daffodils! i LOVE them so much - just the sight of them lifts my spirits! yesterday i even passed some beautiful fruit trees beginning to bloom! and these little spurts of spring are wonderful but this time of year in louisiana cannot be beat and i miss it so much! everything coming alive in living color!
thanks so much for sharing your living color world, naomi! i always enlarge those images for the full effect! have a wonderful remainder of the day!- Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 11:09:00 AM PST

They are some lovely pictures. You seem to have so much lovely weather, even when there are clouds it manages to look scenic.
I clicked through in the first picture to try to spot Catalina Island, but I guess its a little bit to the left?- Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 3:22:00 AM PDT

What a view, Naomi! One could look at that everyday -- lucky you!
Mercury retro -- oh, yeah -- I believe. Slow computer today, and I fear the work issues as we continue. My friend Jan has an interesting take on it -- she looks at where the sign is that it's retro, then evaluates and prepares for the potential issues that might bring in the groups she facilitates. Hadn't thought of that, but I'm going to experiment with it myself!- Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 8:40:00 AM PDT

And a changing scene too. Imagine what it would be like if one couldn't see the sky. It doesn't bear thinking about.- Monday, March 12, 2012 at 3:02:00 AM PDT

Gorgeous photos, reminds me of the time where we had views, not houses blocking views. It's not quite the same thing.- Monday, March 12, 2012 at 12:12:00 PM PDT

Your photo views are truly spectacular! I see some of those sky colors, but have to zip up the way onto Mt. Baldy Road to get a broader view -- but still not as magnificent as what you see with that tree border and over the ocean.
Have you considered your electronic gadget issues might be associated with the solar flares that have become more prominent? Just askin'?- Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 12:05:00 AM PDT

First time I ever heard of Mercury Retrograde, we were selling our house. Astrologer told us not to make any contracts, but I thought it was nuts. We signed the contract, and the house caught on fire. THAT got my attention! Now I pay attention!
