Our house in Cordes has two windows, one up and one down. Well, that’s not exactly true. There’s also the front door, which has a panel of obscure glass, (just learned that kind of mottled glass is called “obscure”), two bathroom windows, also obscure glass, and a skylight, obscured mostly by dirt since cleaning requires climbing on the roof.
The point is, there are only two windows where you can see out.
For obvious reasons, I started taking pictures out of them the day we moved in. Sometimes I take more than one, sometimes I miss a few days or even weeks because we’re traveling, or it’s dark when I get up, or it’s raining and the view is less inviting.
I don’t keep every picture I take, either. (I probably should have done that, but it’s too late now.)
Most of the time I face directly south, looking out of the windows.
Cordes is shaped like a fish, and we are on its belly, letting us see both the sunrise and the sunset. Sometimes I lean out to catch the sun.
I like the fog that rises from the creek, l’Aurausse.
It’s green in the winter here, but we get hard frosts and once in a while a dusting of snow.
Occasionally it rains enough for the valley to flood.
The trees change color and lose their leaves in the fall.
Rainbows aren’t uncommon.
And the clouds are spectacular!
In the late spring hot air balloons start to come over Cordes.
Our cats appreciate the window sills as much as I do.
Sometimes you get incredible clouds and fog at the same time.
I took screenshots of all these pictures to post them here, so you can’t click on them individually to enlarge them. Too bad.
Maybe I’ll put them all upon Flickr so they’re more accessible.
Or maybe I won’t.
In any case, I’ll keep taking more of them.
Because the extraordinary beauty right out the window never stops amazing me.

You capture the beauty of your home right thru the window! Amazing!Sent from my Galaxy
So special to see all these pictures Eve! Wow! The variety is amazing. How many seasons do these photos represent? I think that I saw one winter picture, but if so, then there are probably other winter pictures… Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. My love to you and Tom and of course to your precious kitty and dog!
The winter ones are hard to tell apart because of that big evergreen tree, but many of the foggy ones were taken in winter, and there are some with a light frost on the fields.
Thanks Eve,
I’ll look at them again and again!
LOVE
it’s all so wonderful!
Thanks, Rosemary.
Thank you for the lovely photos, Eve! I love remembering our time there with you and Tom.
BTW, I was able to enlarge the photos somewhat by clicking on a photo (it got bigger) and then clicking on it again (it got bigger still).
Love,
C
Yes, better than nothing, but not as good as having each one on its own. Glad you liked them! Thinking of you every day!

Looking forward to seeing you and Tom in September:)
