Dawn sun hits the cliffs above the Animas River Valley (and Durango) on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 7 am (looking northwest).

My one plant in the apartment at this point...plus the cuttings which are rooting in water still. The mum had lots of buds which probably wouldn't open, but some nice new leaves gives me hope the plant will at least continue to live! Not sure it gets enough sunlight (6 hours is recommended!)
Here's how it looked when I bought it.
How Thursday looked from my desk. The rolled towel on the windowsill is just to block the bright sun when the blinds are closed on sunny afternoons. I've found a way to prop a few slats open for the mum, unless I'm watching TV. But I'm more interested in blogging and emailing over on the desk...so my coping strategy for the health of the plant and my own eyesight seems to work for now.

Pottery at the Durango Autumn Arts Festival:
Steve decorates beautifully rendered trout (and other critters) on various pieces. He and his wife April are from Dallas TX.
...the art scene in Durango looks great.
ReplyDeleteI'm just dipping my toes into the water so far...
DeleteThe scenery out your window is beautiful, but the picture of sunrise on the mountains is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSome mornings are incredible. It does give me something to get me out of bed!
DeleteI have never thought of mums being something to keep around. We have one house mum and two outside to greet the fall. Inside is yellow and the outside ones area light purple leaning toward pink.
ReplyDeleteI've kept lots of plants over winters, but this year have different exposure on my windows, so we shall see. I'm glad I like the scent of mums.
DeleteI love those wee pottery lamps and the Aspen Tree People!
ReplyDeleteVery tempting to bring home one or both!
DeleteThat photo makes a great header picture.
ReplyDeleteIs the pot you have your mums in one that you made? I just love it. And the mist coming up photos are terrific.
Yes, that's my big cauldron. I've another smaller rainbow one that's packed still. Pottery is so neat in that you can put it outside and it's not damaged (unless you let water sit in it and freeze, thus cracking it...I learned the hard way!)
DeleteThe consensus in our house is that your first photo is a kettle of turkey vultures enjoying those thermals. They are starting to move south now. Marcia in the Desert
ReplyDeleteI would have thought vultures too, but the wingspans are so small. I'll keep watching!
DeleteHello Barb,
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the crows. I do love the views out your window. The trees are starting to look colorful.
Nice collection of pottery! I like your plants too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Thanks Eileen...a bit of a stretch for sharing critters today!
DeleteI love the pottery and you came from an area known for it's pottery so I know you loved this. The clouds down on the mts and the sun on them is stunning. What a view! WOW!
ReplyDeleteI have trouble closing the blinds when there are pretty views all the time! Yes, I did enjoy seeing the pottery!
DeleteThat's a murder of crows! Isn't that the right word? Could be they are buzzards though.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell for sure. But maybe I will be able to use the binoculars the next time I see this happening. My shaky hands make it a bit hard to hold them, but I figured out how to just lean them against the window glass.
DeleteLove the mist on the mountains! And a great shot of the crows or buzzards.
ReplyDeleteWhen there's rain the humidity becomes quite high, a surprise for me. But it does dry out pretty quickly when the sun shines again.
DeleteI feel like we got a bonus with another pottery post! I love the tall, narrow art pieces.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the ever-changing view from your window, too.
A few more photos of pottery from last week's art show.
DeleteSuch a lot of crows, no doubt enjoying the beautiful views in your area!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday
