Barbara from Florida, United States
I know this place, I recognize it. Although I have only been there through your photos. I admire the windows and colors. Very inviting. She could be adjusting her glasses or it could be the adjusting everyone is making to the change in the climate.
Hey, grab your coat we are going to Judy's for marmalade and toast. You bring the coffee.
Oh my, I am into mischief today.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Oh Lorraine...this is really such a beautiful image. It's got a cinematic quality and feel to it. The colours are so warm and the person visible in the windew just get the imagination asking all sorts of questions.

@bluechameleon: Thanks Blue, that's very kind of you ;)

@Marion: Good Girl Marion, actually the title was bi, that is it addressed both the glasses and the change in weather, and you're a darling :)

marianne from Toulouse, from France, French Polynesia

je vourdrais un grand bol de chocolat chaud !!!et la fameuse marmelade dont vous semblez être si gourmands lol marmelade d'orange, de citron ?
et du pain frais , très croustillant, avec un peu de beurre ...
J ' AI FAIM.......................................
5 Nov 2008 1:26am
@marianne: LOL pourquoi aurais-tu peur ma mignonne, c'est moi qui paie la note, et la fameuse marmelade a été offerte pas Judy voir ci-haut ;)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
The sneaking, prowling, peaking has already been mentioned, I prefer the ghost like image of the woman caused by the reflection.
5 Nov 2008 2:08am
@JoeB: Hey as long as you like something about it...oh and he deal was I send you pumpkins you post a self-portrait (or stick it in 'about' nobody ever checks those...except me) maybe the lawyers weren't clear enough?
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Very, very nice. And summertime, too. But the woman in the window seems distant, detached from it all.
5 Nov 2008 3:07am
@Viewfinder: That's 'cause she is dear...lol plus you can't see the snow, it's below the window, a little sense of trickery can add mystery, don't you think?
@GJC: Thanks very much GJC :)
Janice Thomson from Canada
It's only an hour but sometimes it is hard to adjust - well caught Lorraine.
5 Nov 2008 4:51pm
@Janice Thomson: Hey Janice, I didn't see you lol thanks always my dear friend :)
