a moment of beautiful – through a stained glass window

the space: the big maple outside our front door

the beautiful: seeing a squirrel in the tree through the stained glass window in our stairwell

~

As I was working at my desk, my husband called to me.  Through our stained glass window, he could see a silhouette of our grey squirrel.  I’m glad the squirrel waited long enough for me to snap his picture!

Can you see the squirrel through the stained glass?

    • Hi Barbara. Yes, you’ve described his position perfectly! Now that I know what to look for, I see him almost every day, chattering at the birds in the feeder. The window is one I made years ago after taking a class in stained glass. Jane

    • Hi Stan. Seen through the stained glass, it could be any figure … the magic of the view! Jane
