On second glance...

Here's what I saw yesterday in Apartment Eye-Spy:

          

Easy, you say?  I can't stump you.  

Ok, so humor the rest of us, let's see what I spied...

It's the simple things... : An Apartment Eye-Spy

True, happiness can't come from found objects, man-made things, stuff.  

Still, sometimes the littlest trifles of things 

- tarnished trinkets or treasure -

- the texture of old glass - 

- smells of faraway places that may linger in an object  - 

make me smile. 

And that's reason enough to keep them around.  

A game of Eye-Spy reminds me that they're there...

Here's what I spy with my little eye...

At first, just a peek!

Come back tomorrow to take a step back, get a better look, and find out what it is I spy!

Bright and Early: Apartment Eye-Spy

Good morning!  Welcome welcome, come on in.  Glad you stopped by!  Oh I see you have your cup of tea [coffee, smoothie, juice, water] in hand.  I think I'll join you...just one moment while I put on the pot...
Ah, that's better.  Sigh.  

So you were curious about my Eye-Spy, eh?  Well, go on, take another quick look-see.

Here's what I saw yesterday in Apartment Eye-Spy:

 

...

Here's a tiny hint:  you've actually seen all of these things before.  

Guessed, yet?  Still stumped, perhaps?  Ok, now step back with me, have a better look, and find out...

Drizzle Drip Go the Raindrops

I wait with longing for cloud-break. Damp and musty, the walls are swollen and seem to press in as if they're listening for a whispered secret. Hush, go ahead.

Here's an Apartment Eye-Spy while we wait for the sun to grace us with its presence again. (UPDATE: It's 9 am and there's a soft glow about the trees - I daresay, the sun may be rubbing its eyes and leaving the pillowy clouds after all...or not.)
