half an oval

Sitting in an outdoor eating area, next to bubbling fountains, my eye was drawn to beauty. 
I stayed involved with our table conversation as I slowly fell in love with my view.

It was as if the iron work became clearer as I studied it and the pattern seemed so lovely to my 
eyes. I think the longer we look, the more beauty we see in an object (usually.) 
I began to realize that this was an arch, yes, but it wasn't half a circle, it was half an oval.
This view has a car in it and I used bluer tones to primp it in my edit program.

A wonderful lunch with friends, made all the better for conversation with a view!

  1. That is a beautiful view indeed. And a beautiful iron arch. I also like the stonework. We are getting heavy rains here today and tomorrow - up to 8 inches! The wells should be good and full for the summer. Blessings, Pam

  2. What nice focal point in the stone fence. I would have been looking through it too during lunch.

  3. It IS a beautiful view... and lunch with friends along with the view, perfection.

    LOVE the photos of the grand-angels!! Oh, they are so sweet. And, I'll be looking forward to hearing of some of the cooking and knitting in your group next year. Your end-of-year luncheon looked wonderful. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Dotsie. blessings ~ tanna

  10. The green beyond the half-oval is also very green! A very pretty area, I'd say, and a lovely view.
