I didn’t think I had anything to share for today’s Photo Friday “Translucent” prompt, but as I scrolled through my archives I found a picture I took a short time ago which I thought would work quite well. It’s the view through a privacy window on the side of our house, where the ivy has been slowly taking over and has now apparently decided to start making its way across the glass.
Photo Friday – Translucent
I suppose we really should get out there and tame it – at least where it’s covering the window – but there’s something so lovely about catching an unexpected glimpse of life outside whenever I use the stairs that I hesitate to take action. (I’ll probably feel differently as the leaves start to fall, however – a bare vine won’t be particularly inspiring to look at!)
As for happiness… well, I woke up this morning in a fairly grumpy mood after a poor sleep last night, but decided to do my best to reclaim the day by starting off with something I consider to be an instant happiness-maker: a shot of Nutella! I normally drink my coffee black, but felt instinctively that this morning’s state of mind called for the addition of some heated milk and a tablespoon of that sweet, creamy, chocolate-hazelnut goodness.

I like the way the ivy forms the diagonal!

Yaay for beautiful, translucent pictures, and yaay for Nutella! Love both those things. I think it is really neat that you are doing a Happy Series. What a neat idea! Thanks for the boost in the middle of my day! Just thinking about Nutella makes me happy. 🙂

It is funny how everyone loves nutella, I haven’t developed a taste for it and I’m thinking that might be a good thing..

I’m normally someone who prefers salty rather than sweet, but sometimes a taste of Nutella is lovely. 🙂
