Some More Spring Color

I like the contrast here between the rock and flower.

I can see a Tiffany style leaded window in this one.

And maybe this one, I do leaded glasswork as part of my trade so I keep my eyes open.

You do leaded glaswork? cool. I always wanted to learn how. I had an idea once, to use leaded glass windows with custom designs as the middle pane in triple pain windows. It would give you the high-e efficiency with artistic wow. But the hard part would be finding a manufacturer of triple pane windows to work with you.

Goat, you must be looking forward to Spring. We're having a glorious Autumn (Fall) here in Australia. The skies are beautiful, clear blue. The mornings are crisp and the days are warm and breezy. After a very cool Winter (despite all the ranting about GW) this Autumn has been superb.
Your flowers are gorgeous. Enjoy.

I think it's finally here, 3 or 4 weeks late.

Ron I make triple glazed windows like you describe, the only hard part is getting everything perfectly clean before you seal them up.
Thanks Aurora, they sure make a drive in the country nice.
Jungle Mom, yes they were taken by me, I have hundreds of pictures of wildflowers waiting to be scanned in but since I don't have a scanner that will be a while.

I knew I had a good idea. It never fails. I have a good idea that is already being done somewhere else.

get a digital camera. they dont need to be scanned, just uploaded.

Ron I have hundreds on 35 mil before I got my current digital camera. A couple of these were taken with my rugged old Canon 35 mil compact and I do miss it, stolen. So far I am very happy with my Kodak digital though it has been a steep learning curve considering I learned photography manually setting light meters and exposure length on my dad's old Minolta.
The basic problem with triple glazing is room to fit a unit as thick as most window or door frames. A triple glazed window with leaded glass is 1" or more in thickness so the rabbit has to fit it with weather and security concerns.
