More from my kitchen window...

From the window above our kitchen sink, I have a great view of the traffic on our street and the suuq (shopping area) at the end of our street.  I can watch life in our Middle Eastern town and observe many things.  Here are a few...

Yes, that is a heard of sheep with their shepard crossing our busy midtown street, as they do many days!

After those palm trees they'll take a right at the next road and graze up the hill.

We also have a great seats for parades!

Not a day goes by that we don't see someone sitting on top of a car celebrating something...i.e.  weddings, graduations, special holidays, soccer games.  Hanging out windows is very big here!

From My Kitchen Window

We moved recently to a different apartment in our Middle Eastern city.  One of Mom's favorite things in the new place is the window above the kitchen sink, because we can look out over the street below while we stand there washing dishes (which is OFTEN).  We can watch cars coming and going down the street, see people walking around outside their apartments, and watch the birds outside our windows.  Mom has taken to leaving the camera in the kitchen cabinet so she can snap a picture, now and then, to share with you the world from our kitchen window.

One of Mom's summer highlights would have to be the hummingbird feeder her sweet friend loaned her.  Although we don't have hummingbirds here, we do have the sweetest little Palestinian Sunbirds here.  (Thanks, Yu, for telling me what these are!)

Am I beautiful?  God made me!

They can hover like a hummingbird, but they usually perch to eat.

There's a line at this restaurant!

Am I too late for lunch?

Mom especially likes these iridescent blue and turquoise ones!

You can see her "straw" tongue sticking out.

Pretty Boy!

She looks like she's talking to someone.
