When it’s cold, I often take pictures of the outside, from the inside.
With my zoom lens and some selective positioning, it is possible to create some interesting compositions. This shrub is actually an odd shape and wouldn’t make great photos standing directly in front of it. But when looking at it from inside, it worked quite well with the warm colours of the house behind it.

Interesting indeed – I thought it was the top part of a flower arrangement by your window! 🙂
I hadn’t thought of it that way… Thanks for sharing a different perspective!
