Rejoicing in My World.
I open the windows summer and winter, because I love the outdoors..
This looks out from my dinning room, to the top side garden and pointsettia's.
Yes, we are in the first month of winter.. and the days are warm, but the nights are starting to get chilly.
We never get it very cold, so have much to be thankful for.
Its hard to believe that I cut back the poinsettia from out back and planted a couple of sticks that have become this! What a beautiful show.
By the time winter is over and summer comes again, this bushy shrub will be even thicker than it is now.
I just had to add some fun... Care for a camel ride along the Sunshine Coast Beach, Queensland - The trip is 75miles long and looks out on the Pacific Ocean.. A white sandy beach stroll. People pitch their tents all along the national parks that look onto this view.
And the camels, when they were imported here to Australia in the 19th century from Arabia, India and Afganistan for transport and heavy work in the outback.
Today over one million ferral camels run free. Camel meat and milk is used in various ways.
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

What a gorgeous view! I love the windows, too...
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I love the windows because you can't see through them when closed. I am an allergy person so keep dust collectors to a minim.
DeleteI am so impressed with all of the photos. Poinsettia grows wild there and I am jealous. I have my Christmas poinsettia sitting on my coffee table right now as I write this. The camels are an amazing sight. I have never heard of this event before nor seen anything like it. It is a wonderful photo. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteHiya Larry, great to see you friend. Those camels are funny. You should see them race. That happens every year here in early November.
DeleteYou have beauty out of your windows! The camels is a gorgeous photo too
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I love where we live!x
DeleteOh wow I will do the same with my next years Poinsettia, and how I would have enjoyed so much watching the camel ride...how incredible is that ...wow ....you have a wonderful place to experience Crystal Mary...and love the windows opened!
ReplyDeleteHello Rhonda, I keep an eye on the open windows at dusk for carpet snakes.. That is my one terror.
DeletePoinsettias that are so tall, your lovely open windows and the camels on the beach, Thank you for sharing these. Your climate sounds temperate, with mild winters, like where I love in California. We are blessed aren't we? I attended camel races in Jordan, in the Middle East, so that is my camel connection.
ReplyDeleteHello Terra, yes, we are indeed blessed.. Californians eat many similar foods to us also.. I have been there, now you need to come here.. x
DeleteLove your windows. Here, in the winter, I never open the windows for more than an hour. Snow and cold are ot fun in the house. Let it stay outside. That poinsettias? Great! This are our Christmas plants ;-) ( only in December on the table )
ReplyDeleteHi mate, I'm glad your home gets at least that hour of fresh O2, it is so important for our health. Hugs
DeleteDear Crystal, sorry to have been away but I've been a little under the weather. I so enjoyed this posting. The view from your window is lovely. Here in the mid-west of the United States we just have poinsettias at Christmas time and they are in pots. You have actual shrubs. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd that came photograph is evocative of peace and serenity. Thank you for sharing it.
Peace.
Bless you for your visit Dee..so sorry you haven't been feeling well.
DeleteA big hug from me to you. x
Hi Crystal, My Grandfather had Pointsettias in his garden in SanDiego...Lovely!
ReplyDeleteA Camel Driver named Hi Jolly (Hadji Ali)was famous for being part of an experiment using Camels for the U.S. Army here in the Desert Southwest.
i threatened Hub-bee that i want a Camel if don't get a dunebuggy soon;))
What an Awesome sight on the beach...
....it reminds me of the Wise mens Caravan....going to see Jesus.
*Blessings
Hello Kare, I don't think I have been to San Diego? But I do love that part of the world. The beach is so great to drive along. People camp on it towards the dunes...just far enough from the rising tides..
DeleteWhat glorious poinsettias! They do very well in our climate, too, and I always love to see them grown full and stetching forth to the heavens. The camels were a wondrous thing. To take a trip on a beach on one would be utterly amazing. Pray you are doing well my friend- hugs and love to you~
ReplyDeleteHello Shelley, Thank you, I am picking up. Gods love soaks me and sustains.. Hug to you friend.
DeleteI enjoyed a glimpse into your beautiful world ~ and glad we have eternity to share the details (: xo
ReplyDeleteAmen to that sweet Susy. x
DeleteOh my, what glorious sights from your window. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt makes my day.. x
DeleteI am impressed with all your photos today - the view from your window is just stunning. I can't believe you get to see that every day. And the camels - that was beautiful just beautiful. Winter time - that is funny. sandie
ReplyDeleteWe have too many bugs here to leave our windows open!
DeleteHa Ha Ha... Let the bugs in... our little dogs love to eat them. Ray hunts grasshoppers for their treat... You should see the size of our Christmas beetles! The are a hazel colour with multiple other shades like something iridescent.
DeleteHI Sandie, I couldn't comment under yours???? It is funny that we are in different seasons... incredible.
DeleteWoW...that poinsettia is hugh...the only ones we see here in Texas are
ReplyDeletepot plants at Christmas. I did plant one in my flower bed one year and it grew to be about 4ft and NO blooms!
Hello Mary, Yes you do have to get the right place to grow them. We get both the sun and the rains... Hug to you
DeleteI love your kitchen view! The curtains with the flowers in the background are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat camel ride looks like so much fun. :)
