See a Good View

A place where you can
see a good view
is also a good place
to sit and dream.

A mourning dove is taking in the view on our roof top. I cannot believe it has already been two years since we had our roof replaced at the cost of $40,000...dry rot repair was at an additional cost. Our original wood shingle roof had more leaks than you could count. This roof does come with a 50 year guarantee though we won't be here that long. :)

Maybe we could have gotten a beautiful thatched roof for less but I think they cost even more!

It must feel good with that new roof, though! So important. Thatch is picturesque but a heap of maintenance!

Lovely lines in this composition, and great scale with the bird. Roofing -- so important but so frustrating to see all that money going into something that is simply 'there'.

This one looks fire proof as well. Our sky is yellow today and we have ash all over the yard. Fires are still a good distance away. Stay safe.

@shutterbug49 My husband parks his vehicle outside and he said it was covered in ash this morning...the air smells smokey and heavy too! Terrible days of heat, wind, lightening and thunder...strange weather and prime for fires.

Glad you got a good solid roof. They are pricey here, too. Hoping you stay safe from the fire.

Nice memory shot of your roof. Amazing how fast time flies, eh?

I’ve never heard of that type of roof... lovely lines and title.

great shot, I like the composition that has been created, roof, sky, clouds and the dove is the extra touch

Well done. Keep safe.

I posted my photo for the day then went to review the others in my feed. Imagine my surprise to see you posted a view of the sky over your roof too. So coincidental!! TWINS!! https://365project.org/yogiw/2020/2020-08-19
