How creative could you be with this view?

It's easy to settle into the lull of minutia and forget about those truly breathtaking moments that seem to only appear during vacations and other "special" moments. This week brought a reminder, though, which has kept the adage, "Don't forget to smell the roses" a little closer to the forefront of my mind ever since.
Having left the office where I work part-time, and driven the 5 minutes to meet with a client in her home, I was welcomed by this view as I entered the front door. Not kidding. The back wall was an expanse of window that featured the fine art of nature rather than a painter's canvas.
After we finished our business, how lucky was I that we meandered down to her studio for a while, then back up onto the deck where we sat and gabbed for maybe a half hour, with this scene before us? The meeting was stellar, the conversation spectacular, and the view...well, here you have it. I couldn't help but think how such a sight would be the perfect backdrop for a creative day's work. It certainly enhanced our delightful conversation.
May all our workdays bring us more of these "little" gems...

Gosh! I could look at that view for a really long time!
Yes, I need to become friends with this woman and then sponge off her view. Introduce me?? ;)
And all on a lovely autumn day! What a setting!
