Out of our window

I am loving all the mature trees and shrubberies that abound in our neighborhood.  Although our apartment only just this weekend got its first plant (first of many, in our plans), I've been enjoying the greenery just out our windows ever since we moved in.

Just down the street from our apartment is the neighborhood mosque.  It's a rather unassuming building at street level, but the minaret that ascends above the trees is pretty.

And at night, the mosque is lit up with green neon, making another interesting view!  :-)

Along with the view, we also get to listen to the melodious call to prayer several times a day, if we're quiet at the right moments.  It lends a delightful, gentle, and distinctly islamic feel to our sleepy neighborhood.
