Not so SPEECHLESS SUNDAY: Life Just Outside Your Window!

By
Industry Observer

It's amazing sometimes the exiting things that a view from 16 stories up can bring.

As I sat here this evening I heard loud thunder and walked to my balcony to investigate.  The view of Turtle Creek from my balcony this afternoon looked like this:

But tonight was the annual Light up Lee Park celebration.  I blogged about it last year [Light Up Lee Park] but this year it has been a cold, rainy and damp day, so I assumed the outdoor celebration had been canceled.  Well, I was wrong because here's what I saw when I pulled open the blinds:

Fireworks over Dallas' Turtle Creek

There are days that I think the peacefulness of living out in the country would be nice... but this evening wasn't one of them!  I love a pyrotechnics display!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS... and if you are in Dallas, be sure to take an evening drive by Lee Park (On Turtle Creek Boulevard between Lemmon and Hall Streets).  It looks fantastic all lit up for the holiday season!

It's pretty cool to live where you do, Steve. Love that uptown living but with my son now, I think we'll have to wait until we become empty nesters to enjoy what you do now.

Steve, I didn't even know about this celebration. It does sound noisy even from looking at your pictures.

Kind of cool.

Is this taken from where you live or are you at a conference or something?

That bottom one almost looks like a guy holding the part where all the works are shooting from.

Smokin' hot photos lol.  And thanks for sharing your balcony with us.  I feel like I was almost at home with you today.  Maybe we should have a little contest "what do you see from your balcony/deck/porch, etc.  I've seen Mary Douglas's barbecue piled high with snow a few times. 

Guess I won't see yours with any.  Oh, I guess you probably aren't allowed to grill on your balcony?

Wow Steve, ringside seats without leaving home and from the comfort of your living room.  It doesn't get better that that.

Steve:  What a fantastic view.  And, although the fireworks and all the sparkly stuff is nice, I prefer the day view.  But, then again, these days... I am much more into reveling in the peace and quiet that Mother Nature performing Her miracles can provide.  Thanks for the great show !

I traded the M-Streets of Dallas for a home on the side of a mountain in Jackson Hole about 10 years ago. Here's the evening fireworks show seen from my living room window...
