1st floor window facing. Right now direct sunlight does not stream into these windows until after 1PM and the direct sun stops coming in around 5:30PM. And each day less and less direct light. The second floor windows, directly above these windows, gets direct sunlight for at least 3 additional hours because the houses across the street do not block the sun like they do to the 1st floor. And that design, setup, was done on purpose by architects back in 1890, not just for uniformity. No house should be able to block the sun unequally from others. So when people add a 3rd Floor to their homes they are giving the middle finger to everyone else and saying “I can do what I want.” In image, which has been brightened, left to right plants; - Bamboo (in water) - Monstera (in water) - Waffle Plant “Exotica” - Wax Begonia - Snake Plant - Succulent Bowl (using old ceiling fan light glass cover.) - Echeveria “Dark Moon” - Mini skeletal guard dog. Barks & has glowing red eyes. - Snake Plant “Black Jade” - Purple Heart “Purpurea” (in water) - Pearl & Jade Pathos (in water)

    I am in rare form today…. That plant behind your succulent dish looked like a deer peeking in the window.

    That is interesting about 1800s architecture plan…just shows how much humans have changed. I live my a lot of lakes ( unfortunately not on one). I always feel bad for current homes are blocked from seeing the Grand Traverse Bay by mini mansions that are built directly in front of them. Especially if the new owners are seasonal people hardly around. Lol
