Lovely photo! I really like your glass sunroom. Is it heated and/or
cooled? My grandparents in Ohio turned their old front porch into a sunroom
but they never bothered to heat it (they didn't have A/C) so it was pretty
much not in use in the the cold months.

Mornin' Jill,

Thanks, but it's not glass, rather a screened porch which makes it a
very seasonal place to be, unfortunately.

That doesn't explain why I'm awake at such an ungodly hour. Rather a
couple cocktails, good music and an unbelievably comfortable wicker
chair and presto, I've woken up on the porch.

Wow! That's some fine mesh screening; I can't even see it!

LOL Sounds like a good reason to fall asleep on the porch!

That's because the picture was shot from low light (indoors) to bright
light (outdoors,which is why the flash didn't activate) so the camera
focused at distant objects outdoors rather than nearer objects, had the
flash activated the screen would have obviated the outdoors ... fairly
low resolution camera too. This is one of the most common mistakes,
shooting people/objects indoors while pointing at an open window during
daylight... the brightest light source in the composition is what most
affects the auto focus... of course pointing at a glass window or any
shiney/reflective surface during low light will strike the flash back
into the lens, again ruining the shot. Good rule of thumb, never shoot
at/through glass windows... for indoor shots draw the drapes, for
outdoor shots open the window or step outdoors.
