    What Is Outside Your Window?

    What is outside Your window?

    What do you see?

    Tell us as we each see something different and it changes every day.

    Open the window or even better step outdoors.

    What do you see?
    What do you hear?
    What do you smell?

    And how does it make you feel?

    1) I see my garden.
    2) I hear the birds singing and sometimes a driving car.
    3) I smell my flowers.

    My tired eyes view an azure sky
    as I crack open the window
    to hear birds chirping
    announcing the morning light
    or
    perhaps calling for mates
    as spring is in the air.

    it makes me feel renewed
    and believing in life
    if even for a short time
    between the glow of the morning blue
    and the bird's breath of living
    it will give me hope.

    I am allergic to many of my flowers But singing birds make me quite relaxed. I like working at home looking from time to time through my window.

    Black is outside my window.
    The rain drenches the earth.
    Wet honey suckles
    Excite my senses.
    Andrea kisses me
    Moving my hair softly.

    A garden,
    A track,
    A wooded valley falling away,
    Every conceivable shade of green.
    ay up

    I see a very small garden, with three bins (one overflowing with bottles of Cumberland Ale and milk containers) which are only being collected every two weeks now due to council cut-backs, and the new nesbit neighbours hot dog van overhanging the privet. I can hear nothing right now because it is late, but in the day you can hear people shouting and annoying kids. On the weekends you can hear electric mowers and jingly ice cream vans and sometimes, briefly thank heaven, 'gangsta rap,' as the dear fellow two doors down washes his car. I can smell the bin because of council cut-backs... It makes me feel that, although it is not the very worst place to live around here, that in a few years time our new house and surroundings might be more in-keeping with the manner in which we are accustomed to believe that we deserve, as members of the new rising middle classes, when we will then move next door to Mr and Mrs Jones and be able to appreciate their neat symmetrical hedge and regularly washed red BMW.

    I see eight rail cars and one orange track mobile. Beyond the rail cars I can see several trees and a cloudy blue sky. I makes me feel pretty ambivalent to be spending saturday morning at work.

    Much better views today from the top of Win Hill, Ladybower:

    Off to Edale tomorrow for the country day:

    That is to say if you don't like the views from your front window, you can easily change them!

    My window shows an urban paradise
    I take for granted while my mind daydreams
    and while the sun shines on the grass and trees
    and lilac flowers, swans and man-made pond,
    I'm busy with odd thoughts that cancel things.

    What do you see?
    It is late twilight at the moment. I turned on the porch light and see myriad of bugs drawn to it, some hit my face.
    I see a crack in the concrete patio due to heaving from excessive clay in the subgrade.
    I can still see the outline of the greenbelt forest that runs through the creek.

    What do you hear?
    I hear the chorus of crickets or other such insects that rub legs and wings together.
    Ah...there, a squirrel scampering through the trees making it's way home for the night.
    The water in the creek tumbling over rocks.

    What do you smell?
    That smell that dogs emit for a few hours after they've been bathed. She was standing near me.

    And how does it make you feel?
    Just fine for a June evening in Texas.
