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.

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

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

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 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.

Looking out my window....for the last two days there have been sheets of water falling from the skies thanks to the storm, Andrea. The rains have been very heavy, beating down my flower beds and veggies and causing flash floods. Andrea also brings a fresh smell but the humidity out weights it. I am hoping for a brighter day tomorrow to view out of my window.

Glad you liked the pictures. It was a fun day out and we had great weather too. The heart of the Peak District I find is a great antidote which is why I find myself there at least once or twice a week in the spring/summer. I'm a definite country boy at heart.

My room is on the basement floor and there was a deck built over my little basement window, so I see wood, spider webs, various insects, and dirt. I don't smell or hear anything, because there's no screen on my window so if I opened it the spiders would get in. It makes me feel like I'm buried.

14 curlews circling and shrieking.

10 years ago we were down to just a couple of pairs, the same with the lapwings, but damp summers seem to suit them and there has been a revival.

Mick - have you ever seen a curlews' mating dance? I looked out of my window one spring when I lived in wild West Wales and saw three curlews strutting and prancing around, two males trying to impress a female who was doing a very good nonchalance act. I've never read anything about a courtship dance for curlews so don't know if it is a regular thing: I felt so privileged to have seen it.

I loved seeing flocks of lapwings wheeling in the sky round about January time (winter migrants possibly?) - there would be a sheet of silver in the air that would disappear and reappear as the flock turned about and about. Then part of the flock would peel off and head for a different feeding station.

From the same window I saw a courtship ritual between a pair of marsh harriers: they were passing a stick or some such piece of nesting material between them, tumbling through the air to catch it and pass it on.

Just once I saw a tiny Jack snipe collecting nesting material, a stick nearly as big as himself.

There was not much animal life to be seen though we often had young foxes playing in the field after the silage was cut and we had evidence of visits from badgers but I never actually saw any.

In my present suburban home, I rarely see any bird life though I think there is blackbird's nest somewhere near as Mum and Dad are foraging in the newly dug flower beds. I'm reluctant to start feeding the birds until I get proper feeders or I will just be augmenting the diet of the most common form of animal life round here, the domestic moggy.

Actually your temps in Fahrenheit is about 42 degrees.....not too bad!

Here, outside my window it is 59 Fahrenheit.

My sister lives in Arizona and to her 42 degrees F is freezing!

It is interesting the effects our climates have on our bodies. I have found when it starts to get chilly the more cold air I breath in the better I do with adjusting to the colder temps.

Our fall is late here in Maryland.
Outside my window are tomato plants still holding fruit waiting to ripen...and when they do they are soooooo sweet!

Outside my window right now is darkness with a three quarter moon dropping soft beams which will soon guide me and Zeus on our nightly walk.

The most wonderful things is that the crickets are still here...singing their song! It is not the loud mating call they put out in the Spring but a soft, gentle voice of falling off into a fall's rest. That is a nice, soothing sound.

Thank you for sharing what is outside your window.

is this Portuguese?
outside my windoe is a little bird
all night it sings it sings a song

i looked up the word Aucelon and it came up as :
''Aucelon is a commune in the Drôme department in southeastern France.''

then further down the page:

''The word “aucelon” literally means “little bird” in occitan. This is both an allusion to the famous song “Se Canta” and a metaphor''

This is a very interesting thread!

Right now it's night time.

I can see our lovebirds in the cage. The female's sort of nudging the baby bird while I hear them chirping merrily, which is a bit odd since they are usually quiet this time of the night.
Does smelling my perfume count? :D
All these make me feel calm and makes me realise just how lucky I am to have a home and a loving family--just like the lovebirds in the cage.
And how does it make you feel?

Upon her heaving chest draped in midnight she wears a necklace of sparkles and life that takes your breath away. I am mesmerized by her beauty.

Evening walk with my dog, Zeus.
Absolute spectacular! I can see my breath, fallen fall leaves crackle and crunch under my foot steps and other then that there is only silence and the outstanding view of the evening sky.

I wish I could have taken a picture of it to share...the air so clear and crisp....my neck a bit tired from tilting my head back ~ but to be stuck in the shine of twinkling stars! I would never be able to capture the wow of it.
So the least I can do is share it with You in words and hope your imagination can take you there.

outside my window is darkness...a calm since the winds have stopped.
the trees have dropped their leaves and I have much raking to do!
And my gardens needs attention to put them asleep for Winter.

A season of dying,
A time to plant
to be reborn.
I can not dwell in your death,
only your beginning
which will be blessed
by blankets of snow
and harsh winds.
through this you
will nuzzle and grow.
the miracle of
one life ending
begins the birth
of another.

I love trees and outside my bedroom window is something that's either a bush or a tree, I've never been quite sure, but whichever it is it has provided shade and has been lovely to look at all there years. And it, along with my neighbors tree have both provided me many, many leaves to rake.

You have that much snow in Texas? Where I'm at, it is just cold, about 20 degrees F. (The phone says it's 35 degrees, however.)

Pretty scenery, Gilliat! We have that much snow today! I bet this is our big storm for the winter, though. Too bad. I love a good snow day in February.

Here's what's outside today ( December 6)

About 2 inches of sleet and ice

And your trees still have leaves!

Great images GG! You captured the feeling of cold and nature so well.
Hope you are warm soon.

Outside my window is has been mild for this time of year but that will be changing within the next 48 hours.
It has been dismal with rain and clouds.
I still have leaves to get up off my lawn.
The red maple is beauty in her finest
but leaves much to be desired.

Amazingly, it is all sleet, only we had so much it looks like snow. Earlier, I defrosted the car windows and broke off slabs 2 inches thick !

Windy...temperatures are dropping....outside my window is a great night for viewing twinkling stars!
I luv the night skies! So peaceful yet so full of life.

The winter sky is gray. We like to sleep,
Tend dreams that warm the weather felt within.
The sun sneaks in the peacefulness of dawn
With some more snow to brighten up the street.

The Polar Voltex has subsided for the weekend and you no longer see your breath in front of your nose. All of the snow has turned to mud and I thought I heard a bird singing this morning. Tomorrow it will be warm as my body has become conditioned to temps in the single digits. One thing about the cold is it creates amazing sunsets up on the hill at the dog park.

Outside my window it is snowing and expecting many inches more...but for now it is prefect..


I sit and watch
with still breath
the snow as it covets
the evergreens,
with winter.

the air is crisp
the night is clean
and the crunch of the snow
beneath mine and Z's steps
brings promises.

this night is peace.
there is a certain silence here
that only souls can here.
and I lift my eyes to the sky.

My university's faculty. I can actually spot a teacher working in his office! :D If I am procrastinating or being lazy all I need to do is look out of the window!
