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.
And hannah....how does this make you feel?Quote:

perhaps calling for mates

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.Quote:

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.
Thanks:) What are your favourite flowers?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
It`s 13:45 now. I am sitting in fron of my computer writting this post. It`s quite gloomy today. No sun only clouds. Possibly it`s going to rain soon. I am listening to music (soundtrack from "Game of the thrones"). I am smelling my tea. Now the sun has just came out. It`s becoming more and more warm and pleasant.
outside my window
is a sunny gringo
wearing a harp
and singing a rap
haha sorry I could not help. :D
actually outside my window is quiet few parked cars and trees of course. not an enchanting view by all means. the best views are on the other side of the house facing north.... I think :)
Maybe the greengo is in the north side. LOL
Facing west to make the sunsets clear
my window shows a heron standing there
among wild ducks who also like the pond.
The street could fill with cars that buzz along.
The air is fresh. The sidewalk is a tease
since anywhere I'd want to go I'd walk.
There's concerts in the park downtown each week.
Botanic gardens aren't that far away
nor are the restaurants, stores or library.
It's not their fault my mind won't stay awake.
LOL good point :DQuote:

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.

In Poland because of very heavy rains a lot of people even lost their houses but not in the part of the country where I live.Quote:

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.
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.
*cough* Not to bring down the mood or anything.
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.Quote:

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.

Many awesome things...the songs of crickets....the silence of night....the slice of moon with Venus on it's upper crest.
My seasons here are moving into fall....what are your seasons doing and what will you see/hear outside your window?
moving to winter! 6 degree Celsius today.
Pretty colored falling leaves. I love autumn.
