J-rap Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Since we're all stuck in our homes far more than we're used to, I thought it might be fun to see what others see everyday from a window of their home. Here's a view from one of our windows. (There's usually quite a bit of green out there, but not till May.) 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 My neighbors’ patios 🙂 so can’t post a picture as it would be too identifiable. We have a good view of UPS, DHL, FedEx, Amazon Prime, OnTrac trucks parked in my condo complex open air parking from our patio. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Any window I look out of shows trees. Through some of the front windows, I can see down the driveway (between trees) and see the house across the street. The only two windows on one side of the house gives some exposure to the house next door, so we almost never open those curtains. We used to be able to see the mountain opposite ours from our master bedroom’s sliding glass door, but the trees have grown too tall, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 The tree limbs that are snapping and falling in our yard and across the road in the snowstorm. It sounds like gunshots outside. It’s going to be a long night. 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've weighted it for smaller birds only - the stellar's jays would take what they wanted, and leave the rest on the ground. now I have finches and chickadees - and they can empty two feeders full of sunflower seeds in <two days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambam Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I look over the back porch and back yard. Our property extends past the fence over the top of the hill. The second (not very clear) picture is just behind the fence. I planted wildflowers there many years ago. I don't mow until they have gone to seed (probably annoys my neighbors)! These are mostly Indian Paintbrushes. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) With telecommuting from home, I have been sitting outside for a lot of meetings online and it is killing me to not be able to go in the pool yet! It has been pretty chilly outside and the pool is still very, very cold. I did stick my feet in the one day it warmed up enough to allow me to do it.

kiwik Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 When I moved here the view out of the lounge window was the clothes line I cut that down so now I have a view of - the neighbour's garage. Actually I quite like it as it is long and low, white stucco with a brown tile roof and behind it down the street is an enormous tree. If I look from the right angle it feels almost rural. If you look from the wrong angle you can see the main hospital and a bunch of houses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
