What's the view from your window?

[WilliamPitt]

Mine:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. As of a couple months ago:

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. I can see Russia.

[bluesbassman]

4. Nice Post Moosellini.

:rofl:

[Liberal_in_LA]

70. So you are qualified to be VP of USA

[fizzgig]

3. a basic neighborhood

nothing exciting here

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. Awesome view.

[Aristus]

6. The courtyard of my neighbor's house.

Cul-de-sac's are supposed to embody everything that's wrong with the suburbs. But I love my little "court", as it's called. There are only three houses on it, and an empty lot across the street that the owner wants to keep vacant. So the neighbor's kids and my grandkids have a nice green field to play in.

No pic...

[femmocrat]

7. Winter wonderland!

Sure has been a snowy November.

[AlCzervik]

8. Nice and lucky!

the best thing in my backyard which this window overlooks

[Debi]

Pink foam board wrapped in plastic...

x(

Our windows were damaged by a tornado back in May and our contractor is finally replacing them. (Can't find fault..he's re-roofed the house and replaced the garage so far. The windows are the last thing to repair).

[TZ]

9. right now a few firetrucks...

:scared:

[Debi]

10. oops....

A little early Thanksgiving cooking gone awry?

[TZ]

11. I think a chimney fire...

[TX Screwball]

21. Hey!

How did ya get into my house?

[Ellipsis]

15. A swarm of drumlins...

and recessional moraines... covered with oak, birch, pines ...and critters, like this guy,



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_10eXj0SmIc&feature=related



...sure made me sit up and take notice first time I heard that coming from behind the house.

[Suich]

20. OK, I give up!

What IS that?



:shrug:

[Ellipsis]

23. Glaciation.

Drumlins are other depositional features of glaciers. Drumlins are streamlined asymmetrical hills composed of till. The steep side faces the direction from which the glacier advanced, while the sloping side points in the direction the ice moved.

[Suich]

26. Sorry, I meant the critter howling!

What is it?

[Ellipsis]

27. Duh. A fisher.

They're kinda rare. Cat sized.

[Lucian]

53. I love glacial features.

There's a lot of them here in MN. My old house was located on an esker. :D

[City of Mills]

16. From the summer

There's a canal just outside the window, running between my mill building and the one across the way.

[littlebit]

17. Trees and

more trees. We live in the woods.

[HEyHEY]

18. Until a couple weeks ago....

No pics of where I am now...but my old place

To the East


And west.

[tavalon]

68. I had to look at your profile as that looks so much like the city we were tooling around in

last month. And yes, same city.

I have believed since I fell in love with Seattle 10 years ago, that it was the place I wanted to live the rest of my life. But, while waiting for this election, I started looking into Canada (yes, I can come play. I'm a nurse so I made the number) and Vancouver would definitely be where I would want to be.

[skygazer]

19. Out my front door

And out my bedroom window -

[BrklynLiberal]

33. Wow! Gorgeous..

[wartrace]

40. Yikes! You need to clear the brush out before a fire takes your home!

That is a sure recipe for disaster if the forest goes up in flames.

[grannylib]

22. This is what it looks like in spring; don't have an autumn pic of the back yard...

[madinmaryland]

24. I can see the Obama family's new home from my house!!

:hi:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. cold....

[Lyric]

28. Ice

[yellowdogintexas]

29. my wonderful tree.

[BrklynLiberal]

35. That is beautiful. What kind of tree and how old is it?

[yellowdogintexas]

39. Red Oak, of undetermined age. It was here when the house was built..1961

that much is obvious from the size of the other trees on the lot, which were planted when the house was built. It saves us on A/C in the long hot season here, as it shades the whole house. That photo is dated Dec 2003; we still have green leaves on it right now.

This neighborhood was built in a somewhat wooded area in the early 1960's and there are lovely large trees scattered about which were actually preserved by the builders. My next door neighbors have two lovely old mulberry trees and all the houses across the street have big live oaks.

We liked this house for the extra room upstairs and location but the tree was what made us actually go for it. If we hadn't gotten this one we would have kept looking in this neighborhood, because of the shade factor.

If we weren't so far south, it would be flaming red.

[BrklynLiberal]

43. It is magnificent...and it was really wonderful of the builders to leave some of the trees.

Nowadays, it seems the first thing they do is cut down all the foliage and trees on any lot where they are building.
Someone bought this old 1920's house two doors from me. there were three beautiful old trees in front of it. There were always squirrels and birds all over them. The first thing the new owners did - before tearing down the entire lovely house!!- was take down the trees and put them into these three wood chipper trucks that came by to do the job. I was actually in tears, as were several of the other neighbors who saw what was going on.

The word around is that idiot plans on building a McMansion on this lot. The house that was there was so lovely. It only took up about 2/3 of the lot. This guy, I am sure, plans to fill the entire lot with this house. I think the neighbors are trying to start some sort of lawsuit, because what he is planning is not totally within code.

[TX Screwball]

30. Not out, but toward my window...

....GIANT CAT!

[hippywife]

31. Thankfully

it's lots of dark through which I can make out the hen house. :hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

32. I live in Brooklyn near the Verrazano Bridge - next to the water

Daytime


Nighttime

[rockymountaindem]

34. So you live by Northeastern, then?

The view outside my window is a tree, and the building across the street. It's a nice big tree and a cool old building though, so it's really quite a good view.

[Angleae]

36. I get a view of the back side of Pep-Boys.

[Bertha Venation]

37. Before me, holly trees and the sun. To my right, my driveway and the road and

my neighbor's house.

I'm in the office; it is on the southeast corner of our house.

[laylah]

38. Mine, unfortunately, is of

many dead vehicles, weeds, and trash. The neighbors just don't have a clue and the "powers that be" don't give a damn. :mad:

[livetohike]

41. View from our dining room

Where I will soon be setting the table for Thanksgiving Day dinner:

[Tripper11]

42. Here's mine....

Looking west from the Renton Highlands, Seatac Airport is over that hill where the sun is setting, you can see the tower in the distance. To the north is Seattle...this was taken last night.

[BrklynLiberal]

44. wow!

[JeffR]

45. The front porch:

[Gonzo Gardener]

46. West over Sawmill Creek...

past the big red barn & the Macedonia Baptist Church... take a left on the first gravel road past the second corn field on your right. Welcome to NE Hendricks County, Indiana! :D

[ProfessorGAC]

48. Lots Better Than Mine, Will

My rec room is in the basement, and we've got that prismatic stuff on the one window down here. So, my view is of the rec room! That's it!

49. There's a giant doing cartwheels

Statue wearing high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listening to Buck Owens
Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door!

[fortyfeetunder]

50. it's dark outside...good enough? n/t

52. Starting 2009 it will be this

[NewJeffCT]

54. Weather permitting, I tend to see

suburban homes, lots of kids and a handful of MILFs.

[machI]

55. This morning was the stray cat

Not really a stray anymore. Fed it a couple of times, now it comes around twice a day to eat.

[Capn Sunshine]

56. My oldest puppy on the deck

He's really fond of the spa

[Road Scholar]

57. How's this? Pilot Mtn. from Fancy Gap VA.

[tismyself]

58. Fancy Gap!

Fancy Gap, Groundhog Mtn, Meadows of Dan, Floyd... that area has always been home in my heart.

I am in dire need of a good breakfast with county ham and stone ground grits over at Mabry Mill. With red eye gravy.

[Road Scholar]

62. Oh my, one of my favorite places in the whole world. We have a

little place on the side of a mountain at Cascade resort overlooking the northern foothills of NC. Mabry Mills the only place to have breakfast besides my back deck of course.:toast: :toast: :toast:

[tismyself]

65. Cheers to you too!

I've thought for years about buying a little chunk of land up there. Almost bought a farm that was next door to the old Reynolds farm, prettiest piece of land I've still ever seen.

But back then, it was affordable, my gosh I can't believe how the amount per acre has increased around there. I wish I had not lost my nerve then.

Well, I am envious of you! Maybe one day we can have breakfast over at the Mill. Have they closed up for the winter yet?

[Road Scholar]

66. Maybe we can. That would be nice. I think they're still open. The

Parkway is open, but after thanksgiving, I think Mabry closes.:hi:

[swag]

59. Andrew Sullivan's Buttcrack

[old mark]

60. If the shade were up, I could see a very old graveyard,

mostly 19th century, with old twisted trees and bushes. It is on a hill across the street, and almost directly level with my 2nd floor home office window. There is an old concrete stairway fron the street level to the top of the hill, with a wrought iron gate at the top.

Kind of relaxing, in its way, and they don't make noise or use parking spaces....
At least not that I know of.

[MorningGlow]

61. My neighbor's houses

All more attractive than our renovations-in-progress money pit. So I don't like looking out the window--I get jealous. :P

[Midlodemocrat]

63. The house across the street.

[bikebloke]

64. A few minutes ago

A quick shot from the hip. And not the least artistic.

[gblady]

67. from my living room window....

looking out over Puget Sound toward Seattle...















It is truly paradise! So many mornings, I grab the camera, it's so spectacular.

[Orsino]

69. Kitchen windows.

This was the view that sold me on the new house:

[u4ic]

71. How about the view toward my window?

This is our "guard bunny". We have a few wild hares around here, and this one just loves to sit in a small indent on the front lawn and sun itself (though that day wasn't sunny at all). It doesn't flinch while watching the world go by.

[AggieGal]

72. The view from my sunroom.

Ducks on my patio. This was taken about a month or so ago.


Here is a squirrel in the tree that provides shade to my patio.
