What do you see when you look out your front window?

I see a huge field. I also see, occasionally, coyotes, prairie dogs, wild turkeys, quail, and antelope.

Damn, I love it.

Nice! But not nearly as nice as yer view.

I really like the lighting and decorations of Halloween!

mountain coming in from the other side meeting to a point it's all framed by cedar trees. then off in the distance another mountain blocks the rest of the ocean so it loks like I am looking at a lake.

Sounds spectacular!

As I live in a medium sized metro area, I see a big ol' tree and the street. "Going Up the Country" Remember that old tune by Canned Heat? Oops, showing that I'm old again. lol. GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!

Good stuff.

City sights can be very interesting. I'm hoping to get some vicarious views from there!

butt load of squirrels running around.

Surrounded by evergreens, with mountains behind it.
:)
I got lucky apartment hunting recently.

Thanks for asking!

Lucky you!

Thanks for reminding me.

You must live in my neck of the woods.
Same here.

and lots of stores with Spanish names

sounds like it would come in handy. The hispanic cultures have so much to offer visually, musically and just generally artistically. I hope you're happy there!

wood sign out his window (front) as well. With spanish shops around even. ;)

The Embarcadero towers, the Transamerica pyramid, the financial district, the BofA building, chinatown, the Fairmont, Grace Cathedral, Nob hill.

Sounds like a lot to choose from. Any interesting people hanging around?

And yes, there are always interesting people hanging around. Some might even say real characters.

and then, behind that, I see the Bridger Range.... very beautiful.

I'm going to guess Montana?

southwestern Montana, just northeast of the town of Bozeman.

On a sunnier day, the Cascade mountains too.

I promised myself. Maybe load up the truck and head on out!

(my car still needs brakes. It has a rigged up muffler now- they sold me the wrong one. I tried to do the brakes, and got some great suggestions that I intend to implement, but lost my motivation. I just kept staring at them and telling myself the investment wasn't worth it today. Tomorrow!)

Otherwise I'd be able to see the Cascades too.
I prefer the clouds though.
Coffee tastes better on cloudy days.
:)

the river, a red barn and a white church steeple. Typical Vermont.

I think I would have stayed. Liberal area, beautiful land, good people and maple syrup. Who could ask for more?

a Catholic church. Directly across from my front window is a tombstone for "all the unborn" or some such. Ever since I moved here, I've wanted to put up a pro-choice sign. But my MIL goes to that church, so out of respect for her I haven't.

all the unborn could be all the future-to-be-born. May not be a R v. Wade thing at all! Hell, we all love the future-to-be-born!

:)

it's clearly a tombstone. Which is what they do for dead people.

And I think it's pretty clear that Republicans love the unborn WAAAAY more than the future-to-be-born. ;)

so sad.

are on death row, and have any of the following "afflictions":

"Wrong" color

"Wrong" religion

"Wrong" heritage

"Right" color

"Right" religion

"Right" heritage


I still can't understand the whole Karla Faye Tucker or the guy with the 74 IQ things. But death is rampant down there.

:eyes:

Overlooking some dumpters to a parking lot with an obscenely rich feel good church on the other side.

all the church members went over to the dumpster areas and plucked out all the old bag ladies looking for lunch. They gave them all a huge Christian dinner (biscuits and gravy and chicken and more), and called relatives until they found someone to take them in.

I have a lot of visions.

Take care, there!

The school building (brick, built in 1923) is further away from me, but the playing fields are right across, tennis courts a bit back. It's a small village in upstate New York on the Hudson River, which I can't see from my house. Most of the homes were built in the 1920s-1940s. Lots of people walk, some with baby carriages, some with dogs. Very quaint.

I don't know what it is, but you just don't see that color or texture anymore.

edited: Dogs in baby carriages? What kind of place is this?

just checked back on this thread....yeah, I live in Bizarro village where the people walk their babies and push their dogs in carriages!

then my front fence. Which is always decorated with trash clinging to it, since the incessant prevailing wind blows that way. Then about 50 acres of desert...sage and scrub. With equipment yards surrounding it.

Midnight at the Oasis - gets hot sometimes, I'll bet!

Pretty cool, huh?

he's not mooning you! I wouldn't want to see that one!

He's got his pants on. He's no Arnold. :evilgrin:

many many pine trees and a range of mountains. The occasional moose and deer wander by.

I have never seen one! They're huge, I know.

Do you think they would do allright in Tennessee? It would be cool, the only farm with a Moose on it!

:)

And, hopefully, one doesn't meet one of them on the road. Collisions with moose cause much damage around here.

As for sending one, ummmmmm, I'm not sure that would be a good idea. Actually it's moose hunting season now. Not a very good time to be a moose.

I see our very own short bus president apparently attempting to burn down everything in a 20 mile radius. No shit, he's burning limbs and logs and such blown down by the hurricane and left over from last year's ice storm. 20 ft. high flames. Anyone got a brontosaurus they want barbequed? :D

I like my Brontosaurus alive and running free with the buffalo-saurus. I could tell you some stories..............

I'm the only Dem around here.

they hypnotize their neighbors and even the postman. That's what we do, you know. Hypnotize them, and it won't be a problem. There are probably other dems waiting in the basement for a leader! That's you! Oh yeah! Clean up the neighborhood!

which faces my much more battered "No Iraq War" sign. This is our Laramie, Wyoming "No Iraq War" free zone. Better view is from the backyard where I see the railroad tracks in the immediate foreground with the Snowy Range Mountains behind.

I knew somebody years ago who named her son Laramie. I don't know why. She had never been there!

I can't see any other neighbors from my property, real secluded and neighbors are distant. I love the country!

A summer evening


A winter's evening


And of course the day I thought satan was coming!

That is unbelievable! Wow! Deep breath. Wow!

I'm getting my canoe (soon) and walking with it to there!

Wow!

How lucky you are to have that view. :)

I am trying sooo hard to get my student debts paid so I can mover out!

with an occasional deer walking by or maybe a bear...

It is surrounded by old five-story buildings on three sides (one featuring my front-window; many of which have still the old gray GDR look) and two GDR-made supermarkets on one. The park features a playground, two basketball courts and lawn for sunbathing and soccer.
The place can offer better entertainment than any tv-show; people having a party (sometimes at night, to the dismay of all people trying to sleep); all the ups and downs of human (and dog) life.

who likes to cross the street to my porch after a night of over-medicating and drinking.

So I try and avoid my front window.

and Chava's tacos, and three people waiting for a bus, and a scary-looking stray dog trotting around in the middle of the street. :scared:

scary-looking stray dog! He needs a home, just feed the poor guy, he will be the best friend you ever had!

Actually, so far (Dalton McGuinty) the new Premier's doing a bang-up job. :)

Beyond that, I see a "telephone survey" company building that used to be a really weird Baptist church, but the congregation folded, also a busy north-south artery road, a couple of sidewalks, some trees, some hydro poles, some ca. 1900 houses, and the rest of my slowly-gentrifying neighbourhood. Not, I'll admit, the most edifying view, but it could be lots worse. :)

n/t

A seven-eleven is kitty-corner from here.

an apratment building, a bar, 2 restaurants, the spanish embassy and a park

I can also see into the windows of the apartments behind my building. This one guy never wears a shirt.

The ladies Y in this city.
90 female residents ;-)
20 of them prisoners

'nuff said.

:boring: :boring: :boring:

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD


I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)

and i see horses and dogs and peacocks too.
