Whats you view

Right now,as I am sitting here typing,I am also looking out the window,
I am watching two deer grazing in my apple orchard.And I got to thinking how cool this is,that when I lived in the city,I would never get a view like this.Then I got to wondering if anyone else was this lucky.How about it,anybody else?

I'm sitting at the desk in my home office. I have my choice of 2 different views. I can open the closet doors and stare at my starched shirt collection, or close them and look at a wall of wood! The lack of distracting views keep me sharper and I figure that's a benefit to all the other members!

Deer in the back yard: http://homepage.mac.com/matt_j/Backyard.html

Kind of a goofy thing to take pictures of and put on a website but I have a good friend who's from Austria. It's a nice place to put pictures up of what things look like here for her to see.

I wish.

I'm staring out a 32nd floor window at parking lots, houses, and the airport off in the distance.

I do have a pretty nice view of the Bow River as it winds through downtown Calgary though.

It's all covered in snow by the way!

I live in the middle of 45 acres in the N GA mtns. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. My drinking water comes flowing out of the ground from a natural spring. I sit on my porch and watch deer, turkey, bluebirds, hummingbirds, goldfinches etc. The weather here is great, not too hot in summer, not too cold in winter. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. 25 yrs ago my wife and I were on welfare and food stamps, today all of our dreams are realized. So yes there is someone else as lucky as you but I prefer to call it blessed!

Directly behind my desk is a print of Dali's 'Idylle Atomique Et Uranique Melancolique'. If I turn to my right, I can see out my 2nd story window fields of sorghum that go for about 3 miles.

Well, currently I'm at work.. here's the lovely scenic view of the "courtyard" (It's a roof.. we're on the second floor). You can almost make out the air conditioner. 1107 Broadway, NY NY. Oh yeah, heh.. that's w/ daylight..

At home.. my window looks out to a small bit of yard and a wood fence at the apartment property line. Nothing vastly exciting.

I'm staring right at it. (Well, actually it's a little below my line of sight.)

I'm in the Fifth Ave place Tower (the old Esso Plaza) directly south.

I live in a vault no windows, no view, and no drop by friends.
I will live through you people; I want Waxy's view, way up, and looking out over the land.

Has got to be somewhat peaceful.

I'm at work, and my only view is my walls and shelves full of nicknacks and dust. But there is this guy here, whose only a couple cubicle away. When ever he blows his nose (which is all the time) he sounds like a moose. Does this count?

At home, if I were on my pc. I can see the pair of cardinals who have built a nesk right above my window looking out over the back yard. Then in the back yard, on the trees I can see the squirrel races, and territorial fights between the red and grey ones. Those little red ones are nasty buggers!

Robin

We usually have a bunch of wild turkies in my work's parking lot. But for some reason they seem to disappear one by one.

I'm in my office in the Campus Center of a small midwestern college. My office has nice (motivational and career related) art work on the walls but no window. However, I frequently "need" to walk around campus to meet with students. The redbuds and flowering pear trees are in full bloom as are the tulips and daffodils. The ivy climbing the red brick buildings is greening up nicely and campus is very pleasant right now. Right down to the students sun bathing!

Our small campus looks like a small ivy league college in New England! Quite picturesque!
