What do you see outside your living room window?

The house across the street has a large tree in the front yard, at least 75 feet high, if it ever falls, I’m toast. Lol. There are three bird couples that share the tree. A pair of doves, a pair of small birds, and a couple of medium birds. The doves interest me most. They have babies, in and out in and out. One stays all the time and guards the nest.

The mail person delivers to our mail box which is on the house. She walks across our yard which annoys me. She is supposed to go to the sidewalk but doesn’t and wears a path on my lawn. Next year I will fence and that will stop.

Occasionally a truck or car pass by but not very often except the house across the street gets a lot of amazon deliveries. She must be more than 80, I took her eggs once. There are very few children on our street and they are rarely out. It’s a quiet street in terms of activity. Everyone stays indoors.

Its a boring street. Probably a good thing. What is your street like?
 

My road is Tree lined, many cherry blossoms... many birds in every tree ( like my front and rear gardens)... we have nesting boxes and feeders at the back.

I have neighbours right and left, and opposite...

I have a 6 foot hedge across the end of my front garden ...I have neighbours across the road..who have an even taller hedge..

Aside from the neighbours next door to me on one side who are tenants of the owners of this house and have only been here for less than 12 months... I have known all my neighbours for 40 years.. I've seen some of them still at school when I first moved here as a young wife & mother , then go on to have their own children who now have children of their own...

At the end of the lane...I'm surrounded by farmland.. with livestock, horses, and crops, with many narrow country lanes only one car wide...

Behind my house I have woodland... with Muntjac, rabbits, squirrels, and lots of different Game Birds...

ETA I forgot to mention that I have double aspect windows so I can see out the back just as well as out the front...:D..and the back is totally enclosed and fenced , with lawns, loads of flowering shrubs , mature trees, , potted flowers, and barn and sheds... and the nesting boxes and bird feeders..and the oak garden furniture...

I came from the City and moved to a suburban area about a year and a half ago. We have a gigantic tree outside our living room window. I have seen squirrels walking around ,dozens of birds and just the other day my husband brought in a turtle he found out back. He was soo excited,and he wanted to keep it. I said no bring him back outside he'll be happy there. He agreed but took the turtles picture before he let him go.

A glass enclosed balcony with a bench on it. The pigeons keep wanting to nest on our balcony for some reason. Years ago, a pigeon made a nest in one of our big flower pots and we allowed it to stay. What a mistake .. such a mess! However, the baby was so cute :)

My living room window looks to the side, not toward the road.
I see a newly installed but old, wild bird feeder, with no birds having located it, so far. I hope they will, in time, but it's helpful even to see the feeder there.
I had to move, yep, during this awful epidemic, and without enough helpers, due to being too risky to have them, during it.

Seeing my own former living room curtains, that I had sewn years ago, for previous apartment, helps with familiarity and hominess, here in this living room.
The wild bird feeder has a green squirrel guard, which doesn't keep all the squirrels off, because as we all know, they are smarter, more athletic and clever, than humans. :ROFLMAO:

But no squirrels have found it yet, either.:sneaky:

I see some treetops from here, with bare branches from the long winter, but with tiny red leaf buds or seed pods, on the tips of the branches. I cant see well enough to tell which, but I am thankful to see some trees, and the sky above them.

Clouds moving in quickly, with snow/rain mix expected.

Good thread topic, and i enjoy reading these posts.

Kaila, have you still got only Bare branches on your trees?.. the trees in our road have flowered twice now in the last couple of months.. and those in my garden have all flowered now,..:love:
 
Looking straight out the window of my 3rd floor apt., I have a patio with plants and glider/table/umbrella. I can see the tops of palm trees along the side of my building, and cloud formations straight ahead in the sky.

If I look down, there's hedges lining the sidewalks below. Then there is a parking lot, and beyond that is a street, then another parking lot with buildings, and then off in the distance I can see a major highway and stores.
The view is amazing from up here.
 
I see my raised rock garden which is far more rocks than garden now. There are maple trees with their branches thrashing about in the gusty winds. Across the road, there is a tree filled with large pink blooms - perhaps a magnolia. I do hope they remain after this bout of wind and rain. Since the lockdown, many sheriff sightings - not sure why, but it is highly unusual. Perhaps they are just bored!
 
It's not a very good view...an apt. building across the street, the street and it's lined bumper to bumper with cars, the sidewalks, a bit of grass, my neighbors' apt. windows..no wonder I keep the blinds nearly closed.. ;) ✨

Yes, they are still completely brown and bare. All of them except for 2 very tall, beautiful Evergreens, in sight.

No local Spring-flowering trees have bloomed yet. I am in one of the Northern States, that borders with Canada, though it is still some hours drive away.

Crocus bulbs are in bloom here for about a week , but no tulips in bloom yet. The earliest tulips have leaves and some bud stems.

Would love to hear about anything that you enjoy looking at, within your living room. :)
