From your bedroom window

[Robi Diaz De Vivar]

I just had the idea that even as we have less contact with our face to face community friends, maybe we could get to know our forum friends better.
So.....what’s the view out your bedroom window? If I look straight down from my second-storey bedroom I see this:

i don’t object to having vegetables by my front door!
Later this afternoon I can show you the view if I look straight out my window, but first thing in the morning (as it is now) I have sun streaming in which obliterates detail in a photo!

maybe next week we can look out our kitchen windows.....then living room...then our yards etc etc
If it goes on long enough we might even invite each other inside! Perhaps share a cup of tea (by posting teacup pictures).....

Emmmmm, tragically for this project but generally happily otherwise we have a very traditional old Spanish town house where the bedroom is in the centre of the house and has no windows. Doh.

Old Spanish towns house are the best. Hope you have a balcony !

 

[Robi Diaz De Vivar]

Yeah, thank goodness, and a really nice patio to the rear......only the weather has been too bad for us to be able to enjoy them fully.

nice to have some green space but sad the weather is not cooperating.. Here it already feels like summer with high temperture in above 26C (80F). I wish you and your family the best and hope it gets better soon.
I am missing Spain at the moment even with sunshine here. I am usually walking in the Spring., rain or snow.

 

[Robi Diaz De Vivar]

Igualmente.

It has rained for what seems like weeks, and is finally warm and sunny today. I didn’t realize until I snapped the photo that the pear trees were blooming.

From the bedroom window in Astorga, in fact I’m in my bed now.

I love WV and the views out all my windows, but I think I would trade for Astorga right now!!!

Absolutely. I love Astoria beautiful I stayed there 2 days for a bit of rest

Enjoying this thread. Thank you! I snapped this this morning after seeing this thread. From my bedroom window in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, facing east. The mountains in the background are called the Sandias. (Spanish for watermelon many of you might know.) They are so-named because often at sunset they turn a bright pink or orange or red. The same reason the mountains about 65 miles north of us, the southern end of the Rockies, are called the Sangre de Cristos.

Looking a little cloudy this morning... must mow the lawn today

This is the view from both sides of the window ❤

Can I have your cat????

 

[Windwomyn]

Looking eastward on what was suppose to be a rainy day. Another month before I go pick up a pot of pansies and whatever else takes my fancy. (Ontario, Canada)

 

[PetePie]

Wow, some great views, everyone.
Lots of openness.
My dog is on the morning (7.30am) round sniffing the scent of any possums or other critters of the night.

High Summer here in the Central Valley of Costa Rica.

I am on Day 7 of 14 days of quarantine, having set foot on the island of Tasmania, Australia just one day after quarantine was introduced for all arrivals from the mainland. I was midway through my road trip from Queensland to Tasmania when restrictions were announced. The day after I arrived, airlines cancelled all flights back to Queensland, and then all States closes their borders. I came to start a new job, and my daughter was meant to join me at Easter. I was meant to leave May 2nd to walk the Portuguese, with the plan to celebrate my 50th birthday in SDC with my close friend. Despite the disappointment, when I arrived in my accommodation in the North-West of Tasmania, I knew straight away, yet again, the Universe was loving on me by giving me THIS house, THIS view and a beautiful new work family who I get to have virtual coffee with every morning. I miss my family so much and don’t when we’ll be together again. I miss the Camino I was so close to rejoining. I miss walking... I can’t leave my property. But I give thanks multiple times a day for this view which helps me endure the solitude of quarantine without loved ones to share it with. May you all be blessed with beautiful moments throughout your day

A silver lining perhaps ???

Weather is gorgeous today in Auckland, NZ. View looking down the Waitemata harbour from my bedroom.

Great view. China have come out of an extended lock down so there is hope for all of us. The Camino's not going anywhere. Hang in there, you're half way : )

I already have my café con leche ready... as you can see in my new avatar

I thought it was time I changed it to something representative of my character !

Now, THAT'S a view!

From the kitchen window Blooms are fuller today against blue skies

 

[Arctic_Alex]

Nice to see that spring is in full swing in some places already ... while we still wake up to -18°C in the mornings and today we had some snowfall again ;-)

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

-18°C in the mornings

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! and to think I woke up this morning to a house that was 69 degrees and I thought it was cold !!!

Actually, in the house it is over 10°C most of the time ;-)

where are you located in Sweden Alex? I have been there a few times

 

[Arctic_Alex]

where are you located in Sweden Alex? I have been there a few times

In the far North at the Arctic Circle, Jokkmokks kommun in Norrbotten County.

Far far away from Stockholm

The full moon rising on Tuesday evening.

its somewhat tough to do "from my bedroom window" since I have no windows in our bedroom. It has large French Doors that lead to the glass sun-room... but all you see is our back yard and into neighbor's driveway - BRING!)

Well.... couple of last days gave me the opportunity to snap couple of various photos that I finally felt were "worthy" of posting in this thread
As many have noticed - Spring is here


1. Full Moon last night



Sparrow on a Holly bush (Man was he singing loud!)



Black-headed Chickadees checking out one of our little birdhouses (we attach them straight to the patio rails so they are quite close to the various windows in the back of the house)


Finally, just because Spring has sprung does not mean that some are not in the 'foraging mode'
A squirrel working on the bird feeder accross the street at the neighbors lawn
At one point that guy was truly upside down and munching away

I wonder what effect those positive retests in Wuhan will have?

 

[K Turner]

I'm living in a hotel at the moment and there's a pool with green water outside my window. How about pictures of my dogs instead?

 

[Kiwi-family]

@Arctic_Alex surely you must be going to get spring soon - look what’s happening here (just down the road from me)

I do like my old bedroom window photo from an unusually snowy Winter, but it was still an old photo so I was cheating a bit with it.

Here's one from this afternoon (see ragged window edge at the right) :

 

[David Tallan]

This isn't exactly from my bedroom window, but it was taken from the back yard or the family room.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Amazing David. It beats my not-quite-bedroom picture that I sent to another thread yesterday. From my bedroom you can see a nest (if you know where it is, a bit over 2 feet / 60 cm from our vegetable garden). The other day three bunnies escaped temporarily and made the nest known to us. There are a total of six; here is a closeup of one. We need a fence now.

 

[CWBuff]

@David Tallan - As my wife said Really, fox and deer!
@Rick of Rick and Peg - REALLY?! As if David's wasn't enough!!!!

❤

 

[JabbaPapa]

At last !! A view of my bedroom window from outside :

... taken from a local stretch of the Via Aurelia that I take my training hikes on.

So, my bedroom window as seen from the Camino.

Sus Eia !!!

(not a great photo, but taken today)
