What's outside of your picture window today?

I love rose bushes, especially yellow roses. Please post pictures when they bloom.

I look forward to your pictures. Thank you for posting!

This is a favorite sight down the road from our front window. We are watching Mother Nature clean her closets. Yesterday it snowed in the morning, rained for two hours and then went back to snowing! This memory is just a glimpse of why we love living in the country. Have a good day and be compassionate to yourself.

Beautiful view!

Beautiful photograph! I love the blue skies, pillow clouds, grass turning green and water to nourish the land, It doesn't get any better than this!

Love what sunny617 just wrote: "water to nourish the land." Spent a full day Saturday hiking miles along the river upon which I've collected data for 29 years, with a filmmaker to document the lack of water due to managing the coastal side of the Coast Range in Oregon for short-rotation (35 or 40 years between cuts) forestry. Young trees require great amounts of water to grow. This river, which has no human interaction except industrial forestry, has changed a great deal during the years we've monitored it and its wild fish. This part of the Coast Range was burned during three of the four great Tillamook Burns (huge forest fires six years apart in 1933, 1939, 1945, and 1951). When we started to monitor in 1993, there was some thinning, but soon all the headwalls had been clear cut, resulting in a terrible flood in 2007. Steelhead weren't able to spawn in the main stem for years...I saw the first redds 13 and 14 years after the flood, as well as new redds Wednesday and Saturday. We'll use "water to nourish the land" in the film! The big question is, now that I'm only a couple of months away from turning 80, how many more years will I be able to hike miles along this little river with its steep canyon and no real trails? The biologist who taught us how to do spawning surveys did them until the year before he died at 86; if he could hang in there, I'd like to try to match that!

This surprise was outside my window when I opened the shade in the morning. Photo is taken through the window.

@sunny617, and all...My goodness, that's abazing to this city girl. It apprears you're in a city, too, so why the visitor? Do you have many of these fellows visit? What else?

If you don't mind, where do you live? Lovely picture and lovely surprise for you...
Be well, Elizabeth

I do live in a city with a population of about 50,000 in North Dakota. We frequently have these visitors looking for food. They eat the berries off the tree and sometimes take shelter amongst the evergreens in our yard. Once our neighbor, spotted a moose in our backyard and we frequently have wild turkeys. We live on a hill and the animals come out of the coulees in our area.

During the last couple of days, we had a snowpocalypse. We received a minimum of 46" of snow with wind gusts to 50 MPH, in four days. Neighbors helping neighbors, the city doing their best to get a path down all streets to make them accessible, snowmobile clubs helping emergency personnel and assisting the hospital to getting staff to the hospital. Emergency responders working long hours to help and keep us safe. Riding out this storm was quite an experience. For years we will talk about this storm, the goodness of people, the laughs we shared and the relationships that were strengthened. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. I know that we did, in the midst of a storm.
