What's outside of your picture window today?

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Nov 25, 2020

As we get ready for the real winter to show up and COVID-19 still playing a major part in our lives I like to spend moments of my day de-stressing about what's going on in the world today. All I have to do is look out the window and observe some of natures beautiful creatures, how they interact and ponder how small it makes my troubles seem. Sometimes I may even get the opportunity to take a photo or two. How about you? Anything going on outside of your window(s) that you want to share?

For those members that have the ability to size your photos before you upload them to the discussion, may I suggest using the following sizes:
– 500 x 335 pixels (landscape)
– 210 x 210 pixels (square)

@johnbishop Hi, John it has been a while maybe last year. Love the birds. With the barn cats, I have very few birds to watch. I can watch the hay grow and soon it will be time to put hay up for the winter and the yard grass keeps growing with all the rain. The mother cows and spring calves love all the cool weather and the lush grass to graze. I have had a long journey since last I looked out the window. In March I went to the ER and just return home two weeks ago. It was a hard time for me always so active on the farm and never a sick day. I went from the hospital to rehab and then extended care. I guess my body was in total fatigue and said no more. So now I look out the window and look at all I should do in the garden but really need to rest for now. Thanks for all the great pictures. I really enjoy them. Hope to visit again but not so long in between. Take care and will be looking out my window. KLH

I'm watching a mother ground squirrel and her 3 babies clean up the parrot food I throw out the window. The outside birds and squirrels wait each morning when I open the curtain so they know food is about to spring from the window .We have a ritual, the cat waits for me to throw the food then stands and fitzz's at the window waiting for the show.

So for those of you that need proof......here is what was outside my window earlier this week. Wonderful place. Sorry for the poor focusing......these truly were taken out the car window. Who knows what and where this is?

It's the Gonda building at Mayo Clinic in Rochester! I love the covered atrium from the center picture, it gives the cafeteria such a glow inside! And the third picture is the walkways above the sidewalks, connecting hotels/business/Mayo Clinic to each other.

Okay, okay, i cheated. I've been there before....

I had a nice surprise this morning just wished I had steadier hands to hold the camera as I wasn't quick enough to get it on the tripod. New born fawn and momma in my back yard. I opened the curtains in our bedroom which has the lower deck just outside and was taken back by Bambi getting some love from momma.

Awww. So cute!!!! Those wobbly little legs…for now. ☺️
Thank you for sharing! Our neighbors sent a picture yesterday of a fawn snuggled up in a corner near their house. Mom was off having breakfast while baby is napping. 🦌

I love it! All I have are baby bunnies - eying the tender veggies they can't reach because I put them in a tall pot.
Today I am admiring the sun on the leaves, planning my planting for later.

@johnbishop Good Morning John what is outside your window today the First of June. Here it has rained most of the night and this morning. Flash flood warning for the area. More rain this afternoon and evening and Thursday again. It is pretty dark out for mid-morning. Everything is really green and growing with lots of MUD. We need a few nice days so we can put up hay. Maybe you have some sun. Hope you all are fine and Healthy. KLH
