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)

Don't think I don't see what you're doing (picture 1) 😹🤣😹
So, I enhanced it so everyone can see what you're trying to do (picture 2).

That all aside: this is such a terrific view!
I can't see the apples though because the image is too small, but if you can upload the bigger one I could see them, what kind of apples are they, you think, if they are apples?

Hey, picture two has been removed, I add it again.
Because we all need cows in orchards, right?

===== Edit
My second photo keeps being knocked off the post! 😕

I wonder if the the picture gets booted because it exceeds the 5 MB limit?? Maybe with editing, it bumps that above the level.

@loribmt Yep, can't beat the views in this part of the Okanagan, surrounded by mountains, orchards and wineries! Hugs.

Hahaha. Love that runaway Holstein in my orchard!
I'm not sure what kind of apples they might be. We grow a zillion varieties here. The apple aroma outdoors can drive you wild with joy.

@ellamster WELL, kid, it was difficult enough for me to successfully downsize my pics and load them on to the Connect site, and NOW you're asking me to download the larger images so you can see the fruit-laden trees???
😆 🤣 😂

Hey, I am only doing this for you! I am sacrificing my precious time to give you the opportunity to do it again because you clearly found it difficult and there is nothing like practising! 😹

@ellamster I truly appreciate your kind thoughts, plus possibly, your consideration of my advanced age, but I just don't have it in me to post a larger image! Since we first started our conversation today I've travelled a three-hour return trip to undergo a renal ultrasound at a major hospital, after drinking a mandatory one litre (32 oz) of water within 30 minutes and one hour prior to the appointment time. Then I had to undergo the 45-minute test, flipping my achingly arthritic body from side to side for the most photogenic shots. THEN, I was finally allowed a visit to the washroom to get rid of the 32 oz.! Whew. And I didn't even have an accident! Lol.
Old age ain't for sissies. 😉
