What do you see outside in your neck of the woods?
Where I'm sitting was underwater in that flood I posted about in June.
See my rocks Jiffy!!
See Lynne the water in my stream isnt yoo-hoo like the creek in town.

Very Pretty Wrennie!!
I wish there were more areas like that around here!!!

beautiful! i'll take the camera out today and get some of the scenery around here.

thanks for sharing wrennie... and yes, i'll be grabbing rocks

Wow me too! How nice to get up and go fishing so close to home!

Wrennie

My god!!How amazing, breathtaking! I could get lost there just watching the water rush and listening to the sound!

Just wonderful! Loved those picks! Now that is what I call being rich! having something like this to enjoy!

That is beautiful Wrennie!!

To enjoy Ontario to the fullest, you have to go a wee bit north of me...closer to where Penny lives. Beautiful cottage country up there! We rent the same cottage every year and it is the most peaceful, beautiful place I have ever been!
Here I am sitting on our dock enjoying the scenery. You can see the crystal clear waters.



Here's our cottage. It's on an island...there's only 3 cottages on the entire island! You can't even see them from our cottage. (I always say "our cottage"...maybe someday we will own it.)



And here's Max and I fishing..both enjoying the scenery. We are going back to the cottage from Aug.22 'til Sept. 2. I can't wait!!



I hope Penny posts some pics from her neck of the woods. My brother and his wife have their favourite place right near Penny. (They concieved their first child there. )

Ok - I'm officially envious of all the vistas you folks have. I'm going to go take a picture of the Costco parking lot so you can enjoy my views along with me......

Bev - you are HYSTERICAL!!!

Christina - ooooooooooh, ahhhhhhhhh!
What a beautiful retreat you have there! There were sooooo many areas that I saw, where I just wanted to stop, take out a book or my knitting, and set a spell while listening to nature - just wonderful up there!

you got Costco- I've got Sam's Club I feel your pain!

I don't have either of those.
Remember what I said...this is north of me. There's nothing here in Sarnia...oh...the Bluewater Bridge connecting Canada and the US but I can see it from my house...and it's not all that exciting anymore. The fry truck there has great fries though.

I don't have either either! But we have lots of Walmarts! :rolleyes: :p

Beautiful scenery you have there Wrennie! We used to always go fishing but we have't been in years.

And Christina, that spot looks so nice.....private and secluded.....I think I could handle hanging out there for a week or so.

My boyfriend just corrected me...we're going August 26 to Sept.2. Loz...you and Mark are way more than welcome to join us...come on up!! You'd love it!! And I'm serious!

Beautiful pics. No real scenery from outside of the house, but I do get to see Mount St. Helens and Mount Rainer from different parts of town. Will have to get pics.

Wow Christina what a beautiful spot!

I dont see any costco sams or walmart pictures yet....

No Costco, but the view out the door is not fabulous.



At least I have trees! That is a good thing.

I will try and get some pictures of where i live, we are very fortunate to live on Georgian Bay and have the mountains behind us and the beach right at our door step, we are definetly "cottage country here".
I wont ask where that place is Christina

BF reminded me, I am going to take a picture next time i go to walmart. If you look away from the building you see a pretty picture. I wont give it away, I just have to remember my camera when I go. Probably wednesday.

Triss is that a weeping birch on the right of the picture? I wish I had a big lawn like that! Except for the mowing part ! i have to get a pic of my front "lawn".
{didnt I say that in another post? where was that? I was complaining about mr smoker taking over my porch.... }

Wrennie, Yes that is a weeping birch. I LOVE it!

They are so pretty!

I'm waiiiiiiiiiting..... more pics please!
This isnt just for country scenes either.Where are all of our city gardeners? and every place in between?
Seems like raffle time to me. Hmm, wonder if I'm allowed to.... hmmm..... Oh Biiiiiiiiillllll.....

This is sort of southeast view from my front yard....that's the little spruce tree we have...

and this is directly east from the front of our house - the barn yard everyone turns around in when they realize they came up our driveway instead of staying on the road....

Fernie, I just LOVE your space. I think I need to plan an Idaho road trip!

Very nice Fernie!!!

Those are spring pics so it isn't near as green now....but you are certainly welcome to come visit any old time!!!

It does not have to be green, it is beautiful!

I agree with Triss...very pretty!

You could meet me there Penny and we could party at Fernie's place.

I got some new batteries and took these pics today...

East view of the barn and wheat fields...


south towards our nearest neighbors....


and north.....

Wow! Can I come over?

Sure, come on over

I forgot the western views....just give me a sec

Okay...I JUST took this. This is what I see from my front door and windows. It's a wall!! It divides my street and Highway 401. It certainly serves its purpose from keeping sound and exhaust out but WHAT and eyesore!! Needless to say...I don't spend a whole lotta' time in my front yard!!

looking to the west in the backyard...


and at the edge of the backyard looking west at the lentil fields (with the wildlife border)

my border collie Tuck was rushing to get into the picture....she is the black blur....

Ooops!!!

Here it is:

Fernie...absolutely stunning!! That's how I envision heaven. Can't wait to show my boyfriend the pics...he'll love them!! Must be so peaceful.

that isn't the worst view I have ever seen. I used to look out my office window at a brick wall and heating ductwork. At least your wall has growing things on it!!

I really love living here. It is a wonderfully serene and peaceful place.

It is so pretty Fernie!

And Christina, if you have to have a wall, at least it looks nice!

Heaven!!

My street is surprisingly quiet. Not much traffic..all my neighbours are elderly..it is quite nice. And my street was just recently paved so it is PERFECT for rollerblading! Though..some day, I'd love to live where you do. Maybe I'll just move in with you.
Hope you like dogs.

I have 3 already!!!

Very pretty Fernie!!!! And Christina that isn't so bad....so are you taking up residence with Fernie?

I think we are starting a dog ranch!!!!

What pretty pics everyone has; what pretty places everyone lives.

Pretty drive you get to take!!

Oh goodie!!!

Stuspot..that is just gorgeous as well!! Love it!!

Very beautiful scenery there stuspot.

I need to get out with the camera this weekend and take some pictures from some of the good spots around here.

Scenery out my front door at work:

Beautiful drive to work! I'd drive around just to see it.

Nice view from work Wrennie.

Hey - I KNOW THAT SCENE!!!

It's so very pretty where you live and work, Wrennie!!!

Its so pretty Wrennie

Very pretty Wrennie, it looks like an area around here.

It looks like the Blue Ridge Parkway near our cabin on Grandfather Mountain, NC.
