Outside your window

Post by PA Girl »

My part of PA is experiencing a fantastic indian summer day. I openned up my office window late yesterday and could smell FALL.

I swear this tree turned orange overnight -

I tried taking the picture through the screen, which didn't turn out so I walked outside. When I look out the window, this tree and two more just like it are basically all I can see.

So, what is outside your windows?

It IS gorgeous in PA today. Just beautiful weather. Camera is not here with me, but I love it because I hate the upcomming winter.

My impatients are about 2 feet tall and they're still hanging in there. Some of my roses are starting to bloom again.

God, I hate the winter!!!!!!!!!!!

An absolutley cloudless blue sky and very warm, 70 degrees. I hope it holds up for the weekend so we can get one more sail in before we pull out our boat for the season.

I love your view Liamsaunt.

I don't have a camera either, but there are some beautiful gold, orange, red and green trees outside. It's warm - ~70. My impatiens and geraniums are still going strong at the house.

We're headed to Maine for the weekend to do some leaf peeping.

Might have some nice pictures to post.

Take advantage of these last "top down" days!

Great view. I have a similar one of New York Harbor but am too technologically challeneged to capture the image and post it. Alas my office is moving at the end of the month to bigger space but we sacrificed the view. I'll try to get some pics before the movers arrive. We have these amazing sunsets with the Statue of Liberty in the fore ground. Its been a nice run for 10 years!

Nice Tree! PA

I'm looking out onto the main street of a small town.
Beautiful blue sky today and small shops across the street.

Sailorgirl, I pulled my sailboat on Monday. We are doing the dock this weekend, so I had to get it out.
I wish I had one more weekend. Well at least it's nice weather for the outside stuff!

Have a nice weekend everyone!

My window is up high, and I'm short. But if I could look out of it (when I stand on my chair), I see parking lots. But I can tell the sky is nice and blue and pretty, so that's good.

I really am appreciating all y'all's views, though. I wish I worked somewhere I could see something good, but these days I will just settle for having a job!

Now someone in the area is burning leaves! I happen to like that smell and it is making it difficult to concentrate.

Beautiful tree, PA. It's been so hot and dry here, I don't think we're going to have any fall. The leaves seem to be going from green to dead with no in between.

No camera but I am on the North Shore in MA and it is just gorGEOUS!

I sat outside today and ate lunch in 70 degree weather. Balmy breezes, lotsa sun, man o man.

Fall is my favorite season! My wedding anniversary is next Thursday- 4 years!
