I see egrets and Assategue Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. I am humbled and thankful everytime I look outside at the natural beauty. What do you see when you look out your window?

I would love to look out over the ocean but no such luck. Out my window I see my back yard that has branches all over from all the winter storms. (I have been trying to pick them up everyday but it is never ending) Beyond that I have a small field that hopefully will be tilled in the next weeks to get ready to plant corn. Then beyond that are trees just before the railroad tracks. I am lucky I guess in the fact that there are lots of birds to watch and it is a large open space so I am not cornered into an office and only seeing buildings and such. Sure now I want to go outside*L* Got work to do so I will just have to enjoy the view.

I see the woods that are just budding out, the creek that runs along the back of my property, and a farm field on the other side of the creek that once the woods are all leafed out, will 'disappear' from my view. Right now I hear the birds chirping and the breeze sighing thru the woods.

I am very lucky that I live in the country so I look out the window and see my flowers that I have planted for Spring. I also see my birds at the feeder and sometimes the darn squirrel eating at the bird feeder too. I can also see out my front window and see my donkeys out playing in their pasture along with the goats doing their butting games where they butt each other with their heads. And of course all the cats lounging around in different places. So I am a super lucky person with tons of good things to see out my window.

whenever i look outside my window i can see a tree and a few bushes and some grass and then whenever i look around there are houses and cars surrounding them because i live in a neighborhood where there are a lot of families and a lot of kids so most times there are kids or something like that are out playing with one another...thats what i see most times..

Wow, Joe - that would be great!!! I have a friend who has a place on Chincoteague. I've been invited, but every time, I'm not able to get there. Anyway, out my bedroom window (when the sun is up, of course), I can see Main Street and the numerous cars that travel daily (far more than there were when I was a little girl), the pine tree that Dad planted YEARS back after we used it as a Christmas tree first, all the oak trees across the street that surround that yard and their ancient pump house in front of what is left of the old barn, the sand pit where we used to play with Matchbox cars after building all our roads and stuff, the pine trees that line the driveway as a divider between next door and here that I can remember playing "store" under when I was little (the ground has since filled in from the years of pine needles), and more grass that ever used to grow out front because we mostly had gravel that just wouldn't let grass grow no matter how often Dad spread grass seed. Apparently, the soil has improved over time. I miss the hyacinth bush that I used to climb in to hide out (although I don't think I'd try that today knowing that spiders would actually be in there.) Oh, and I see the septic tank cover that prevented the ambulance from coming closer to the front door to get Dad when he fell and to get Mom the numerous times she needed assistance. I'm going to miss this place someday - the orchards are gone out back, the people who bought my uncle's property behind us removed the fence with the neighbor gate so that no one could enter their "estate" without permission, the dairy farms are gone and replaced with $200,000 homes and the small grass runway airport is gone and replaced with $400,000 homes. We're no longer country. It's just sad.

I see a creek in the back and trees with birds in them! We have an egret that lives back there and flies around. There is a hill on the other side!
