Look out your window, what can you see?

[Raggit]

... it could be worse I suppose.

That's a beautiful place Darth!!  I'm gonna move in with you! 

Let's see.... It's cloudy outside and to the west I can see tree covered hills.  The hills level out to the south, to the east is a line of trees, which is the property line.  More trees block the view to the north.  Hehe, sounds kinda like a text adventure game

Hey, Scottdoom, I didn't know there was somebody else from Honolulu here.

[ScottDoom]

I saw that one other person lived in Hawaii with me on the AGS World Map, but our names are so close together they're hard to read.

[Ali]

Thanks for posting all the pictures, even though I'm sure Darth must just have scanned a few postcards. I wish I had a digital camera so I could post a photo too.

DragonRose, you have a bunny in your garden! My girlfriend would be so so envious. I'm a little worried about this though:

I can see my Dad's new blue truck (Ram 2500)

I don't think you should Ram any people with it, never mind 2500.

[Sylpher]

I am on the second floor and staight ahead is nothing but tree madness so let's look at the ground.

[HappyHobo]

Right now in Las Vegas:Lots of other houses, desolate rock mountains. It's an endless suburban area.

My house in Salt Lake City: Big, BIG mountains. They look big from far away, I live at the base of them. The Department of trasportation garages behind my house, smog, the mountains on the other side of town, the freeway, and the tall buildings downtown. Oh, I almost forgot. More mountains.

[Kinoko]

I'm still waiting on that picture of a zebra... :\

Incidentally, outside my window is... the ugly brown courtyard of my particular block of units. Outside the next room's window is MUCH nicer, I have a view of rolling suburbian hills, a nice green park and the half that's left (after several vicious storms at the beginning of this year) of a big, pretty, light green tree that has lots of colourful blossoms in Spring.

[Rave]

Well, let me take a look... *gets up and looks out window, holding a pad of paper and pen so he can report back. He writes down a few lines and sits back down to type*

Okay, so outside my window I see.....a tree. Oh, and a tree. And a bush. And then I saw a few more trees, a log, a stump...aaaaaaand....a tree. Beyond that, there are a few more trees....and then a big fat ol' rock. From there, it slops down rapidly for a short while before reaching the water. I loved sitting on that rock when I was little, and its nice because it doesn't face any houses or anything. I DON'T find houses pretty at all, but the lake is nice. Oh thats right, I didn't tell you that I lived on the shore of a lake.  Well, I live in Minnesota and its the State of 10,000 lakes........so that means everyone gets their own personal lake.    Just kidding. I'm just special. Its called "Big Lake", by the way. I don't know why, because its awfully small.....oh well.

Yay! Deltron 3030. I also loved when somebody recognized my avatar.
Ah ... I get enjoyment from the small things.

[CoffeeBob]

The only thing (almost) that I can see out of my window is a big cherry tree ^^'
Anyways, here's a pic:

Look! Sonic's on our front yard! =P

[Rave]

Umm.....so, does Sonic now have invisable hands and seethrough eyes and ears? Thats sort of creepy......unless he is wearing Leaf Contacts and Leaf colored hearing aids and...er...gloves with a pretty Leaf pattern to match.    CREEPY! I demand you fix. 

[Darth Mandarb]

This fellow has been hangin' out on my front porch for a long time.Ã,  I have tried on several occasions to get a picture of him but could never figure out how to actually do it.Ã,  My camera just wouldn't focus in on something so small.

So today I got an idea ... I put a piece of paper directly behind him and voila!



Now ... I don't mind him hangin' out on my porch ... but there are five of these suckers on my back porch and you have to dodge their webs to get to the pool ... so I'm thinking of terminating the back porch ones.Ã,  They're new to the area anyway.

 :o   Wow.  That's the coollest spider I've ever seen.

This little slideshow is what I see in my humble abode:



Exciting?  Very.

[Paper Carnival]

Oh, and if you look at this picture long enough, you'll see that a building MAGICALLY appears in the background...... I don't know how this works, but it's amazing!

Well, if you look even closer, you may notice a sexy female as well!

[Dart]

Darth: I recognize that spider. It's a spiny orb-weaver.

Information (if you're interested):

Spiny orb-weaver, Gasteracantha cancriformis ( Plate 6 ). The spiny orb-weaver spider is one of the most colorful and easily recognized spiders in Florida. The dorsum of the abdomen is usually white with black spots and large red spines on the margin. Females are 5 mm to 10 mm long and 10 mm to 14 mm wide. The webs typically contain tufts of silk, which may prevent birds from flying into them.

Hey Dart thanks for the info!

I was wondering what kind of spider that was.

They look neat when you look at them with just the naked eye, but it sure is creepy looking close up though.

Thanks again.

[Darth Mandarb]

EDIT - Sorry for the double post ...

Found this in the pool when I took the dog out for a walk tonight ...




I thought it would be vicious ... but it just kind of climbed out and meandered off into the brush ... it was kind of strange.

NOTE: For those who don't know, that's a possum.

[Ozwalled]

It's a werewolf!  :

[sedriss]

Whoa! It's like.. a giant rat.
Truly disgusting.

[auhsor]

I could post a picture of what is outsude my window, but all there is is a big fence one metre away, so thats not all that exciting.
