Not long ago I was visiting a friend in the city.

We sat out on the balcony and looked at the world.

There goes a truck and another truck.

There goes a red car and now a white ca and a green one.

Whoa there goes a another white car.

There was revving motors, horns and exhaust smell.

 

Now at home on my deck.

I see in a short span no less than 12 varieties of birds.

The local raccoon is at the pond looking for a frog.

There are squirrels, and a myriad of other small animals.

In an hour the dear will be here.

The air is smooth and fresh.  I hear birds chirping and the squirrels barking.

 

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea!

 

 

 

 

Just a few of my country friends

I too prefer the view from my porch to that of a city.  I do however wish from time to time I lived someone I could order pizza and have it show up at the door.

I live in the city but, on a really secluded lot (in the back). I love having the best of both worlds, William! 

Love the shot of the dog and the skunk!

Being raised on a farm, give me the country life.

There is no comparision to me.  But I love that so many people want and like to live like that.

Good morning William. While I enjoy the serenity of the country from time to time, must admit to enjoying the view of downtown Chicago from my balcony. Yes, I hear the trucks and sirens as part of the experience. Enjoy your day!

I'm glad that pooch is being patient with his dinner partner there.  Otherwise it could be a stinky affair.

Good morning William. I think there is beauty in both areas and each appeals to me for different reasons but I too like and reside in the country now. That first picture is killer.

I have lived in both in my day and currently live in a community. Both have their upsides and downsides, but I will likely move back to the country some day.

That country living is addictive. I don't think I could get used to living in a highrise next to an interstate.
