Modern Vespa

I know we are all spread around the globe, but I'm just curious what our daily view on the world is. Whether it's a busy street scene, rooftops or a country vista, what's yours? - Bonus points if your scene includes a scooter or motorcycle

View from my front bedroom window...The building is the end part of the old Halton Schoolhouse, sold and split into individual private residences in the 1980's.The tiny walled garden plot on the extreme left is my little front growing area.

I have a view of a tyre shop and a garage, but somehow no scooter in the picture. Can you spot the canal? There's also a riverbend behind the football pitch, but it's obscured by the trees. I can only see it in winter.
If you look closely, you can see the Viktoria above the rooftops.
The photo is probably too scaled down to see.

On the shores of scenic Lake Babcock. On December 27 , at 66*F it's too cold to dip in the pool yet

I take a picture of my view nearly everyday
Recent sunset

My view this morning.

Canada being Canada.

Whiteout pic is today, lots of snow fall. Sunny pic is how things look when the snowfall passes and the sun comes out.

View from my dining/living room last spring. That is an Eastern Redbud and the low cloud in the distance is the town of Nashville, IN.

I live in a semi-detached "duet" house that I inherited from my late Mom.
My son and his family live in the second house (behind the umbrella) and my single daughter in a flatlet in the back of our house.

This is what the front garden looks like:
1. looking from the garden in the morning light
2. panoramic view from the house
3. Vespa standing in front of an Alpine-style timber tool shed that I built for the garden tools.

(Excuse the very bright Summer Southern Hemisphere light.)

Nice thread starter T3. Winter.

Everyone, thanks for window from your world.

My little house, and a moment of harvesting kiwis ... in the mud.

Love your crop Attila. My favorite breakfast fruit. Are they green or gold?

I just took this pic from my bedroom window

My cat and my scoot

It's Attila's job to put the little sticker on each one. I trust they are labelled correctly.

Out the kitchen window doing dishes on a dreary December day.

Steelbytes,

Great shot of scoot and cat. I can not tell if your cat is all black or a tuxedo.
My cat (Jack) is a tuxedo with some funny white below the mouth that makes
him look a bit silly.

He's a tuxedo 😻

The only Zespri in the local shops are Gold. Hoping to find Green as potentially coming from your orchard.

Boerica...

"Boer" is a farmer in Afrikaans.

That looks like an elegant white Clark Gable moustache to me !

Fud,

Jack thanks you.

Who has patented the quality of kiwi has a daughter named Erica and surname Bovo, therefore Bo.erica.

Bravo Attila


Isn't a Kiwifruit a Chinese gooseberry?

From the front of the bungalow early morning sunrise.

It rained for a couple of days here so the creek is quite high.
