I have a challenge for you. What do you see from your Back Porch or Back Doorstep? This is what I can see from my back porch. Sitting on the step.
I can see:
The unDaily View (it looks a little different because I have another lens on, the 50mm).
Sophie’s Garden.
The orchard … well it will be an orchard when it is all growed up.
Not everything is pretty though miss c, says Queenie. You have to show them the view to the North too!
Thank you for that Queenie, I was just about to do that.
And no more sitting on me.
But Queenie, you are such a comfy rest when I am grubbing thistles in the field.
Well, I don’t like it.
But you never move.
That’s because I am too tired. And anyway you are putting on weight. So you pin me to the ground.
That’s a lie, Queenie Wineti.
Just sayin’. Now go ahead and show The Fellowship the other view from the back porch.
So here is your Challenge! Show us what can you see from your back porch or back door or balcony door or even front porch. I want to see what you see! Can you show me? If you have time you can take a shot from your back porch and put it on your blog pages and link it back to me so I can share the pictures with the Fellowship. We want to see real backyards, views from the balconies of apartments high in the sky, farmland stretching away , rubbish bins in a line, tiny city gardens, the allotment across the road, the neighbours brick wall, a garden heaving with growth, the beach, a park across the road, a telegraph pole. Tons of Views from the Back Porch from all over the World. From your Point of View. The mundane and the beautiful because they are the same you know. What do you think?! I would love to see what you see when you sit on the doorstep outside your door and think about nothing.
Whether you have just joined, or are one of the Oldies, or have never commented, or always comment.. go for it! Show us what you see.
I know that there are plenty of readers in The Fellowship of the Farmy without blogs to link from/to but I bet you would like to join in too, so you just go ahead and send me your shots by email! Most of you have the address already I think. I will pop them on my pages for you so you can play too!
Good morning, now for another view, the front of the Farm cottage with the Coupe adjoining, from the field. It changed a little yesterday and will change dramatically (fingers crossed) today.
Life is grand. Being alive is grand.
I do hope you pick up the challenge, I am looking forward to it!
your friend on the back porch step, celi

Life is grand – I am lucky. This challenge is a lovely idea. I enjoyed seeing some different views of your farm. Dear Daisy. I would love to sit on a cow.
There’s a small bit of Back Porch in today’s post….but I miss doing my Views. Got to start that up again!
What a great idea but I don’t think that I’m up to al that technical ‘linking back’ stuff (total computer numpty you see!), so maybe I’ll email.

Looks like the original house is getting a facelift to keep up with the Coupe! It will look gorgeous!!! I love how the red doors on both tie it together! Love the ‘view from the back porch idea”! I will gather some shots and email them to you! xo
Fabulous challenge Celi! Think I shall take my camera and head out to my back step right away, although my view will be very boring compared to yours!
🙂 Mandy xo
Right, all things going well, you will get a link something or another from me tomorrow morning for my back door view post. 🙂 xo
Good morning Celi ; well i did it its not as pretty as your place but it has only been six months since our move and there are many things to do. it really is a beautiful place in different times of the year. during the winter you can see for miles on the ridge seeing the mountians all around through the trees but when spring comes the solitude comes and closes you in with her privacy of leaves. the coupe is almost done yes? is the siding on the house getting a face lift? have a blessed day mike
ha! i just posted a view of my front gardens from my porch yesterday! http://octoberfarm.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-front-garden.html
Serendipity! Just posted this on my blog yesterday:

I enjoy your blog a lot and Queenie looks lovely and very Queenlike in her pasture.
I live a duel life and so get to experience two magnificent contrasting views.
From the side porch of my farmhouse where I live 4-5 days a week: http://marmepurl.blogspot.com/2013/04/happy-spring.html
and from the 12th floor city apartment where I live 2-3 days a week:

Great! I just posted last week: http://justmakethecoffee.com/2013/05/16/vacation-week/
[…] over at The Kitchen’s Garden has given us a challenge: a photo of our garden from the back door of our house. To join the fun, […]
Here’s my view! http://miskcooks.com/2013/05/22/two-photos-from-the-back-door/
I’ve been thinking about blogging about my morning tea / coffee view for a while, so you have just gone and nudged me miss C. I hope you like the colour blue ….
Here’s a post with pictures from our back deck ~ the bottom two shots:
I love this idea. My husband is the photographer in the family so I’m going to ask him to do the honors. I wish the Fellowship would say what city and country they are writing from.
I know what you mean! We have such an international fellowship. So when i put up the pics i have noted where in the world they are from.. it certainly is more fun that way! I am working on the first of the front porch pages right now, it is looking fantastic. I hope your big tree is in yours! c
