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

My blog is starting to look more like The Monday Gardener than The Monday Baker! Great challenge though – I’m enjoying having a look at everyone else’s spaces. If you want to see mine it’s here. http://themondaybaker.co.uk/2013/05/23/what-i-see-from-my-back-door-a-challenge/ (assuming I’ve worked out how to post a link).
What a fun challenge! I will take photos when I get home this afternoon!
What a cool idea – we can’t all actually get together, but visiting and seeing actual views somehow makes it more alive and real

Here’s my daily view (Jackson, Mississippi); I spend a lot of time with this view in my peripheral vision, while I’m writing. The view is changing rapidly now; summer’s upon us. Our poor deck is neglected, though; I’ll have to post again when it’s looking prettier.
