I am so excited at the response to the back porch challenge. Here are the highlights from yesterday and there are more coming in! So we will have another post of back porch views tomorrow too. This is fantastic!
Charlotte on the other hand is practicing keeping her head in the sand I mean muddy waters. Trying not to notice that June is coming!
Nancy wakes up to this! How glorious.
Garybuie in Scotland. This sits on the North side of her house and Christine says it is freezing outside her back door.
Marie has a barn swallow building a nest above her back door in her Little Corner of Rhode Island. I am sure this will keep her little people engaged for some time. Maybe an inspection ladder is in order?
Mamapurl (US) lives in the country sometimes and other times she is in her Tower. This (above) is what she sees out her windows!
Misky (UK) is doing renovations in her garden soon but for the moment it looks like a wee oasis of calm from her back porch.
Mike and Missy who live right out in the country with a whole horde of beautiful children look across this scene with their morning cuppa.
Our darling Jean who farms with her punky Kiwi husband and lives in France raising grass fed beef has no porch but looks out the window. Her page today is full of the most divine views, including this one:
Look at all that grass.
Cat lives in Tel Aviv in Israel and though she longs to have a little farm one day for the moment her back door is this beautiful
fertile little balcony.
And nuts for treasure looks out the back door and sees an enormous wild turkey staring back at her, every morning. Every Morning! Can you imagine.
Barb from Passionate about Pets looks out onto her neighbours farm.
Fantastic.
Viv who also lives in France has many glorious views, this is my favourite one.
And now I must away to do some work, then later I shall collect some more of your views. What a great day it will be!
But before I go here is what our darling Eha from Australia sees.
I must stop now and get out for the milking.
You all have a wonderful lovely day and now I can see what you see I can think on those views as I work.
You can still send yours, it is never too late! We are developing an awesome collection.

I will try to get my porch view tomorrow.
That was such fun this morning and I love all these views. I love the balcony in Tel Aviv and the water and all the greenery, what lovely readers you have here on the Farmy xx Jo
Had a great time visiting with everyone today! Kind of put a place to a name if not a face. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could ‘beam me up Scottie’ and visit each other when we wanted too! Maybe if I win the lottery I’ll arrange a bus trip for everyone LOL
From my back porch(Ontario, Canada)….the wooden yard swing under the maple trees, the arbour covered with bittersweet, soft lavender lilac bushes, some overwintered multicoloured geraniums blooming away, a tiny patch of my flowerbed for my one tomato plant, a cucumber plant in an old galvanized tub, close to fence so it can climb, a beautifully made white doghouse, sadly…. now empty…
I’d love to perch on Cat’s balcony in Tel Aviv for a cup of tea, I loved Saints’ pics, and the story of the lone brush turkey… I dropped in on each of yesterdays links, ooh they were all good… and now there are more 🙂
I am putting tomorrows together as we speak! I am so glad we are doing this! c
Sydney’s weather is quite miserable yesterday and today so instead of my morning walk around the park, I’m taking a virtual stroll around the world…
This is great, I have taken my pic this morning and (as I write) am uploading it off the camera. I will send it via email C so I can play too 😉
Thank you Cecilia! Great idea for a blog post, love seeing everyone else’s spaces.
This is such fun Celi…and all these new blogs to explore ! I can’t handle the technology alas so will watch all these other back porches from my back porch!!!
You have started a porch photo explosion! They are fascinating, and lead to some lovely blogs if one follows them up.
What a beautiful collection of views. I dashed out and took some shots of my view in the morning sun, but I don’t have an email to send them to (I had it once, but my computer meltdown at Christmas took it away)
A great collection of views from our back porches – what a great start to the challenge.
Love the pic of Charlotte hiding her face in the mud!
This is great fun. Thanks for the challenge, Celie!
Our link is here. We are in coastal Maine. http://ruitfarm.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/what-i-see-from-our-back-porch/
I’ve had days that start a lot like that first photo!
How fun is this!
Outstanding! What a grand idea, Celi, and what wonderful sharing it’s inspired.
. . . and yes, I did go ahead and share my backyard view, too:
