WindowSwap ~ look out someone else's window

Sunny, with ominous clouds about 4:00 pm today out my window

Here's something called WindowSwap.  Click that link to "open a new window somewhere in the world."  Spend a few minutes looking out someone else's window.  Or several windows.  Today, I've been to...

• Luxembourg, where three teddy bears sat by an open window
• Bangalore, India
• Dundee, Scotland
• Berlin, Germany
• Glanamman, Wales, where a breeze was blowing through trees
• Bordeaux, France
• Long Island, USA, where a helicopter flew across my screen
• Lisbon, Portugal
• Shanghai, China
• Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine
• London, UK
• Stockholm, Sweden, and saw balconies of other apartments
• Vilnius, Lithuania
• Istanbul, Turkey, where three birds flapped by at dusk
• Luzon, Philippines
• Cordoba, Argentina
• Rochester, NY, USA, has a very fluffy cat sitting in a window
• Obersteinabrunn, Austria

Then I was looking out the window of somebody else here in St. Louis, USA, where it was drizzling rain on their swimming pool, just as I could see it sprinkling out my own window (see above) at the same moment just before dark.  It seems people can send in videos of views out one of their own windows, and I got to see plants on their windowsills and teddy bears lined up in Luxembourg (see the list above).  This is fun!

Word of the Day

driz·zling  / drĭz′əl / adjective =  (of rain) falling lightly in very small drops;  Example:  "It was drizzling rain today in my town."

Drizzle is fairly uniform precipitation and is composed of small water drops that fall to the ground.  The only real difference between drizzle and actual rain is that the droplets in drizzle are much smaller.
