View From My Window: Research

In the foreground outside of my window are tree branches with leaves close up to see that they are green and yellow. One of the leaves has a green insect on it, it looks like a caterpillar. The caterpillar is long and fat with neat lines on its back and it camouflages with the green leaf. The leaf appears to have some brown in it.

In the middle ground there is a window that belongs to the back of a white building. In the window the shades are down and the window frame is thick, black and rectangular. In the background is the sky which is bright with a whitish color with the tail of a plane and smoke coming out of it. There is an empty flower pot in another window.

From my window I had seen the three streetlights surrounding my block. From my viewpoint it almost looked to be at a 30/60/90 degree angle. I noticed how much rectangles and triangles played a huge part in the construction of my neighborhood’s houses. I looked at how my neighbor’s fences consisted of skinny rectangles and slightly bigger ones combined with triangles. I noticed the rectangular windows and triangular rooftops. The only time I saw a street sign that wasn’t rectangular, it was the diamond-shaped back of a sign on my block.

I looked at the giant tree on the opposite side of my block that is twice as big as the house it is covering from my view. I looked beyond my block and saw the little pointy top of the local church from two blocks down. The cars that traveled all the way down the block reminded me of playing with toy cars as a child, and the black and white color scheme of them helped this mental image.
