Things that are fun to stare at (besides badmovies, TV shows, & lewd pictures)

[LilCerberus]

For instance:

Bird Feeders, particularly in the morning...
The ceiling fan on ultra slow in the evening.....
A skeletal pocket watch ticking away...
Those little green caterpillars with black & yellow spots munching on my fennel plants in the summer............
Pointillisms.........

You?

The ocean.

Clouds, particularly at sunset or sunrise.

The night sky.

Mountains.

M. C. Escher etchings, & similar works of art.

When I was a kid I used to stare at the sun.  
If you look long enough, there is a blue dot in the middle, which follows you for the next ten minutes.

Rain.

I used to rain watch on the patio in our old apartment. Our new apartment doesn't have a patio so I'm restricted to windows. Watching and hearing rain is so comforting.

Lightning bugs.

Sadly we missed out this year. We usually watch them every year in my niece's garden.

For me personally it's weird/old cars like the Edsel, Fiat X1/9, etc...

When I was a teen, we had full length bedroom windows, situated under the slanted side of the roof, so no need for a gutter...

When it rained, a few drops would fall at a time...

If I lay down sideways on my bed, & place the top of my head against the glass, the sporadic falling of the rain drops looks something like scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey........

I like watching my cat sleep.
I also like watching my dogs interacting through the window, when they don't know I am there.
And watching little goats play in the field.

I also love watching the rain or snow.  It never seems to last long enough. 

I love ornately carved wood.  Furniture, architecture, etc.  It's not as common these days as it used to be.  What happened to our brains where people only want to see plain lines and simple geometric patterns now?  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but intricately decorated items are always labeled as gaudy and tasteless and I just don't get why there's so much hate.  I also like patterned and chinoiserie wallpaper/murals.

If I had the time and my family had the patience, I could stare into the woods or bodies of water for hours.  So many things become more clear when watching nature.. like frogs and toads sitting super still hoping you don't see them.

Fire, as in campfire or firepit. I could stare into those flames for hours.

Same goes for Aquarium.

good movies

Lightning storms, especially when they are right directly overhead. I never understood why so many people are afraid of them. The bright flashes, the crackling sound, the thunderous boom that shakes your innards and your bones, the scent of hot ozone. It is literally a free fireworks display courtesy of Mother Nature.

Reminds me of when I used to lie in the cargo bed of my Dad's Datsun 280zx & stare up through the rear windshield....
He was driving through a lightning storm one night that was pretty enjoyable.
Even saw a bolt of lightning form a loop...  Only time in my life I've ever seen that....
