My Walk Home

Here's a view overlooking Third Street (which is a straight-off drop!).  Fenelon Place is on the top of the bluff.


One of my favorite houses on this street.  It is currently a bed-and-breakfast.  For those interested, this house IS for sale!  Unfortunately, I can't afford it!


This is an older one-family home that hasn't been restored, but it has an interesting quality to it, I think.


This is an apartment house, which actually was built as an apartment house.  (Many of the apartments in this part of town are part of older single-family homes.)  I couldn't get everything in the picture, but you can get a sense of the nice brickwork.


A stone lion with a bit of Halloween decor left over.  It used to have a matching partner on the other side, but someone broke it a few years ago, so this guy is left all on his lonesome.

Here's a nice duplex (also for sale, IIRC).  I like the red brick with the green trim!


You know, yesterday, that tree had all its leaves! 


And across the street, you can see the fallen leaves in huge piles.  I wanted to take a picture with my foot in there to show how deep these piles are, but I couldn't manage the right angle with my wimpy camera-phone.


Fire-engine Red House!  I love it!  If I ever have another chance to get a house, I want one this color!


Another house that I think is on the market (or at least it was until recently).  Nice iron fence and trimwork.


I didn't take a full picture of this house because there is construction work going on.  The owners have been restoring this house for YEARS and doing a great job of it.  I like the play of the leaves against the blue backdrop.

From where I usually see this house (across a street, down a sloping hill), it usually looks a lot more imposing.  It was rainy today so this picture is a bit dark.  The red brick looks very nice on sunny days.


This house is on the corner of my street.  It's one of the few houses on this street that has a decent-sized yard.  During the summer, you can't see the place at all because it is hidden by all the landscaping.


Detail of the burning bush shown in the previous picture. 


Again, dark skies, dark picture.  This house was restored 5 or 6 years ago and is very cute.  At some point, I'll get a pic with a better camera and light so you can see the details.


Home, sweet home!  The view of my house as I'm walking up towards it from the street.  Those bushes actually belong to our neighbor (our yard is tiny and ends at the edge of the house itself).
