This is a lovely time of the year. Looking East from my steps .....that's a small pink dogwood behind the azalea

What a colourful street, looks beautiful :D

[Mags]

Such beautiful photos and lovely colour, Eileen :D It looks a really striking road and I love the style of the houses..

Your azaleas are huge!:shock: I lost both of mine this winter gone:(

[dandysmom]

Thanks! Most of the older houses close to Downtown are row houses, most of the ones around here were built in the 20s and 30s. Further out is the posh part of town: detatched single family homes with green lawns and million dollar price tags!

What a shame! These were full grown,although smaller, when I bought the house 42 years ago.......our Winters aren't that severe in terms of long spells of sub-freezing weather...although they can get very cold and very snowy!

I echo what the others have said Eileen - lovely pictures, really stylish houses and a lovely looking street!

Wish that transmat kiosk was in operation, I'd love to pop over one afternoon for tea!

[Elaine]

Those pictures are beautiful Eileen.:D

[babycakes]

I can imagine you sitting in that chair DM with a glass of something, for medicinal purposes only of course, and admiring the wonderful colours.

[Fran]

Super piccies, Eileen! Very colourful indeed :cool:

[Kim]

Lovely flowers, I love the style of the houses too, looks like a great place to live Eileen!

:-D And I do that too, until the horrible day-flying Asian Tiger mosquitoes get bad! Gin is very medicinal, of course...

[yola]

Yes, but does the gin keep the mozzies away ;) If so, then you'd just have to carry on!

I adore those types of houses - it's exactly what I imagine East Coast U.S. cities to look like :D What rich colour you all have in your gardens. I wonder whether you get a different light to here, because when ever I photograph my garden it looks very washed out.

[Lorna]

What a beautiful place to live....I am extreamly jealous!!!! :D

How I wish it did!!! :-D When they get bad I retreat to the house; I'm not super-allergic to the bites but get larger itchier wheals than most people, unfortunately...:( .

Don't know about the light, Yola, could it be a setting on your camera? Do PCs have a photo section like my Mac"s iPhoto? I can adjust the brightness and color there if it doesn't look right....

That would be cool, BM: wish you could bring the boys! Leia is very fierce picking on a little black cat less than half her size, but I bet she wouldn't try anything with your two! She may weigh more, but your boys are really tough little hooligans! :-D
