show and tell - my street
Tuvalu is abloom.
And so is my nose.
With camera in hand, on my way back from taking K to the station, I drove my street.
My street is a horseshoe. It begins and ends on a busy main artery that leads to the waterfront.
At one end is the home of my walking buddy -

she's got flamingos!
Around the curve and down a little hill we cross the intersection.

This is a pretty spot. There are dozens of birds singing away and in the evening bats swoop around. The houses on two of the corners have extensive wildflower gardens.
The one to the left has a shock of magenta azaleas and the one on the right has gorgeous ground cover planting. The house on the left starred in a very famous movie.
But I can't tell you which one.
Around another curve and up a little hill and you are on my end of the street. I live in the last house on the right. The one with the roof window.
And look! A giant truck delivering chips to the residents of Tuvalu! This is a special day!

The view from my front lawn looking down the street...


We're flying Tibetan prayer flags for my brother - out on expedition and K who has just returned.

Sorry to take away from the beauty of your pics, but the costs they are going through!!!! I feel this need to warn anyone who's house was built before 1950..
I'm up but I'll warn you it's a bit scanty today.
I'm up.
Wants to live where I live...

I hear Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's "Our House" whenever I see pictures of your place. (Except the two cats in the yard bit. Blackbirds aren't big cat fans.)
I'll put mine up tonight!
do you have any links handy about the prayer flags? i've always been quite fascinated by them :)
For a second I thought your house had been transported from Tuvalu to Tibet.

My nose is blooming too!
My camera is down or I would post my street.
Maybe I'll check through my archived photos and see if I can dig something up.
But did I remember to take a picture? Did I remember that it was show and tell? DID I!?!?!
A short post but I'm up!
Look at you, all fancy with your asphalt roadways... ;)
*Green with envy*

And now I have a strong desire to move:)
Have a good weekend
