Over the last week, I made several walks through our neighborhood with camera in hand. Often, I visit several alleys that usually offer a variety of different subjects. One evening, the late afternoon sun cast tree shadows against a garage door.

While driving home from a local store, I noticed signs of an boarded up house. So I took the opportunity to visit that location during an evening walk to explore what could be found.

During a trip through one of the alleys, I found these branches growing in front of a blue wall.

In another alley, I found a blue door. This was located in a garage that had been painted blue. The garage’s paint had started to peel, revealing the underlying white paint.

In one front yard, the house owner had hang two hearts in a low bush.

Valentine’s Day takes place in February, so there are still remnants of the celebration in the neighborhood. The hearts are probably a remnant. In the image below, I was drawn to this scene below by the two pots containing blue flowers.

Blocked by two dumpsters.

The low sun provides some interesting light. I found a monochrome rendition that showed the contrast created by the backlit cage.

One of the alleys backs onto a car dealership. At sunset, the setting sun highlighted some reflections of car parts, shining through a green mesh fence covering.

Our cat was due for an annual visit to the vet during the early morning. Behind their office were some colorful paint on the fence. So I decided to do a return trip on foot later in the day, when the sun lit up the fence.

We all need Peace, Love and Happiness.
