Around the block.. by maggiemae

Around the block..

There were some cute houses around our block and I got some of them with my camera. Some even had gardens, but I liked the French Canadian architecture. Narrow houses with sloping roofs (for the snow, I expect)

Three good things:
1. A lazy day - read a whole book, mainly sitting high up on the roof amongst potted flowers and under the sun.
2. A deli called ’Seed to Sausage’ had some delicious soft potato bread and some spicy Italian salami for lunch - up on that roof!
3. Might be snow at home but the only white I see here are the whites of my husband’s eyes - when he sees me change my clothes!
no 3 made me laugh. Sounds like a great relaxing time you are having. The processing for your French Canadian architecture works a treat. Picture postcard.

How beautifully composed photo of this cute little house. I like your choice of processing that accents the nice light. It sounds like there's a lot going on up on that roof! I hope that's not where you saw the white of John's eyes!

Lovely processing. We had a holiday in Quebec a few years ago and you are right, the French Canadian architecture is really something to see.

@s4sayer Sorry about that Margo - it was an instantaneous comment!

I am so behind with the commenting, I see two or three of yours i have missed but I am so full on at the moment I am shattered at night. The family are away until Sunday tomorrow so willl try & tidy up & get a bit of relaxation in. Sounds like you have got it cracked! A book in a day on the roof, just bliss! Funny #3,

@happypat Sometimes the best time of day is when you climb into a comfy bed at night! I know the feeling!
