Backyard View

Just a shot of life in the city.

Three good things:
1. Blackened grouper for dinner tonight. Actually cooking it in a cast iron skillet on the grill outside so it doesn't smoke up the house and set off the alarm. :)
2. Another beautiful February day
3. Going to music class with Harper tomorrow. I've got my camera battery charging now. :)
Wonderful capture of such a pretty street. Love the architecture of the houses, with those nice front porches. Sounds like nice dinner tonight, taking advantage of the good day. Look forward to your pictures with Harper.

I really like this Peggy. Lovely houses and nicely offset by the skyscrapers in the background.

I could easily live in any of these pretty houses, the city buildings behind a complete contrast.
Blackened grouper, which I think might be fish, sounds rather nice & tasty.

Loving the juxtaposition you've shown. I'm moving to Charlotte - I'm sooo fed up with cold, wet and wind. Hope Harper's polished her drumsticks...

Nice shot, Peggy, love the architectural style of the houses in your neighbourhood. I guess you're approaching Spring. We got the first hint of Autumn this morning.

Nice city shot, Peggy. Love the skyscrapers in the background. Wish I were coming to your house for dinner. Have fun with Harper tomorrow.

Wow - you ARE close to downtown! These homes are lovely - are they remodeled older homes or fairly newly built in the old style?

I love the styles of the homes. So different then my town. Wonderful shot.

@bpaquette It's a turn of the century neighborhood, Most of the homes were built between 1900-10. Lots of major remodeling to many...but within the constraints of historical neighborhood code. So, it's pretty much as it was in it's early years.

I love my beach house on cape cod because I can get away , but there is something to be said for city living . This is an awesome shot of that . Looks like a fabulous place to call home.

@sarasdadandmom You've given me an idea for photo ops when I need some inspiration, Terry...'Porches in the 'Hood'. :)

@judithg Come on over, Judith...the weather is delightful (for the time being)! There are quite a few homes for sale and I'd love to have you for a neighbor! :)

@happypat Grouper is a fish, Pat...very mild and flavorful. I have to say the Blackened Grouper on the grill last night was amazing!

Love these cozy homes with front porches and how cool to see the city in the background. Would love to see the interior decor of some of these homes, being a lover of shabby chic & Victorian stuff :-) Blackened grouper sounds so yummy!

Lovely homes and what a background. I love grouper any way it's fixed. Nice shot Peggy.
