I walk by this house all the time, and I just love it. It is the weirdest house.


The blue, the grey, the brown, the purple – those are all the same house.


The purple shed in the back is a painter's studio. Sometimes, when I'm lucky and when the weather's nice, she'll have the big doors open, and I can peek into the studio.


Check out the front gate. Nice gate, right?


It is actually the headboard and footboard of a bed! The person who lives here is very creative, and very good at reusing things.

I like trees a lot. This is one of my favourite neighbourhood trees.


It is a very large tree. Actually, if you look closely underneath, you can see that it is many trees, close together. But someone has trimmed it nicely, so it looks like one tree.

I like big trees because it always make me think about how long the tree has been there. This tree has been here a long time, probably since before I was born. What has this tree seen over it's life? Trees are also interesting, because they say something about the people who look after them. To get these trees to grow so they look like one round tree, many people have taken good care of this tree, and trimmed it a lot.

I always smile when I walk by this tree.

This is a little pug who lives in my neighbourhood. He has the sweetest ride.


He looks very tough, but he is very nice. Don't worry, the machine gun is pretend.


His owner made the sidecar for the bicycle out of an old baby buggy!
