While driving home from work on Friday afternoon I took the scenic route, which is always much preferred to the freeway. I don't care if it takes twice as long....I love the view. I take a different side street and discover the coolest houses. On this particular day I was drawn to the different types of fences. Here's what I found..........and whoops, I still haven't fixed the "date" on my camera...this is NOT February 2009....It's September 2009. And please note for my northern blogging friends.....NO FALLING LEAVES OR COLOR YET! :(.....after all, it's the south! :)

The big blue Victorian caught my attention with it's intricate picket fence.

How about this cute bungalow with the inviting gate. Just make you want to walk through it and "go visiting".

Another cute house surrounded by a picket fence. I was going to crop the photo to delete the street gutter but noticed the mosaic street name and block on the curb! LOVE IT! Wouldn't it be cool if someone named Beverly lived on Beverly street??? I BET there's at least one!

This house is on a corner and used and
unusual horizontal fence to give themselves more privacy.

I bet behind that fence is a VERY nice yard. :) Don't you think so!?!?

I likes this house....it looks like a good
gardener lives there. The colors of the house intrigued me too...so my NEXT post is going to be colorful houses. And boy....I found a LOT of them. Can't wait to show you.

And here's a great idea if you have a lot of those pretty, stain glass windows. These cleaver homeowners inserted a bunch of the windows into their 7 foot fence.

Here is their drive way....they used both wooden and metal fence. They did a great job of mixing the two materials.

As I headed down the street, the towering oaks bend to meet in the middle. I LOVE that look...do you?!?!?!? It's just so welcoming and a much better way to
meander home from work than a crowded, exhaust filled freeway, agreed? Thanks for hanging with me in my hood.....I hope you find it was beautiful as I do. Happy Fall
Ya'll!
