Apr 6, 2005

I pass this house on University Ave every day on my ride to work. I've always liked it. Its always immaculately maintained. You know, their grass even gets green before everyone elses.

So today on the ride home I jumped off my bike and snapped some pictures.

I didn't notice it right away, but the reflection in the front window of this house of the house across the street was so very clear. Kind of interesting.

Elaine would like it if I were to maintain our house this well, but I guess there's lots of things she would like and for which she will have to wait a tad bit longer. Sorry, Honey!

The first thing I noticed were the interesting shapes in the image, it was only wen I read your comments that I saw the reflection.

Very nice reflection. I like the way it combines with the divisions in the window. I really laughed at Dan's comment especially after what you said!

I love Dan's comments about the graffiti - had to go back and look! LOL
Yes it does look a very well kept, nice reflections too.

Noticed that graffiti right above the roof. Must be some vandals roaming the suburbs with ladders... ;-)

Nice job as always Don!

There is always one....when I was young it was my childless aunt & uncle who vacuumed under their car weekly, even when it hadn't been taken out of that garage all week :>)

Looks very nice. I can see why you like it and you captured it well. I like the reflections too.

It's so fun to discover things in your photos that you didn't see at the time. I love those curvy lines in the window.
