How Green Can Be Our Paths

.
.
an example of local "wilding." (I was coming back from the hospital from a blood draw for my annual physical....I looked around in my very, very urban environment...there is a lot of this around me...and it is very cool to see. Nice.)

Aside from a couple of apparently dead branches that could be trimmed for aesthetic reasons, I like what I see and hope enforcement doesn't ruin the privacy and food supply these plants provide.

The hose appears to be the most significant hazard. Sweeping the steps would also be helpful.

I keep wondering about the perspective. I see the steps, the fences, the siding, the foliage arbor and using thumbnail extrapolation it appears to be engineered for someone <5 foot in height. Is this camera trickery? Paul

This is maybe the most overgrown house, actually you can't see the house (hence this more close up shot)...I suspect code enforcement will cite them soon and another radical cutback will occur. There is a little sign asking people not to eat the fruit...it is to feed the family. I don't know if this is true but there is this hand drawn sign.

But without Paul impelling me to look around...I would not have seen how much of this is going on...I live in a very green city, which is nice. Sometimes I don't notice...most of these "Wilding" houses are actually pretty neat in their shrubbery...but there is lots of it!

A philosophic point of order...I've never done personal injury even though that is where the money is...I can't fix a PI client, oh there is money, but, I am powerless to make the person whole again....This in not for me. Traveller

Hmmm. Would the defense win? Maybe order a pizza to be delivered, and give the card to the delivery person as you tell him to hurry up the stairs.

What I see is a huge tripping hazard, potential lawsuit, major settlement payout. Maybe you should drop off a few of your cards. Paul
