More from the Neighbourhood

 I've picked up a few more photos from around the two neighbourhood streets I ride, from flowers to ornaments to the construction on the Nelson Street hill.  It's a beautiful sunny day here, the first in awhile, and I've just got back from a trip downtown, with stops at the harbour, library and pharmacy.

The friendly lady around the corner has replaced her old display on a rickety stepladder with these on an old ironing board.

Her board fence is always intriguing.

Just down the street from her is this beautiful deep purple Clematis beside a front door.

Down the opposite direction on Nelson they have started the construction up the hill, replacing the pumping station at the top of the hill.

The road is down to one lane and that's regularly blocked as the loader brings up big loads of gravel for the trench.  I'm not sure what I'll do if I'm downtown during the week.

On the way home I pass this cute wishing well with a windmill of sorts mounted on the roof.

When the wind blows the woodsman moves back and forth cutting the log.  Quite clever!

And right here on our own street they've started building the 3rd last house.  After this only two vacant lots are left.  As usual they're building the roof first, sitting on the foundation.  They'll lift it off to build the walls and then put it back on top.
