A Walk Downtown



My friend Anne and I went for a walk in her neighborhood recently. Her favorites there are the old Victorian houses with gingerbread trim that have been painted in interesting color combinations, while I love the murals on several buildings along the walking route we followed. Some time I’ll go back and take some photos of the “painted ladies,” including her house for which she selected special colors. Despite a drizzling rain and heavy clouds, we managed to walk for at least an hour. Next time I hope the sun will shine!

The historic walls of the Washtenaw Dairy, a popular ice cream shop, are decorated with neat murals.






Next time I hope I’ll be there at the right moment to eat some ice cream.

    Fabulous murals. Too cold for me to eat ice cream, but I love Raphael's angels dreaming of an ice cream cone. Happy T Day
