The Streets & Alleys of Armatage Part II

Last week I introduced my new weekly(ish) feature- walking every street and alley of Armatage, my neighborhood in the southwest corner of Minneapolis (here's walk #1). Since I just took 100 photos at the Armatage Summer Festival, I wasn't sure what would inspire me on tonight's walk for my Wednesday contribution to Armatage 365. 

Armatage Streets & Alleys Walk #2

Walk #2 is in blue and it equals 2.11 miles.

Black Eyed Susans are in full bloom.

Orange colored berries look like mini oranges!

We didn't pet this dog.

Beautiful backyard seating area.

Alexis, 12, is a birthday princess!

Hydrangeas without leaves.

The homeowner told us that the hydrangeas are without leaves because her above-ground pool broke and chlorinated water poured out all over the back, side and front of the home. Fortunately no one had water in their basement and these flowers took the biggest hit but will hopefully survive.

Thomas Avenue South at the 5800 block.

Cul-de-sacs are uncommon and the late 1970's style homes on Thomas Avenue are about 30 years newer than most of the late 1940's homes in the area. 

Colorful landscaping hides a chain link fence.

Mural canvas?

Furry friends.

Beautiful flowers showered in sun.
