If I am ever able to live in a house I am going to paint the door some odd color that doesn't match the rest, so it can be "The House With the ____ Door" because that is the best title for a house, ever.

(In a terrible Fake English accent) Aw look at the little bunny! Does he nibble yer bum? Anyway he is cute. As for the rest o f the 'hood, I think you have some awesome surroundings. I thought the house with the orange door had character all way round!

More lovely buildings. And these might be genuine Victorians, too.

And oooooh, a runny babbit! It's adorable.

Ok, I'll believe you. I do!

Seems like quite a colourful area. I love the bunny and the ice cream cow.

Gallardias! How delightful, you so rarely see Gallardias anymore. They're the nice flowers in the second pic next to the Echinacea (the purple one). I can't believe the bunny. How lovely to have one around that's not a prisoner in a box or an agricultural pest with hundreds of brothers and sister bunnies frolicking about and eating all your Gallardias.

Hey I've got a theory about your Cow, or at least a similar phenonema. Did you have the Cow festival pass your way in the recent past? It moves from city to city round the world every year and came to Manchester in 2003. Basically someone (?) donates a few dozen fibre-glass ( I think) cows that are given to the cities residents to decorate and display in public places round the city for a few months before being auctioned off to local businesses and collectors presumably for charity or something. There's bound to be a website. I'll take a look in a bit.

Yeh my favourite was one that was given a pair of wings and a flying helmet and suspended above a main road. Every now and then you see one outside a shop or something left over from 2003.

Anyway, what a lovely area. Thank you for sharing your pics.

Those photos are really lovely. About the flowers: my grandma has lot of those red-yellow ones in her garden.

And the synagogue looks like a modern sculpture, unlike the one in Budapest, which is pretty much traditional, but lovely.

The bunnyyyyyyy!!! Quite nice that he's so friendly. Anyway, the friendliest semi-wild animal I've ever seen was a squirrel in Edinburgh which let me pet him.

Those are some very nice photos you have there, Cass. Love the bunny. How cute!

The ice cream cow kind of reminds me of all the buffalo sculptures around town, painted in different ways to emulate the spirit of Buffalo, I guess.
