featuring the letter " H "
FOR HOUSE!
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH a fairy-tale making,
it a HOME; as many fairy tales often do.
 Who lives in this cottage by the bay? Why I hope to someday! |
| I too, dream of the cottage by the bay, where honeysuckle grows and fish swim all day. Just give me a fire by night, food enough, a mourning dove's song and you by my side.....forget the cobwebs, for there are many, but just enough to keep our cottage by the bay safe and sound..... |
I have a weakness for shooting houses, always have and always will.
They aren't always the most magnificent houses either.
Sometimes I shoot places people call "home" like below, (this is just an example) because this car is so darn cute.
Please don't laugh. You know people have literally lived right out of their cars. My first husband and I did for an entire summer once. Sure we were driving across country, visiting relatives; but we spent more time sleeping right there in our Plymouth Fury -
that featured one gigantic trunk!
Pretty nice streets for the 10th of January too, don't you think!
 |
| A house is made of walls and beams, stones and bricks, and loads of glass; while a home is built with love and dreams and bound by memories...... |
Why do so some people hide behind their window coverings.........
Some houses are linked with other houses, and called Row Houses or Townhouses, of late. But still a "Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to." - John Ed Pearce.
"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself." - Maya Angelou
 |
| Do the signs or personal belongings we hang outside our house, make it more a home.....than just another house along the avenue? |
 |
| Perhaps these fine pink blossoms surely do make this a home, or not. |
 Come autumn, trees drop their feeble leaves in front of whitewashed, rambling houses, some with carved door frames and some not; but all welcoming happiness to those who enter. |
| Can you tell if it's a home just by walking by? What if, you heard the laughter of tiny voices amongst the sound of the purr from a sewing machine? "A house is a machine for living in," - Le Corbusier and making it pretty or mysterious the very face of a house that greets us It is what we make it. |
 |
| A mere four-sided house, repainted in five colors creating a "Painted Lady" gleaming proudly from the Victorian Age, but in all it's glory, the face-lift does not guarantee it's a home. |
But, no matter what, it's always the love we find inside a house that keeps us there.
