One of my very faves, Nadya! Gorgeous and charming scene!
Thanks, Jessica! (I must admit I’m having some trouble keeping up with everything – like comments! – but I think over time, I will get the hang of it!

Ok MsTique, I thought I recognized this beauty!! And I still love it, Nadya!!
Aha! “Busted!” LOL! Well, I tried every variation of Nadya I could think of, and all of them were used. Almost went to my old nick name- NICK- but oh dear, not exciting. Glad you recognized and like this shot! This old home is definitely among my favorites of my area.

Thanks Ingrid and Teresa! Having lived so long in northern California, I was accustomed to Victorians that look like wedding cakes (frame — brightly painted). Here in Illinois they’re often brick. So different! Mini-castles. This is among my very favorites in the area. I appreciate your great comments!
Beautiful work!
Thanks so much for your comment, Ken!
