Photo-a-Day - June: Day 16: Out and About

 Out and about for a short walk down my street this morning.  It's only one block long yet it's a wonderful combination of small apartment buildings, large homes converted to apartments and single-family homes; a couple with very over-grown yards.  Each house is as different as the ethnic and age diversity of the neighbors.  Alice is in her 90s and has lived in her house all her life.  The Chen's have been here since being released from the segregation camps after WWII.  We also have a lot of young couples moving into their first homes and starting families.  It's a friendly neighborhood with a very active Neighborhood Watch group.  Once a year we hold a neighborhood party and an average of 75 people attend.  I do love Oakland.
