a story in pictures... so dense, so particular, so interesting!

I think the tree is a silk tree and the unnamed flower might be bee balm.

I see the scaffolding and feel for you -- will this project be in audible range? A house three doors up from me sold and I'm guessing it's a tear down. And, that there's probably Roxbury Puddingstone underneath -- meaning jackhammering. Ugh and ugh.

you called my neighborhood 'the country' the other day. I wrote a whole post about how and why it wasn't, but then held it back because it kind of turned on complaint (primarily about noise). this is a city and its pretty dense. not like NY of course, but not even close to a rural setting.

I love how much beauty you find on your city streets. The tucked away, the cramped, the hidden, in the people, the clouds... it is a mindset worth emulating!
