in pursuit of happiness

t
Coranado Historic Neighborhood, south of 12th St & Thomas Rd
In the older neighborhoods, there are alleys behind each house. Certainly not the most scenic area to stroll through, but I often found them to offer a unabashed range of color, depth, and character that depicts the way people really live. In our pursuit of style, wealth and thrills, we don't always take note of the way things really are, or accept that it's not necessarily something that needs to be changed.

Not all homes are meant to be published in interior design magazines. I'm glad.

I like your real-life edge in this blog — thank you.

Welcome to the CDPB community! Based on what you've already posted, I know I'm going to enjoy my visits here. Happy photoblogging!

Thank you, Hilda. I was attracted to the muted color and textures that express an intriguing character in these places.
