Bay windows
Not the usual semicircular, square or three-sided profile, the shape of these bay windows on the opposite side of Second Avenue is an elongated oval.

Monumental
I'm in Second Avenue again today, admiring enormous houses with lots of original features. Walking up from the sea, this one's on the right-hand side of the road.

Here's looking at you, Hove
This is Dyke Road; the eastern side of the road is in Brighton BN1, the western side's in Hove, BN3. The photo is of the Hove side, taken while I was standing in Brighton.

Name?
This patch of sporting green is between Wish Road and Saxon Road. There seems to be some confusion about what it's called - some maps label it 'Recreation Ground', some call it 'Wish Park' while on others (including Googe Maps) it remains nameless.

Cocoon's oranges
My LYS (for the non-knitter, that's Local Yarn Shop), Cocoon in George Street has an eye-catching display of knitted oranges hanging from the tree in front of the shop.

A welcome sight
Crocuses blooming in a front garden, Albany Villas.

Turning 180 degrees
I turned from taking yesterday's photo to face Palmeira Mansions, two imposing south-facing terraces built between 1883-4. They were designed by architect J H Lanchester and builder Jebez Reynolds jnr and consist of large four-storey properties with attics, basements and very nice decorative features.

Palmeira Square
Looking across Palmeira Square towards Adelaide Crescent and the sea with the Floral Clock Gardens in the foreground.

Looking skywards
Roofs, chimneys and architectural features form interesting angles and shapes along the top of Courteney Terrace.

Plumes
I don't think I've noticed a clump of Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) for years - it was the Fashionable Thing to plant in your suburban front garden during the Seventies. This one's growing in a garden in Albany Villas and it's huge.

Lumpy and bumpy
I like the extraordinary shape of this tree in Vallance Road; I pass it regularly on my way to the supermarket and the George Street shops. The tree's always flanked by parked cars which is why you can't see the rest of it in today's photo.

Clamped
It's not a good idea to park in a Disabled bay if you're not entitled to do so; it's an even worse idea when your car tax has expired.

Green, pink and white
How lovely to see something in flower - Viburnum tinus growing in a Vallance Road garden.
