dancing with the architech

My new mountain bike has allowed me the ability to cover more territory during my mornings out.

Recently, I took my camera into the luxury neighborhood near the foot of the mountains and photographed some of the houses.

I love looking at houses, inside and out and enjoy seeing their variety and uniqueness.

I find the adobe style house that are common in this neighborhood very pleasing with their simplistic lines.



Many of the homes use local stones from the desert as part of their landscaping, often surrounding their property with low stone walls.


Some even include a bell tower and bell like the Mexican mission buildings of old.
