Things I didn't notice the first time

I took these photos all within a few blocks of my home. I must have walked by more than once before I really saw them.

On the front porch of a Cowper Street cottage

This dome tops the building across the street from my apartment. Sometimes the window beneath the dome is lit at night. When I researched the dome online, all I found was the Flickr page of a renter in the building, who relayed the rumor that the top-floor apartment was the residence of the building's eccentric owner. Wonder if s/he owns a telescope.

The sushi at this University Avenue restaurant is okay. I like the cranes better.

These fellows are in the front yard of a nearby residence. I find them a little disturbing.
