Brondesbury Villas, the street on which we live, taken when approaching
from Kilburn High Road. I took this picture on November 10, 2010.
| Further down the street, my apartment is in the second house on the left
(the first brown one). It has a metal gate. I took this picture
on November 10, 2010.
| A huge maple leaf. Notice the tall maple trees in the previous
pictures? Their leaves often cover the sidewalk, which isn't hard
considering how large the leaves are. I took this picture to prove
their enormousness. I took this picture on November 10, 2010.
| The row of identical townhouses directly across the street from my
apartment. I took this picture on November 10, 2010.

My side of the street has a bit more diverse architecture. I took
this picture on November 10, 2010.
| There are more brownstones down past my house (i.e., toward Queen's
Park). I took this picture on November 24, 2010.
| Farther down Brondesbury Villas are boxier houses with colored patterned
glass above their windows (hard to see in this picture). I took
this picture on November 24, 2010.
| Brondesbury Road, a parallel street to ours, about a block from our
apartment. I took this picture on November 10, 2010.

The trees on this street have leaves that turn a more vibrant yellow
than our maples. Nonetheless, I prefer walking down my street because I
never get sick of gazing in awe at the size of the maple leaves.
I took this picture on November 10, 2010.
| Brondesbury Road (still), on the way to Queen's Park (one high street
near us). I walk down this road this direction to get to Queen's Park.
(In contrast, when I go to work, I walk down my own street, Brondesbury
Villas, to Kilburn High Road.) I took this picture on November
24, 2010.
| Brondesbury Road almost at Queen's Park. I like these houses. I
took this picture on November 24, 2010.
| Donaldson Road, off Brondesbury Road, is lined with classy white houses.
I took this picture on November 24, 2010.

Honiton Road, off Victoria Road, is two blocks farther on. I took
this picture on December 5, 2010.
| Charteris Road, a little nook of a road, is festooned with satellite
dishes. Also note the family of pigeons. We found this street
by accident when looking for a shortcut to a restaurant. I took
this picture on December 5, 2010.
| Glengall Road, near Hazelmere Road, two blocks from the previous
picture. I took this picture on December 5, 2010.

| Snow!
|

In early December it snowed. This is our house's backyard garden, which
is actually the responsibility of the apartment beneath us: we're not
allowed to go down there but nor do we have to maintain it. I
took this picture on December 1, 2010.
| Ibid, the following day after it snowed more that night. I took
this picture on December 2, 2010.
| Brondesbury Villas after the heavier snowfall. I took this
picture on December 2, 2010.
