Verda with Her Yard Art, Claytonville, Illinois (2007), from the series Prairieland - Habitants, by Dave Jordano :: via Flak Photo, 8 June 2009
What I absolutely love is how the porch's shadow creates a second, symmetrical stairway.

I love the interplay of mission-meets-art-nouveau curves going on in this side-yard. These two houses look like they must be good friends.

Just a fragment from a longer Sunday "drive" I took around Dayton this morning. Much of the neighborhood around Wayne Street and Xenia Ave. seems down on its heels -- lots of boarded-up doors and windows -- but I liked both the remaining (and reasonably maintained) Victorian detail on this pair of houses, and the added patriotic bunting, which both fits in with the architecture and adds an ephemeral touch, a reminder that people are actively caring for this place.
