Dia Numero DOS!

My Neighborhood of Queens Village is urban yet suburban in a way. Certain parts of my neighborhood are busy with a lot of businesses while other parts are residential houses with rarely any traffic running through the streets. With such a diverse ethnicity in my community it makes others who visit very welcome because you can meet almost any type of nationality.
I took this picture of my neighborhood outside my house. The time was around 6:30pm and everyone, who went to work or school, are back home settling in and getting ready to eat dinner. The mood of my neighborhood is very calm. You can see the the red sky as the sun slowly and gradually disappears behind the tall oak trees in the back. The winds are calming down as well but you begin to feel the air chill as the night approaches. The radiant red sky makes the colors of the houses, flowers, and grass more lively. You can hear the mother birds chirp as they fly by above you toward their nest. It kind of reminds me of when I was a little boy playing outside with all my friends until my mom or dad would call me in to eat dinner.
The houses on my block are all distinctly different in the way they're shaped and painted. Some houses are white, baby blue, yellowish, and so on. Many houses on my block have a basement, first floor, second floor, and an attic. All the residents of my community basically fight to see who has the best lawn. Who has the best front lawn and house is an ongoing competition that everyone faces on this side of Queens Village. The sidewalks in front of each house are often altered by the owner to reflect the house as well. For example, my neighbor in the middle of the picture put two small brick pots on the sidewalk to make his house look better. But the predominant item everyone has is green. As in green grass, green trees, green plants and green bushes.
