The landscaping of Blue Ridge Apartments

 The sterile looking mulch and trim landscaping on my front apartment side.

 My steps to a porch which is waiting to have flower pots to warm up my area.

The building right up the hill from mine.  There are 5 of these "patio" type buildings on the hillside...each with walk in to both upper and lower apartments.  Don't take a deep breath! Unless you like creosote odor...
