Saturday December 12, we took a trekked around a section of
Raleigh called Historic Oakwood
Homes in the oldest part of the area are from the Victorian age
Many have been restore to their glory. All of the architecture is amazing.
They have a candlelight tour that started Dec 12-27, 2020; however,
we went during the day. For the next week or so I'll show several views of the homes including the one above that was at the start of the tour.

While we were trekking we saw lots of pups who asked their
peeps to take them on the trek too.
Today the first house in the tour that delighted My Mind's Eye
was this one. I think they all had themes some were obvious other subtle
This Theme is
BEARS
Each bear was dressed festively and they were every where.
I hope they take the bears in at night...
The horse hitch in the bottom right was especially eye catching
The decorated lantern
What a lovely place to go for a walk. Such beautiful houses. And great to see all the pups out enjoying their exercise too.

I love the blog header. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe have a few Victorian houses here in our town. They are beautiful creations. I like their bears. Of course, the horse hitch is my favorite.
I am loving these old homes, so beautiful and with decorations even better. I am with you on the bears left out overnight. Sweet and Sad on Ms Madi in the poinsettias.. hugs angel Madi...
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun place to tour. We have a similar place and up until the Covid Christmas they had horse drawn carriage rides at night and it was really very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI want to come with you. So beautiful and all those adorable pups too.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Mom LOVES Victorian houses. Around the corner from our development there is one long street that has all newly built Victorian-style homes. There isn't one on the street that Mom wouldn't love to live in.

I hope they bring the bears in, too! Walking a different neighborhood sounds like a great idea. That was a great way to get some exercise and the homes are very pretty. SSNS grew up in an old Victorian.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those houses are beautiful. And what a cute idea to use bears as their theme!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice area for a walk and look about. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful house, wish I could take a virtual tour inside. The bears are adorable.
