My friend Stan and I have a thing where when we are traveling we look for photographs that are in a category by themselves, and we call those "American Vernacular." They are liable to be photographs of an old barn or an abandoned pay phone on the side of the road, or a really old classic gas station sign and things like that. The subjects are usually architectural in some way, and typically something "American." We are never sure exactly what our version of "american vernacular" is, but it is fun to share the things we find. I went to the post office in Sea Cliff today to mail a bill, and was amazed to see this house, which I have photographed before, with its porch all light up with lights. They are orange lights, so I think these lights are for Halloween. But it was so interesting for me, and the lights were a big part of it. I found that seeing the lights brightened my day. So I thought that you all might enjoy this.

I do remember seeing this home before as the porch stood out and the home was right on the sidewalk. Fun to think they are decorating with lights and Fall flowers for Halloween and the Fall Season.

It looks cheerful with the lights and the flowers, and the bird houses are cute. It's a nice village house. Trace
I like the flower pots and the rickety fence offset by the orange Halloween lights. Betsey
