Greetings, dubstepped:
Please, feel free to overwhelm us with the beauty of your small world! I am pleased that you are pleased at having found this thread. Your descriptive writing has me right there in your own neighborhood. BEAUTIFUL!
Although my world is somewhat larger than what you have described (I live in a gated community, located near a mountain range in California, U.S.A.), I sometimes feel closed in since travel beyond is limited. Nevertheless, I think and imagine "big," which allows my armchair travels or those out on the safe streets here to be rather expansive.
Many thanks.
