Suburban Nightmare

So, it's Easter, and I decided head out to the suburbs to spend some Easter-time with an old friend's family.  Well, there's a few hours available before dinner, so I decide to go walk about and take some photos.  But, everything is exactly the same - same houses, same lawns, same people.  I couldn't find any inspiration at all.

What does everybody else do when you're caught adrift in a sea of look-alike houses?  How do you find beauty?
