City Windows...Paris

I love the many ways the French get creative

about dressing up their street-level windows.

Big city living can be a challenge

and when there's not much of a balcony for greenery, 

or a way to keep peering eyes from the street level out,

they use what they can. 

A little window box goes a long way

when the soul needs transport. 

And then, of course, there are the upper level window boxes... 

And everywhere you look, beauty upon beauty. 

So many windows, so little time!
