Ahh – now I see what your “Colorful Windows” tease meant on your WW comment! I was thinking I’d find stained glass or something. These are colorful indeed – and maybe they even smell lovely too!
I left a comment about the windows in your post below but I’ll add one here too.
Very nice shots! I’d love to see a flag on the pole.
Your thought for today is priceless.
What beautiful window boxes! The house is beautiful as well. Looks like the sun is shining for you there. I hope some of it comes here soon, it’s been raining for weeks!
In response to your comment at Menagerie – The Color Carnival is still on, you’re just a little early. The post goes up on Friday evenings at 6pm EST. Also, I will no longer be doing a reminder post on Menagerie. It was confusing people. Be ready to link up tomorrow evening and thanks for playing
The white paint makes the flower boxes and blooms stand out. The pinks, reds and whites are a perfection color combination. So simple yet very elegant.
On PS, I had my tutorial hands on by my daughter Zee, and I am the lazy type to read the manual or how-tos.. Maybe it is easy to comprehend, but I’d rather cook dinner than read the tutorial (Giggles).
Thanks for the visit.

Love the colors against the white. Makes winter look and feel very drab here in Australia.

The window boxes are wonderful. One of my favorite memories of Bavaria — window boxes everywhere. Such a pleasant touch!

What a lovely facade, and brightened so beautifully by those colorful flowers. A delight to look upon.

The flowers in the window boxes make these window views regular works of art. They’re justs beautiful.

Lovely window boxes. It’s too hot where I live to have them, it would be a full-time job just to keep them watered!

That’s a lovely window, very bright colors of the flowers and I would always love to take a look on that window if I had those here by my house.
