    While vacationing on Mount Desert Island in Maine, I was taken by all the window boxes around the island. Here is a sampling of them.

    What lovely floral displays!! It looks as though almost every house and shop had one or more. They would even cheer up a rainy day with their beautiful colours wouldn't they?
    I love the eighth one with the sunburst behind the planter and the white bridge over the water.

    Many thanks for sharing all your beautiful photographs with us.

    I like the sunburst one a lot. They really brighten a location up. Thanks for posting Cayuga.

    Thanks everybody. I was so struck as we walked around how many flower boxes there were everywhere. There were also alot of dog bowls for water as well, just sitting out on the stoops!

    Whoever designed that bridge was brilliant.

    Thanks for sharing. They were all beautiful. I had to go back through and find the sunburst....I didn't even notice that, I noticed the impatiens and they were my favorite of all the photos also.
