window boxes

 we spent the day up north yesterday visiting several cities, and i wanted to share some of the most beautiful window boxes that line the streets.  the majority of shops along the main street in Charlevoix, Michigan seem to have the most beautiful arrangements of flowers and plants.

here are some of my favorites.  the one to the right has a sign that says, "spit pits here."  this window box is outside of the cherry republic gourmet food shop, where they sell many cherry products.

some of the window boxes have mostly plants, while others feature beautiful blooming flowers.
