Balconies

On a recent morning walk around the 'hood, I decided to take pictures of balconies and see what people are doing with them. This one's not great, not terrible. But I think we can do better . . .

OK, this one's just sad. Perhaps a fake plant is better than a dead one. Looks like one person would be in the other person's face. Too aggressive for balcony sitting, in my opinion.

Possibly my favorite . . .

One option is to do absolutely nothing.

One of my favorites. A real plant and bistro chairs with personality!

I like the bistro set, but I'm deducting points for the fake orange flowers.

Not a bad attempt, but the plants are fake, so the greens will turn more and more turquoise.

And finally, my own false balcony outside my laundry room. A little spindly, but at least the geraniums are real.
