I found this little painted window box in a not otherwise particularly pleasant alleyway in the Shaw/U St area. I enjoy the homeowner’s “Make Your Own Beauty” approach. These painted flowers added color, character, and life to a usually forgotten space. It is little gems like this that make wandering around the city so enjoyable. So hats off to you Mr. Fake Flowerbox Alley Painter Guy, thanks for beautifying our fair city.

   I also love those little isolated spots you can find in a city where someone has put thought and care into an otherwise thoughtless place. But, for the record, with that post title, I was expecting to see something about how you were told to mind your own business. I was hoping a fight ensued.

   And I thought – another unintentional face, this one with a weird droopy mustache!
