    Great walk VP. The "slightly" out of control vegetation is an understatement. ;)

    These are great! Not a very threatening bomb.

    This walk sure has variety! My favorite today is the blue fishing boat detail.

    I would enjoy having one of the cement planting boxes on my patio...the blue and red of the boat is very appealing to me...a nice almond granita is calling my name...somebody has an alarming sense of humor (accidently dropped a bomb?)...lovely arch! Excellent photos!

    That out of control vegetation reminds me of one particular place in Versailles! I'm amazed that the oh so white plant containers are... so white!

    This is such a wonderful walk, again...

    Always interesting to see what you will come up with on your promenades. That bomb was a bit of a surprise.

    Ugh! My comment just got eaten.
    I like the colors of that fishing boat, although I"m not sure what that thing is for. I also like the overgrown vegetation. Much nicer than over grafittied areas. :)

    The vegetation out of control reminds me of a few gardens here. :)
