A glimpse of green through an open doorway – a hidden garden or a single tree, cosseted pot plants or self-sown saplings? It’s tempting to venture further for a closer peek.

Green glimpses are a recurring theme in Beyond the Window Box. The weekly Photo Challenge Peek gave me an excuse to look out some past favourites.

nice selection – and my fav is the one with the hidden street with potted plants = because it is also with graffiti and and the man on his device – says so much….

I should share all my “peek” photos through gates in Charleston. I loved looking in at the gardens and fountains.

What a wonderful collection of alleyways, doorways, gateways … all peeking (great take on the challenge) into greenery!
My favourites is the small door within the Green Wooden door! So whimsical!

Thanks for your kind comment. I think the mist adds a sense of mystery to the door in the green door, though the picture doesn’t show how enormous the outer door is!

Such joy! Especially #2, #4 and #6. To find something like these makes one happy for a week. 🙂
