Most houses in Philly don't have yards, so when it's spring people show off their green thumbs via elaborate window boxes. It makes going for walks up and down random side streets very pleasant this time of year.

Not sure what this is, but it looks neat |

Not a window box, but still pretty |
There are also lots of community gardens scattered throughout the city, which also make for nice scenery.

This one is right by the Schuylkill |
The only downside to this season is Philly's abundance of Callery Pear Trees, which have a c
ertain distinct and unfortunate smell when they flower. Happily, my spring allergies usually make me too congested to be bothered by it.
