We had fun in Boston on Tuesday. Weather-wise, it was a perfect day with temperatures in the low 80's. Our plan was to walk along the Rose Kennedy Greenway to Faneuil Hall and do a couple of things we have talked about every trip to the city. We secured tickets for a cruise of Boston Harbor and then hopped on a City View trolley for an extended afternoon tour of the city. We could hop on and hop off at any of the nine stops. We stopped at the Boston Common for a leisurely stroll among the sun-laced sidewalks. Summer is such a fine time to stop at one of the many benches and eye the swanboats on the pond, and this we did. Later, this lichen-coated fence, surrounding the Boston Public Garden, pleaded for a photo, and I obliged.
Another summer adventure in the books for the Elenka and Birdman Show.
Any teapot crackpots running around?
ReplyDeleteNot I one that I saw. No teabaggin' either.
Deletelichen on a rusty fence is far more interesting than shots of the harbour.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good time was had!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much history in Boston, it would be hard to choose where to stop first. Sounds like you had a grand time.
ReplyDeleteI was quite worried about those old things around always asking me for a photo. Now I see it is normal...
ReplyDeletereally like the close-up of the finials.
ReplyDeleteGo back in winter and take the same shot... :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day. We've done a variation of this in Victoria, B.C., a ferry ride away from home. I think we're due again for such an adventure. The lichen and finials are calling.
ReplyDeleteNo schmaltzy touristy shots for you; your eyes find new old beauty.
ReplyDeleteSuper photo, Birdman. I really need to get up to Boston and see the greenway. You spent your day very well.
ReplyDeleteThe couple you commented about are seen dancing at just about every outdoor event around here. He is much more demonstrative, a real extrovert. I haven't decided if they are a romantic couple or just dancing friends. One of life's mysteries.
Excellent shot!
ReplyDeleteBoston is such a great city. Nice shot of the fence.
