More Week End Wandering


"Everywhere is within walking distance
if you have the time."
Steven Wright

The word of the day?
Boston!
Today was for walking...
...from Copley, down Boyleston St. to the Public Gardens and back up Newbury St. to the Prudential Center.
Another Saturday with no schedule.
Just made for a long walk.

 Here's the Trinity Church, the pointy, old John Hancock building and the shiny, new John Hancock building.

 Don't you love how these reflections wiggle a bit in between panes of glass?

Another reflection, more wiggle.

 The best thing about today? Sharing so much time with my guy - playing tourist, talking...

 He was so patient with all my picture taking...and even did a little of his own!

Don't you just LOVE this glass tower? 
It seems to change shape as you walk around it.
And, from every angle, the city's history is brilliantly reflected back for us. 

Heading down toward the public garden, I had to snap this shot - since I found an obvious #5.


Though the grounds in the garden were still snow covered, 
up in the trees we saw buds, heard lots of chirping birds and noticed birds that were snacking on berries.
Sure signs of spring!


And, as all good tourists do, we rewarded ourselves with some freshly baked cookies...
...all tourists do that, right?



Linking up for the Scavenger Hunt with Ashley

  8. I love Boston and how in and around Market Square there is a harmony of historic with contemporary - largely through reflection. Thank you for the trip back.

  13. gosh, if you are walking in the snow, you should be rewarded with a cookie with your afternoon tea or coffee. Loved all the pictures of the buildings in Boston... I even recognize some of them (having only been there three times - for a day trip). Great post.

  15. What a nice post, walking with your guy playing tourist. I did that recently in my own home town with my hubby and it's amazing how taking pictures of your own home town can be so much fun when you act like you have never been there before. :) All great pictures, and wonderful interpretations! Good job!
