Boston Common 1634 And Boston Public Garden 1837

Boston Common founded 1634. See Wikipedia site.







37,000 Flags for Memorial Day in Boston.





Location of both the Common and the Public Gardens.


Boston Public Garden founded 1837. See Wikipedia site.
 "In July 2004 a memorial was dedicated to the 206 people from Massachusetts who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Designed by Victor Walker, it is located just inside the Public Garden, at the corner of Arlington and Newbury Streets." (Wikipedia information.)
Close-up photos and names of all individuals may be seen at my blog HERE.

The gardens are beautiful in the spring. I'm partial to the tulips.





The Swan Boats, of course.

Famous Swan Boats.

Real swans, Romeo and Juliet.

The gardens in the summer.
