We spent our Saturday in Boston over the Labor Day weekend and I decided to look a bit touristy and take pics that I wanted to take! LOL! I know I've lived here forever, but seriously...the place has so many wonderful shots just begging to be taken! Here are a few photos that I took that day...
The City
China Town Map...on the ground, of course.
Bamboo growing in Boston...yeah...since that is a native Massachusetts crop! LOL! It is wicked cool, though!
Buskers!
One of the best sites in the city! LOL!
I was SO excited when I saw the Farmer's Market in full force! I snapped a bunch of pics because I just LOVE the color!!!
We noticed something odd in this cemetery. Some stones had skulls and others had angels...do you think those were predictions of sorts?
My future home! HA! If only....
Bridge Shots! I love the lines and the colors and contrast in this one!
I {HEART} this sign!!! Isn't it just fabulous???
Old Ironsides
Me! I love the background of this shot!
Great shots! I love Boston! Interesting side note on the skulls and winged skulls ... they're called memento mori which in Latin basically means "remember you are mortal" and the skulls were common in the 1700s. Angels started replacing the skulls as headstone images more in the 1800s.
