Public Garden

Every year we look forward to the tulips at the beautiful Public Garden. Enjoy these pictures (couple of weeks old) I took at the garden.

There is another garden called Boston Common which is described as very pastoral and practical according to the city's website. It goes on to say both were designed and created two centuries apart while Boston Common being America's first park and Public Gardens its first botanical garden.

There is something always blooming here and always looks romantic with a small pond with a brightly painted bridge over it and willows surrounding the pond.

Tulips






Willows

Dogwoods

Flowers of a vine that I couldn't identify


Have a great week ahead.

Spring Cheer

Here is a collection of photos I took over last couple of weeks recording the arrival of spring in all its colorful glory.

Exuberant - magnolias mark a definite arrival of spring erasing any lingering winter grayness


Youth - i didn't know how to describe this photograph other than something that represents youthfulness

Hope - the day I took this photograph was when those tornadoes struck causing damage and loss of life

Happy - what other emotion would cherry blossoms evoke other than cheer?

Delicate - granted these are wild and widespread but have a beauty of their own




Rubies - love these crab apple flowers (I think) just about to burst open

Sunny - we bought this plant (Ornithogallum) at a nursery and it is producing these orange flowers like california poppies


Hope you are all having a nice time and enjoying sunny outdoors. Happy Mother's Day in advance.
