Well, I finally have some Boston photos to share. We took the train to Boston yesterday. It was our 3rd visit since moving out here. We walked many miles through downtown area, including we walked The Freedom Trail. Got some nice photos. In the following there are various statues, including George Washington and Paul Revere and some beautiful fountains. The duck statues are from the 1940s picture book "Make Way for Ducklings". Always loved that book! The gardens in Boston Commons are gorgeous. So many everywhere. I love the pond there with the Swan Boats. Yes, we rode a Swan Boat too. You can see the little island that the ducks live on...plus two turtles climbing up the plank to the island! Many ducks, birds, and swans were swimming in the pond.
The big ship you see is the USS Constitution...it still is ridden today by tourists!
Enjoy the photos! Keep scrolling down...the photos continue on...many, many photos!

Those ducks were my favorite thing about Boston when I was a kid. Those and the swan boat ride! Must have had a thing for water foul!

Wow eliza Boston looks awesome. I would love to go there one day. The photos are great, thanks for sharing with us. I'm fascinated in the grave stone withe the skull and cross bones, never seen one like that before.

Hugs Jane.

Thanks for sharing these photos.  I LOVE seeing photos of America.  Last time I was there was 10 (long) years ago - we had our honeymoon in California and 10 years before that I visited family in New York.  Must be due for another visit - I would love to show my girls the wonders of America (friendly people and large portions of food!!! - my sort of place  ).

  I wonder if there's a pirate buried under the skull and crossbones!  Probably a normal tombstone decoration, though. 

What fantastic pics  :photo: Thanks for loading so many of them onto here.  Gosh there's lots to see and do in Boston.
