I mis-timed a visit a couple weeks ago so, I headed back into Boston to try to catch the magnolias again and this time, the timing was pretty good! This series of three is either on Beacon St. or Commonwealth Ave. in the Back Bay neighborhood.
Over in the Public Garden, the cherry blossoms were raining down.
And the swan boats are back plying the calm waters on the lagoon in the Public Garden. These quiet boats are pedal-powered by the operator who sits behind the swan pedaling and steering. They have been in use during the spring and summer months since 1877! Yes, you read that correctly - more than 140 years.
The Emerson Paramount Theatre at Downtown Crossing.
Flowering trees along the Rose Kennedy Greenway with the Intercontinental Boston in the background on Atlantic Avenue.
All told, it was a 3-4 mile walk on a cool spring day - perfect out and about weather. Lunch was in the Seaport District at the all-vegan restaurant, "by Chloe." They have locations in Boston, New York, Providence, Los Angles, and London. Here's a link to their menus.
