Many planters looked like this in downtown Boston today on my wander about.
I planned and dressed for about 70 degrees F but it turned out to be almost 90. Oh well, I still got in 10,000+ steps so all was good. This typical scene is in the Public Garden - an accordion-playing busker, many pedestrians ambling along, and the statue of George Washington on a horse.
Another view of George Washington on his horse. This variety, allium, has replaced the gazillion tulips that were blooming in early May. (At this link)
Al fresco dining on Boylston Street is back in full force. I, too, sat out and ate a sandwich at a vegan cafe, "by Chloe," and enjoyed some people watching.
Boston is a musical town, and being treated to this saxophone quartet in the Public Garden is a delight. Note in the background, someone is putting on his mortarboard for graduation pictures as a swan boat passes behind in the lagoon.

The iconic swan boats are pedal-powered and quietly cruise the lagoon - very popular for tourists.

......to Central Square in Cambridge to view this popular public graffiti art display.
The iconic South Station is a rail/subway/bus transportation center and has been around since 1898.
The previous mural has been replaced along the Rose Kennedy Greenway on the vent building. The main highway through Boston, I-93, passes underneath this 1.5 mile green right-of-way leaving the surface mostly quiet with art and nature. A couple previous murals.......
