Fall, Downtown, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Surprisingly, I encountered some great fall color on this mid-November visit to downtown Boston - the above image was in Leventhal Park at Post Office Square.



On the Boston Common. Dating from 1634, it is the oldest city park in the United States and is crisscrossed with broad pedestrian avenues like this one.

Humans aren't the only ones who get to enjoy the Common. An unfenced but designated area is set aside for unleashed dogs (well-behaved) to run free and have fun with their furry-friends and the occasional tennis ball.



Across the street from the Common, the Public Garden is equally delightful to wander through or just hang out.



The Public Garden lagoon is popular for ducks or the iconic swan boats during warm weather or skating in the cold of winter.



"Boston Strong" is a motto that became popular following the 2013 Boston Marathon terrorist bombing. These letters are knitted fabric and attached to one of the ball field backstops on the Boston Common.
