Boston - My home town!

I came across this photo collection doing a search for magnolia trees.

The photographer has truly captured a good corner of what makes Boston such a fabulous destination.

The city just gets better and better. The Charles River, the ever growing Seaport area......just a fabulous city to visit.

I love your hometown. Great pictures. I had always wanted to go to Boston and finally got the chance. It is my favourite destination. Loved it!! We stayed at the Westin in Back Bay and it couldn't have been a better time. Lucky you..

I visited Boston for the first time at the end of November and LOVED it. The history, architecture, food...terrific. I hope to visit again in the springtime.

Great pictures! Boston is my hometown too. dmlove, I'm not certain but the Back Bay fall pics were probably taken from the Pru.

Yes, my home town is lovely. I have to laugh at calling Newbury Street's Rodea Drive. I worked for the lady who coined that. There's a corner by Clarendon dedicated to her. At the time there were only a few boutiques and Designer shops but she wanted the traffic and got it.

Rodeo!
The walk along the Charles in summer is fun to watch the sail boats, runners, nannies, dogs, bikers, skate boarders and the sun bathers, gay and straight sections.
The walk across the bridge into Cambridge gives you excellent views of the city scape. Let's hope the Canadian Geese aren't eating up the grass this year!

Yes, a fantastic slide show of a couple of wonderful hoods in Boston. Perhaps the artist will capture the growing seaport area.

Looking forward to the Magnolia Blooms!
