A Glimpse of Boston (and Maine!)

I spent the last week on the east coast in Boston (taking a day trip together up to southern Maine), visiting a friend from my college days. I have to say that I fell in love with Boston - it's beautiful and feels sophisticated (but also welcoming and friendly). There is so much character in all the buildings there, if you're not paying attention you're probably missing some interesting architecture or unique wrought iron gate design.

Here are some of the more artsy shots I got on my trip - enjoy!
walking down Newbury Street, which is actually where my friend was living
typical ivy creeping up a beautiful brick building
 
flowers blooming on a fence along Marlborough Street

a corner in the Boston Public Library - this building was so full of beautiful!
sitting on a stretch of low wall on the Harvard campus near the Natural History Museum, I accumulated a few feathery friends
swan boats in the Boston Public Gardens
Boston Harbor
Boston Harbor
Long Sands Beach in southern Maine (York)
looking down the stretch of beach
other end of the beach
watching the ocean beat against the rocks
beautiful waves rolling in
looking out at a sailboat on the water
looking out at the Nubble Lighthouse from the beach
we drove up to get closer to the lighthouse, when the seagull flew by I couldn't have asked for a more perfect shot!

I had a wonderful trip - had beautiful weather the whole time and it was wonderful to see my friend. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
