And some more!



This above is a shot of the 300-year-old Japanese Stone Lantern, presented to the United States in 1954, by Sadao Iguchi, the Japanese Ambassador, given to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Treaty of Peace, Amity and Commerce between the United States and Japan in 1854.  The The National Cherry Blossom Festival officially is opened by the lighting of the Lantern.

Cherry Blossoms at Sunrise (4/2/10)

On Saturday I took shots of the Cherry Blossoms at sunrise--through the Washington DC Photo Safari workshop. Every day this week I'll update the blog with some of the pictures I took!

These first few each include the Jefferson Memorial--but I only used it as the subject of my shot in the last photograph, which is why the building in the last one is much more in focus!

11 things you MUST do in Boston!!


All of these are just my opinion, of course... There are plenty of experts - but these are just based on my own experience!

  1. Take in a game at Fenway Park. It was a perception altering experience... Almost spiritual :-)
  2. Faneuil Hall Market Place
  3. Cheers (the original ... but for the history, not the food!)
  4. Boston Aquarium. Turtles and fish and sharks - oh my!

  5. Freedom Trail
  6. Boston Photowalk. Lots of history and great shots.

  7. Kingfish Hall. My new favorite restaurant of all time.
    You MUST order the New England Lobster Boil. (Appetizers - the calamari was excellent. Dessert - the chocolate tort was mind-blowing.) Be prepared to spend the big bucks, but it is absolutely phenomenal.
  8. Tour Sam Adams Brewery. But call ahead! When we got there, it was a 3 hour wait. So we toured the reception area instead.
  9. Boston Common - it's beautiful
  10. Good Bar. A fantastic local bar - it kind of became OUR own personal Cheers.
    183 State Street
  11. Blue Man Group. Hilarious and great show :-)
