The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway is a series of 5 parks through different neighborhoods in Boston. It begins with Chinatown (first two photos) and ends 1.5 miles later at near the North End area. For more information see the Big Dig project and the Greenway. Since you don't see any of old Boston, I've included photos at the end.

Another Lily, Another Change

2011-07-25T11:19:00.001-04:00

Last year, I decided to eliminate the Comments section on this flower blog. My reasoning was simple, I just wanted you to enjoy some photos. However, during the the past 11 months, I continued to receive personal comments from several of you. Today, there were messages from two blogging friends (Carol sent 7 in one email). There was a lot of time and effort put into her comments to me. It was then, I decided to open up the comment section.

Since my most recent post was The Lily, please enjoy Carol B. Steven's Reflection's Flora and Fauna blog, in which she also posted a lovely lily photo today, seen below. Permission was granted for me to post here.

If any of you would like to show your photos here, I would be more than delighted to post your work. Or, if you would like me to link your flower related blog here, just ask.
