Ruby Tuesday Goes to Boston

I went back over my old files to March when, on a sunny but cool, crisp March day, I visited my daughter who attends Boston University. On these visits, we walk, talk, shop, talk, dine and talk some more. And as always, I take my camera along.  Enjoy!


Getting a good shot of this colorful cyclist, wasn't easily achieved. When he was waiting for the light, there were people and signs in the way and when he took off on green, he flew by me with all the confidence of an urbanite!

My daughter over lunch at Kashmir's, keeping up with the rest of the world via cell phone.
(I have since been corrected by my lovely lass that we had, in fact, been taking turns talking to her sister in California. "I stand corrected, albeit while sitting!"

Nice post! I wish you could visit again and again. We had so much fun that weekend.

My sole complaint is that your caption made it sound like I was on my cell phone just chattering away despite your presence!...I think/hope we were in fact calling Mere together. :-P Love you.

The pictures are wonderful and serve to encourage me not to be fearful of east coast winters when we relocate a bit further north. Boston is only 450 miles from Halifax after all. The photos are wonderful and your daughter is lovely.

Great shots! Boston has so many interesting people and places to photograph. It must be fun to go to college there. Lovely daughter you have! I think that generation has a cell phone glued to their ears!

I lived in Halifax most of life and visited Boston often. These pictures are great. I wish I was there right now, Now that I see the pics

Thank you all so much for taking the time to view and comment on my post.

Anon (who is my daughter, pictured on the cell phone): I have made the correction. Thank you for jogging my failing memory! Love you very much.

Reg: I love Nova Scotia and I've visited Halifax twice now and hope to visit again in the future. My friend Susan, who also commented on this thread, is moving there this summer or fall. Nova Scotia has become a refuge for my partner and me. It is now difficult for us to miss a summer when we don't visit there.

Boston is a fine place to accumulate rubies! Patti and I are going to the Hub on June 19 for a wedding at Faneuil Hall,hotel just across the street. I haven't been in decades, and am looking forward to the visit (and nice weather, I hope :>)

Your daughter is beautiful!

Pagan Sphinx said...

Ralph, I hope you have wonderful weather for the wedding! What a great place to be married. Boston is such a fun city and so pretty and historical. We are very proud of our state capitol. Well, except for the driving! :-)

Regarding my daughter - thank you! She is a very good person, too. And obviously detail-oriented! ;-)

reg said...

O man I have no idea!!!!! I love this riddle though, got me thinking.

Felisol said...

Love your comments, "He flew by me with all the confidence of an urbanite!"
Boston seems to be a cool city, not to modern or too old. What else do I know about Boston,a brilliant shoe shining polish and the Bar Cheers!

Mona Lisa Smiles

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The mysterious half-smile that has intrigued viewers of the Mona Lisa for centuries isn’t really that difficult to interpret, Dutch researchers said Thursday. She was smiling because she was happy — 83 percent happy, to be exact, according to scientists from the University of Amsterdam.
