Boston Commons - Walk With Me Through An Overnight Springtime Transformation

When I left work on Friday, the Boston Common was awash with flowers and fresh buds. I thought, how nice, it feels a bit like Spring!

Even Edgar Allen Poe Square was full of flowering branches.

By Monday, things were already lush and green. BOOM! Summertime! (Sorry Springtime fans. You blinked and you missed it!)

The sports fields, for those who are interested in playing sports on fields, now have a covering of grass instead of mud (or snow). (Which reminds me that I'll be spending my weekends mowing the lawn, soon...)

How cool a commute is this?

Even the dead are enjoying the change. Presumably. (I mean, it's not like I could ask them.)

Most exciting of all... snacks!

If it's warm enough for lemonade, you just know things are going to be fine. Also, there'll be a hot-dog vendor not far from here. Or one of those sausage guys. Peppers and onions please...

Hard to believe that this was the scene less that two months ago:

No thanks. Some people claim to love the changing seasons, but as far as I'm concerned, the only thing winter is good for is making people feel happy when it's over. And maybe photography.

How is Spring coming along in your town?

I DO like the seasons. although...I used to change jobs every year or so (my current job, I'm coming up on 8.5 years!). I've been with the same guy for 22+ years (!)...maybe I will soon be that person who wants the same weather every day!? I sure hope not though!
on another note, we're spending friday/saturday in boston this weekend! touring fenway on saturday (ooh...steemit post?) where's your smoke shop again? you there on fridays?

I DO work Friday! Want to get lunch? Jacob Wirth is a German place with the biggest beer selection in Boston. Or there's a really great Greek place? Or anything in Chinatown?

well, i'm at the mercy of others. Jason has planned lunch at some tapas place before meeting up with the rents. I just thought if we happened to be wandering around the section of town where you work, I'd try to get in to say hi, at least. :/

Hope I get to see you today!

:( Well that didn't happen.

Lame :-/

true. next time we are in Boston, i will be sure to get the name and address so that I am sure to find you and say hello...and buy a cigar.

For a second I thought it was some small town in North Europe, very cleaned and silent.
The sun makes a total change, I can see even people in the photos are more smiley!

Yes! Everyone is in a much better mood!

Ah, well, better late than never. As a Steemian, I've discovered I love spring - so many flowers around, I actually managed to take some good pictures even though I'm not praticularly skilled (to say the least!).
