One of the things I’ll miss about Boston

As I prepare to leave Boston in a week I have started to think about some of the things I’ll miss.  Back in 2006, when I was getting ready to move I knew I would be in history and sports heaven.  However, I didn’t know that I would also enjoy the flowers here.  It was a wonderful surprise.  Here are some of the flowers I have enjoyed over the years.  I hope you like them.  And I hope I remind someone of you to stop and smell the flowers.

    Excellent photos !

    Oh, thank you, TBM – these are SO beautiful. You will be pleased, though, to see the gardens in the UK. I have never seen such tender pride taken in little cottage gardens, and it seems like every village has its own award for best garden.

    • TBM says:

      I am looking forward to seeing their gardens, and cottage gardens sounds so quaint. I’ve read so much about them in novels and history books and now I will find out. I’ll do my best to share. I’m counting on you to post some photos from Colorado so I don’t get too homesick.

  3. Such lovely flowers. I am sure you will be sending us beautiful shots of the beautiful UK gardens. I am looking forward to your move.

    • TBM says:

      Thank you. I’ll do my best to share new photos from London. I am really looking forward to the move as well. What I can’t wait for is to have it all done, unpacked, and have my life back to normal. Soon!

    Lovely. I had no idea from the title I was in for such a visual feast.
    But don’t be downhearted; there are many many flowers in London. Get yourself over to Columbia Road market one morning, and don’t forget your camera.
    BTW I have a good friend who used to live in a flat in the same part of Boston as you do.

    • TBM says:

      Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing the flowers in London. I’ll add Columbia Road market to my list. Boston is a fun town. I hope your friend enjoyed it.

    Amazing flowers and amazing photos, nice work! 😀

    Lovely photos! I adore flowers. But England is so lush and green and has some of the most famous gardens in the world, you will see, you will find a lot of lovely flowers there as well.
    For me England represents one huge garden, it has by far my favourite landscape.

    • TBM says:

      I like that, England is one huge garden. I can’t wait to see it! I also love flowers. Nature is an amazing part of my life. I can never get enough.

    These flowers are so beautiful and you captured them so nicely… How nice, you made us to feel as we are in a flowers garden. This is amazing. But I am so glad to hear that you are going to UK. UK is a beautiful country with her landscape… My heart still is there, I was in Devizes, Wiltshire… I fall in love with this area… Everywhere is full of flowers… Flowers dancing in there. But a little note, I recommend you to visit especially this very famous village, Lacock! I loved it so much… and the museum too, especially the photography exhibition of Bernard Shaw… You can check on internet… Thank you and Have a nice journey, Blessing and Happiness, with my love, nia

    • TBM says:

      Hi Nia! Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to add Lacock to my list of things to see. I’m hoping we will have many years there so I can see all the things I want to see. I’m pretty excited to get over there and to get settled.

  10. TBM says:

    Thanks Seasweetie! Even though my first 13 years were in California, when I miss home, I miss Colorado. I think my memories of California are fading which is sad, but I am getting older.

  11. Fergiemoto says:

    Best wishes on your new adventure! I’ve enjoyed my visits to the UK and will be looking forward to seeing your experiences and postings unfold.

  12. Carol says:

    How beautiful. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of flowers to stop and smell in the UK.

    • TBM says:

      I hope so. I hear they have wonderful gardens! Another thing to get excited about.

      • niasunset says:

        Yes, they have so many beautiful gardens. I am a member of a British photography forum, how beautiful… And also I Iove the art in these gardens… Especially the sculptures… What a great harmony nature world and human world. By the way, In Salisbury, in the garden of the famous Salisbury Cathedral (it is amazing), there are some art/sculptures… They are so nice too. Anyway, I am excited as you now 🙂 Good Luck and Bon Voyage… Thank you, with my love, nia

    What beautiful flowers!

  14. EvilPoet says:

    So many types of flowers. They are wonderful! It’s understandable that you’ll miss them. But as it was pointed out – you get to explore a whole new world of flowers! Every beginning has an end. Every end, a new beginning. 😀

  15. The Hook says:

    Boston must be one gorgeous place! No wonder you’ll miss it.

  16. Jo Bryant says:

    I am so glad that you took those photos – they are stunning

  17. Robin says:

    Wow! That is an amazing and stunning collection of flowers. 🙂

  18. Novroz says:

    Beautiful flowers,I like 019 and 083 the most.
    Your shots remind me that I haven’t shot flowers in ages.
    I bet you’ll see more beautiful flowers in London 😉
