A Day in Boston

What a wonderful time to visit Boston. The weather has been sunny and cool. The rain is pretty much confined to after dark hours this week. And the legendary Pilgrim-Roy Quilt Collection is on exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts until the end of July. Random photos here and no comments, other than I didn't take a photo of every quilt . . . but that's because I bought the book.

Lavinia's favourite

My favourite

Bob's favourite

Dale Chihuly installation in the café atrium

A chance to visit with my favorites in the MFA. Frank Benson's Maine summers
in white pinafores . . . 

. . . and pastel dresses.

Dedham Pottery, most famous for their rabbit designs, but I love those turtles.

Saturday Evening Girls pottery painting club sponsored by the progressive Paul Revere Pottery . . .

. . . for young immigrant women through North End settlement houses.

John Smibert's 1738 view of Boston. Thanks to melting ice in Greenland and Antarctica,
 this view may be a look of the future too.

After a ride across town on the Third World public transit system,
a walk down to the refurbished harbor . . . 

. . . past the Children's Museum with Arthur (also a Hingham resident) atop
 and the Boston Tea Party replica boat, to the Hingham Commuter boat and a cruise home.
