The weather was great this morning, so we decided to go for a stroll around our estate. Previously we didn't venture too far as the weather was always too cold to move around, but now that spring is really upon us, the timing is just perfect!
We actually headed to the park near our apartment as the flowers had started to bloom and it was beautiful. But when we ventured deeper into the park, we found that it was really more than that. Apparently the site is also a war memorial of sorts to remember the Bostonians who served in the military and died in service to the nation in WWII, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War.
The majestic pictures you see below are from the memorial for WWII.
Here are some shots of the memorials erected to commemorate the war dead for Korea and Vietnam...
The pictures below are taken from a Japanese temple bell that was presented to the officers from the visiting American vessel The USS Boston some hundreds of years ago. The bell symbolizes prosperity and friendship, and we were amazed by the Chinese characters inscribed onto its sides, so we decided to capture it...
The rest of the pictures are the scenic view of this garden at Fenway... plus a family photo of some of the natives of the land. They seem quite benign when it comes to a curious visitor trying to squeeze in some photo shots, but careful! Don't get too near or they will actually become aggressive and snap at you.
Yup... we call this our own little secret garden at Fenway... we hope you liked the tour!
