I'm catching up with a day I missed. May Day was cold and gray in Boston, and I was wearing my winter jacket again. On my way to an event downtown, I spent quite a bit of time in the Public Garden, where it was gray and a bit misty. There were few people around and the swan boats weren't running because of the cold.
I had an enchanting time walking the paths all around the garden, with the cherry and apple trees and the beds of tulips all in bloom. The one thing I don't like is those shaped bushes (upper right) that look like giant gum drops, but that's part of the design of the park.
It was one of my favorite days this spring in the Public Garden, with the quietness, the squirrels, the greenery, and the exhilaration of flowering and blossoming.
