Shoot Three - Boston!

So, how did you do? Michelle and Mommy Beth knew it was Connecticut! Joani and EMO did check in but didn't offer a guess.


For some reason, Shoot Three didn't happen until May! Not sure what was going on in March and April so that my camera didn't get any kind of a workout?

Taking my camera into Boston is one of my favorite annual activities as there is always something to shoot. In 2014, I made three ventures into the Hub. My main reason for this first trip was the Boston Marathon Memorial set up in the Copley Square Library. They temporary exhibit was coming down to be put back into storage until a more permanent site could be found.

The organizers collected all of the running shoes left behind and made this most interesting arrangement. Many of the shoes had messages written on them. I wonder how many of these people returned for 2014? I'm guessing just about all of them!

Thought for the week. . .

Found these most interesting outlooks on life

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

Here are some interesting facts about one of our fifty states. Do you know which one? This state boasts of:

being the home of author Laura Ingalls Wilder who lived on Plum Creek near Walnut Grove.

                 

being the home of the Hormel Company of Austin which marketed the first canned ham in 1926. In 1937, it introduced Spam. 

having 90,000 miles of shoreline, more than California, Florida and Hawaii combined!

Leaving you with a smile, I hope. . .
