Photographic Glimpses of Boston

"Bean Town," also known as Boston, has an amazing array of buildings, historical places to visit, flowers, restaurants, offices, and people!

This post has some random photos snapped in and around Boston,  in no particular order.

This is a highly unique sculpture on an apartment balcony. Wonder if he comes inside when it rains.

Here are some attractive flowers and plantings:

Love the old-fashioned light posts.

Attractive churches can be found throughout the city. There's a streak in this photo because it was taken through a window from inside the car.

Attention Sam Adams beer fans----here's a statue of old Sam, himself!

Last, but not least, here are some colorful nails of a woman who loves Boston:

 

HAVE YOU BEEN TO BOSTON? IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?

Chocolate Heaven Right Here on Earth

For most people, what would a holiday be without chocolate?

Easter is a prime example.

Hasn't everyone held a chocolate bunny in hand and bitten first into the ears? 

There's a shop in the Western Massachusetts town of Great Barrington that has honed the art chocolate making to near perfection. We are not talking about normal, run-of-the-mill chocolate but, rather, melt-on-the-tongue and go crazy with delight chocolate. It's called Catherine's Chocolates.

Walking into this shop at Easter time  becomes a powerfully intoxicating experience.

On hand are dozens of chocolates of every imaginable flavor, shape, and size.

There are  beautifully decorated eggs with colorful flowers put together by the owner's niece.

Edible bunnies rule part of the roost. There are peanut butter bunnies; white chocolate bunnies; milk chocolate bunnies; cellophane wrapped bunnies; lolly pop bunnies, and foil wrapped bunnies, to name just a few on hand.

The shop has carrots that children everywhere would go crazy for because they are made out of chocolate.

Inside the delightful shop one will also find Easter baskets galore, filled with more chocolate.

Prefer fudge to chocolates?  There's plenty of that, too. Or how about some jelly beans or candy fruit slices? Both can be found in abundance.

Outside the shop, a giant-sized pink Easter bunny beckons visitors.  After a stop at this little bit of chocolate heaven,  it would be impossible to escape having a happy Easter.
