Boston's Emerald Necklace

It looks like today I got a nice inspiration to write. So using it and keep documenting my memories and showing them for you all. I am in heaven to write about those few weeks in America. I visited 3 states (or 4 if counting airports). So list started very fast and hope I can fill it with more in future.
This time I write about a short part of Emerald Necklace in Boston. As we walk, we went to a little part of them.
View from Prudential Center 'Skywalk' of Emerald Necklace. A part we visited first and after that went to Public Gardens in Back Bay Fens. Will write something about in other blog post.
With Claudia Conway drive to Boston, leave car in parking lot and take train to reach center of Boston. Our first stop was Boston Common. Nice green spot with minimum plantings and nice area for sports.
Other nice feature is big gazebo and huge open space for various events. That time there was fence and people make some construction works for concert of something similar to that.
Then cross the road and went to Public Garden. As we like to laugh, that neighbor grass is always greener. So this park is different than visited before. Trees have labels, mulched and have big pond.
And in this pond is small boats for people with swans. So that look very nice. Weeping willow reminds me a waterfalls, or rain drops to water. So natural and simple.
From the past to future. Very nice point of photo. It looks like urban specialists has influence for those high buildings and make empty spot where the sculpture is. So nice.
Mixed flower bed. Some times it is one step from something beautiful to awful. And something make it look not that nice. Those colors and shapes doesn't blend well for me. It is taste and very specific, but this is my blog and my expressions.
I know that this is the most popular view of sculpture. Everyone capture from there. And it look nice.
Focal point to main entrance and park gates. It moves to emerald necklace line to other park (Jewel).
There was a small island in that pond and I noticed it is styled in Japanese or Chinese with specific features. Maybe one day I can recognize both of them and identify this one. At the moment I see it is different. And such detail look nice, because it is separate from all park.
And long way to other park. In perspective it look very nice. But walking is not boring. Streets divide it to different sections and almost every section has sculpture or even two.
One of the impress me very much. I have never seen monument like this. So nice and different. Simple, but not bad.
So this was my view to green spaces in Boston. I wish we could have more time for exploring, but seen more than expect. I will write one more blog from Boston about Community Gardens.
