Nice photos Puffle!  Its good to see people like yourself interested in our local history. |
So those are crabtrees? Coming from California we do not have trees like this that flower and smell great so I am totally unfamiliar with what I am admiring and if these flowers eventually just become leaves or stay flowery?
I have so much pride in the Massachusetts and the neighboring states and love American history, especially Yankee American history that I just can't get enough of it. I believe you could spend years here trying to soak up all the history and visiting all the historic sites. We've only just begun! |

There are leaves now, you just cant see them with all that profusion of flowers. After the flower petals drop, the fruit will start to eventually grow.
Heres a great resource to look at..... TreeHelp.com: Trees: Species: Crabapple
I have a great interest in American history as well, haveing spent countless hours over the years at various sites not only around but out west during my vacation time. |

The last group of pics I took were taken in one afternoon walking around Boston and Cambridge. I finally brought my little digital with me. So many opportunities for beautiful pics to be taken...just need a hundred years to do it!
