A Hot Day at the Ball Field ~ Fenway Park

This way for an exciting and hot day full of baseball!

105 Degrees!

After eating some great food throughout the city, there was no room left

for baseball food, but you could surely have your choice along Yawkey Way!

The Red - I mean 'Green' Monster.

I do wonder why the Boston 'Red' Sox would have a green monster instead of a red one....

Looking for our seats, we came across a red one!

Section 42, Row 37, Seat 21

Good ole Ted Williams managed to slug a ball to this point in 1946 at 502 feet!

It was the longest home run ever hit in Fenway Park.

It's quite the famous seat before and after a game.

America's most beloved park...

What do the Pirates, Phillies, and Orioles fans think?

How about the Yankees?

Or my favorite the Giants?

Wally the green monster was making sure one of the first pitches was good!

I always have a place in my heart for the pitcher...

The Boston skyline was in full flair!

Can't find the ball field?

The CITGO sign is the primary land mark!

Boston walks

A place to call their own!

Massive and stately!

Are all these boats heading out to collect their daily dose of tea in the harbor?

I caught a glimpse of this masterpiece.

Ride a grasshopper, a butterfly, an owl, a sea lion

Faneuil Hall was starting to bustle with activity.

The high temperature of this day topped out at 105 degrees.

These boys have the right idea to stick close to cool water!

Basking in the shade while the splashes of water keep you cool...

The shadows sway and seem to say, 

“Tonight we pray for water,

Cool water.”

And ‘way up there He’ll hear our pray’r 

And show us where there’s water, 

Cool, clear water.

Cast thy bread upon the waters...

Cast thy bread upon the waters

For thou shalt find it

after many days...

Ecclesiastes 11:1

Meaning...

Always be ready to do a good turn even if you don't expect a reward for it. 

For, some day, you will surely find your reward waiting for you

Quincy Market - Boston, MA - Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Does Boston have any history?

Can you spot George Washington?  How about Sam Adams?   

Susan B. Anthony?  Ted Kennedy?

Lunch and a speaker or shopping for the week, it all has happened here and so much more!

Get there early before you can hardly walk this path and stand in line for a bite.

You gotta have some chowda and a lobsta roll when in town!

Double decked seating after you find what suits your taste.

Although I didn't get to relish in a Durgin-Park meal on this Boston outing, I still have to give

it a plug.  As they'll tell you this place was established before you were born!

Grab some grub and be ready to tell them 'what the hell you want', because you'll be asked 

just what that is!

Old State House, Boston, MA

One of my favorite shots in Boston...

Although this is the back side of the Old State House, I still found it 

intriguing With the newer buildings in the background.  

It's like a step in time from the Old State House to the next taller building to the 

higher sky scraper in the far background.

~~Built in 1713 this building has seen its share of history
