Annapolis Junction, Maryland
I went walking each morning we were in Maryland, and of course, I had my camera across my shoulder as well as my iPhone in my hand. I found this sculpture very interesting and took some photos of it. It is called INTERPLACE by Michael Szabo (2012). As I was walking back to our hotel I was stopped by a policeman and he asked me if I had been taking photos. I told him I had and talked about the cool birds and sculpture I had seen. He asked me if I had taken any photos of the buildings. NOPE, HA! HA! NSA was right across the street from our hotel. I guess I looked like a spy!
Taken with an iPhone 5s.

Boston, Massachusetts
Last Fall, while visiting Boston, we walked the 2 1/2 mile Freedom Walk. It is a physical brick line that passes many historic sites. It was educational, inspiring and wonderful, as we gained a greater appreciation for our country. I highly recommend the Freedom Trail if you are ever in Boston!

USS Constitution
Boston, Massachusetts
The USS Constitution is the world’s oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat, launching in 1797. In 2016 we were able to walk around the USS Constitution while she is in dry dock and as skilled people work to restore her. As we walked around I thought, if only she could speak, what stories she could tell!

The Old State House is a historic building that was built in 1713, it was the seat of the Massachusetts General Court until 1798, and is one of the oldest public buildings in the United States. Last year when we visited Boston we passed it as we walked along the Freedom Trail. This photo shows the old surrounded by the new.

The seat of government for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State House was completed in 1789. Last year, while visiting Boston, we walked the Freedom Trail, a 2.5 mile route that covers many historic sites including the State House. We really ENJOYED walking the Freedom Trail and learning more about our countries history!

Old North Church
Boston, Massachusetts
It was in this tower of the Old North Church that the signal was sent out, “one if by land, and two if by sea”, one lantern or two would tell how the British were coming from Boston. At midnight on April 18, 1775, the ride of Paul Revere began, as he warned the citizens that the British were coming. This preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution.
