Grey & Green

I really like the dramatic look of the clouds over The United First Parish Church  (Church of the Presidents) in Quincy Center.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

The Arnold Arboretum, pictured here, remains one of the finest examples of a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.

United First Parish Church

The bell tower of this National Historic Landmark in Quincy Center was recently restored.  This church building is considered to be one of the finest standing Greek Revival church buildings in New England.  It was designed by noted architect Alexander Parris, who also designed Quincy Market in nearby Boston.  Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams are buried here with their wives.  This magnificent building was made of Quincy granite and completed in 1828.

I also included a little spring green for "Earth Day".  Go outside and enjoy!

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
