Also just want to let everyone know I will not have internet access for the next week so I will not be able to visit or comment on your blogs. I have setup my blog to auto-post some photos over the next week though so if you want to stop by it is always appreciated!
Taking a little break from the Tall Ships for a bit. This also is from Boston it is from the lobby of a modern art museum right by the water. See if you can find me in one of the mirrors! 
This is the fifth photo in my Boston Tall Ships 2009 series. Here are some of the smaller Tall Ships as seen through this poem on glass entitled “New England Ode”.
A view of Boston Harbor from the back of the Tall Ship Mircea. This is the fourth photo in my Boston Tall Ships 2009 series.
The third picture in my Boston Tall Ships 2009 series. Here is a sailor observing the scene and large crowds while aboard his ship. In the background you can see the Tall Ship Mircea that I posted a photo of last time.

This it the first photo in my Boston Tall Ships 2009 series. Yesterday I went to the 2009 Boston Tall Ships event in Boston, MA. There were over 40 of these tall ships from around the world docked all around Boston that you can look at and tour. Sadly because of budget cuts there was no “Parade of Sails” this year so there was no opportunity to see these boats under sail. 
Still was a great event though! The Tall Ships will be in Boston until July 13th so if you are in the area I recommend checking them out! I will be posting more photos from the Tall Ships event over the coming days so stay tuned!
Here is some info about the ship:
Name: Sagres
Homeport: Lisbon, Portugal
Rig: Barque
Sparred Length: 293’ 6″
Draft: 17’
Beam: 39′ 6″
Hull: Steel
I took this photo on July 4th at Salisbury Beach in Salisbury MA. I could not decide if I should crop out the beach next to the wall or not but I finally decided to leave it.
Some kids playing with Sparklers at the beach while waiting for the July 4th Fireworks to start.
Today is Independence day in the US and I just want to wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July!
Well its the week of July 4th and here in MA it has been one of the rainiest and coldest Junes I can remember! I thought this photo was appropriate considering the dreary weather.
