Fourth

 

Had I stayed in Boston, I guess I could have attended this live. As it was, though, I watched it on television instead. I was lot drier and more comfortable than if I had been there in person, I'd say. How did you celebrate the Fourth? Or what is your country's equivalent?

Congregational Church

I've passed by this church many times before and admired what appears to me to be its quintessential New England architecture. This time, on the Fourth of July, I finally stopped to take a couple of photographs.

 

Sorrel

 

It may be known as Common Yellow Wood Sorrel to some, but it appeared quite uncommon to me as I ambled along the Norwottuck Rail Trail last week. I thought at first that it must be a kind of shamrock. Then I read this on thespruce.com:

"Wood sorrel is also often confused with shamrocks—another plant in the clover family. Sorrel is sometimes called 'false shamrock,' and during St. Patrick's Day season, it's common to find yellow wood sorrel misbranded and sold as shamrock."
