One of my favorite things about New England is the amazing architecture of it's old churches. In driving around my little town and the towns surrounding it...there are so many examples of the churches that give New England it's charm and character. I took the following pictures all within about a 10 mile trip from my home.
These next two are in Boston.jpg)
I can't take credit for the photograpy of these final two (not that you couldn't tell since none of the power lines are showing)...they are in Vermont, and were just to pretty to not include them.
I hope you all have beautiful Sunshine!..well tomorrow I mean...since it's night and if it were bright and sunny...well that would be just plain weird.
And remember to SMILE :]

My daughter and I traveled to Boston this past spring, and the architecture was out of this world! Of course, she and her friends were more interested in the Duck Boat rides and seeing "Blue Man Group"!!! hahaha!

So many lovely Churchs , great pictures .

Hi Nikki:

Thanks for visiting our blog. I guess you noticed it's under construction like twin1's house. I checked it today and called her at work to tell her someone came in a stole our blog friend list. She said it happen while she was trying to spruce up the place. She's the one with all the computer knowledge so I know I'm not pushing any buttons. I'd probably erase the whole thing! I'll have my daughter look at it after school. Those teenagers are wizzes on the computer!
Hi Nikki :)
Gorgeous pictures! Of all my favorite pieces of architecture, churches are on the top of the list. My aunt was married in the oldest church in boston, the North Church (I think) when I was 16 and all I can remember is how gorgeous it was inside.
hugs,
rue
Beautiful!
My sister lives in Norwell, so I am up your way on occasion. I love that area~ except Sept-March!!
Ohh Nikki.......love the church tour...simply breathtaking. I got to go through a bit of Ny, Connecticut, and Pennsylavania and I would love to go back. Your doggies are soooo cute. cherry
What amazingly beautiful pictures! I am so drawn to architecture and especially the old churches. They are so lovely. Thank you for sharing. By the way, when you have time stop by. I have something for you on my blog.
Beautiful pics, Nikki...I haven't been back to New England in about 7 years...I so need to plan another trip out there!
P.S. What fitting music too...love Josh Groban.
Hi Nikki, Those churches are beautiful, New England looks wonderful, I have read a lot about it but havent been yet and "you raise me up" is one of my all time faves, great post and you are sooo funny. hugs, Kathy.
Psst...Nikki...didn't realize you were also on Decorpad. Love Suzie and her fab site...I'll look for you now!
Hi Nikki,
Your pictures are so pretty...not at all boring! Thanks for taking the time to show them!

Hi Nikki, You didn't bore me at all. We don't have much of that type of architecture out west so it is a treat for me to see those photos.
I look forward to seeing more of New England anytime you want to "bore" me!

beautiful churches!!! I love the last one! Blessings, Nancy
Hey Nikki...beautiful buildings girl!!!!! That is amazing that they are within 10 miles of you..I especially loved the ones from Vermont though...oh that countryside looks fabulous! Thanks so much for coming by and for such a sweet comment my friend..hope you had a great day and that the rest of the week goes beautifully for you.
These are just stunning pictures! I love pictures of old churches with steeples and in my imagination, I can hear the church bells ringing!

Nikki, I have been to Boston, I LOVED that city... not sure how close you are to there but it is gorgeous!!! I would love to go back, I have pics of those 2 beautiful buildings too!!!
THANK YOU for always visiting and making such fun sweet comments on my blog, you make my day!!! You have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many comments you may not even know I wrote, LOL... I love your blog!
I love the pictures!! I want to give you a personal invitation to Screaming Meme's Faux School~ I'm teaching a continual class on different faux techniques! So, get to class ...your late! :)
LOL CALM DOWN GIRL! hehehe We only saw two trees all day like that! LOL There are always a few stray maples that tease us so early. I do think you will have to go WAY up north to get much color in two weeks. Too bad they didn't wait!
Everything is so beautiful! I just love the east coast. We are so architecturally deprived here in California. I've always thought that deep down inside I was meant to live on the east coast. Someday...
I had to stop back see those churchs again . I never read any thing by , Gordon B Hindkley but have seen his picture on my good friend's wall . One thing I respect and wish more people did is Family Night .
Her and I have had some fun with the greenies , she's a big tease so she colors every thing green for their first meal at her home . Her and I don't go to the same church but we're great friends . She calls me Mary Menninite
Have a great evening friend , Mary
