I have minimal knowledge in plants and flowers, so please let me know if you can identify any!

| A tree with flowers outside where I live (Tang Hall). Below are some close-ups. | These flowers can be found at many places on campus; this is at the track. |
 |

|
|
| A warm and sunny afternoon. | Main Street, next to my department, is filled with these trees! The feeling of spring (春天的氣息) emanates from these little white flowers. |
|
|
 |
 |
| The trees line the sidewalk! | If only every day was like this. |
|
|
| Don't you wish your Sunday afternoon was spent here? | |
 |
 |
| If you're tired of flowers, this would be a nice break. | |
|
|
| Crossing the Longfellow Bridge over to Boston. Given the frequency of T trains, it is not often that you see two trains stopped at the Red Line MGH! | Three ways to cross the bridge: T, car, and walking. |
 |
 |
| A view from the bridge. | More trees with white flowers on Storrow Drive! |
|
|
 |
 |
| This one almost looks like a Christmas tree. | Its branches are so abundant with flowers. |
|
|
| Viewing the Boston side of the Charles River. | I would like to go sailing on the Charles in the sunset some fine day. Planning to learn over summer! |
|
|
| A tree along the banks of the Charles, filled abundantly with large pink flowers! | Squirrels like the flowers too! |
|
 |
| The flowers look fabulous in the sunset. | Hopefully my photography skills will improve to capture their true beauty some day. |
|
|
| Doesn't this make you want to relax on the bench? | Human + best friend enjoying nature. |

The plaque reads: "The trees were presented... as a symbol of friendship
and goodwill between the people of Massachusetts and Japan
by the International Cultural Association of Japan... May 11 1985."
Thank you! We all appreciate their beauty. |

|
| The artificial waterways are very pleasant. | |
|
|
| An interesting Arthur Fiedler bust. Boston loves its music, especially the Boston Pops Orchestra. | Families enjoying on the deck. Near the setting sun is the MIT Dome and the Green Building. |

|
| The duck seems so carefree. | More elegance along the river. |
|
|
| Doesn't this look like a scene from some TV drama? | More views of the trees on the 'island'. |
|
|
| Couples enjoying the sunset. | What an appropriate usage for an interestingly shaped tree! |
|
 |
| More trees filled with large pink flowers, outside McCormick Hall. | Such young, budding flowers! |
|
|
|
The plaque reads: "The Class of 1985 Common - A gift of the MIT class of 1985."
Thanks you! It is a wonderful garden. |
According to a sign on the trees, these flowers are star magnolia. One detects a sweet scent under these trees. |
