PICNICING ON PATRIOTS DAY

Granville, MA - This nice couple allowed me to photograph them while on a picnic in Granville Gorge with their dog Coco. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Patriots Day is a holiday. As you can see it was a bright sunny day.

Patriots Day commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord which were fought on April 19, 1775. It is in these battles that Paul Revere and William Dawes rode to awaken the country; Samuel Prescott joined them enroute. Paul Revere was captured and Dawes and Prescott got away. So, it is not Paul Revere that should get credit but Dawes and Prescott.
