In Sight, April/May 2008

I haven't been writing, but I have been taking photos. Here are some:


Travis is wicked cute.


Shopping for books in Downtown Crossing at one of New England's oldest bookstores.


On Beacon Street, the day before the marathon.


About 25,000 people ran the Boston Marathon this year.






Springtime in Boston is absolutely beautiful. ("Did you know there are actually four distinct seasons?" asked the man from Florida, where the two seasons are "Miserably Hot" and "January.")


And, of course, the random Beacon Hill street shot.

The bridge over the frozen duck pond in the Public Gardens.


Boylston Street.

Can you tell I like the Public Gardens? I should probably move on, now that I finally got good, clean tripod-stablized RAW shots with the DSLR.

Look for a trip down Commonwealth Avenue soon.

Ch-ch-ch-changes.

*sigh* Snow is still magical to me.

It's expected to snow about 10 inches today, with more on the way during the next week. So this is what winter is like?



In the Common. Traffic, vehicular and pedestrian, was light today because school and work were canceled for many people.



In the Common. Boston is a beautiful city to begin with, but I think it looks gorgeous under a coat of fresh snow.

Tried this scene (on Comm. Ave.) again with my SLR. Any preference?

In Sight, Dec. 16

Sorry for the quality; I took these on my phone and my shivering hands made the photos blurry.

Another 7 inches of snow fell on us yesterday, and the storm later turned to dumping freezing rain, which turned to ice. It was cold yesterday, and parts of my jacket and wet hair started to freeze as I was doing errands.

Fortunately, it's a beautiful day today. Cold, but with a rich, blue sky and lots of sunshine. I can handle that.
