    Two ducks follow the trail of water in the Public Garden Lagoon. They can't understand where their wet went or why their habitat is filled with orange fencing and heavy equipment. 

    Well, Ducks, according to the city:

    In the Public Garden, a five-year, multi-phase project is underway to stabilize the edge of the Lagoon. This year, restoration of approximately one-third of the structural border on the north side of the pond is scheduled to be completed by early April.

  • New Boston Addition to the National Register of Historic Places

    DSC_2269 - Version 22013-02-25 church-of-coventant-National-Register-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The Church of the Covenant, on the corner of Berkeley and Newbury Streets (map), has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building contains 42 Tiffany stained glass windows that are an integral part of the largest Tiffany-designed church interior in the country.

    CHE_2091 - Version 32013-02-25 church-of-coventant-National-Register-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Sometimes, when we stroll around Boston's historic districts on daily errands or regular visits, we forget that we're walking though a National Treasure that visitors come from all around the world to see.

    DSC_2272 - Version 32013-02-25 church-of-coventant-National-Register-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    A project is underway to restore the Tiffany windows. Tours of the interior will resume this spring. Until then, you can take this online tour.

    Don't miss an Easter photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G15 camera will give you what you need to take stills and video of your Easter celebration. Canon's G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11. They're a little bigger than the compacts most people use, but let you shoot with automatic settings or easy-to-use manual controls that please the many pros who use them as second cameras. And, if you are ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR too. We just added a Nikon D600
    to our camera fleet and are extremely happy with the performance it has delivered.

  • Sweet Eye Candy Wears White – BMW 550i

    DSC_1558 - Version 22013-01-06-BMW-White-550-eyecandy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While Eye Candy can come in any color, this BMW 550i is extra sweet in white! The color shows off all of the car’s lines, creases, and hardware yet still manages to be an equal part of the whole.

    DSC_1571 - Version 22013-01-06-BMW-White-550-eyecandy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    There’s a flow to the design, even at the corners, where a not-so-subtle tail light can both alert and complement.

    DSC_1559 - Version 22013-01-06-BMW-White-550-eyecandy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    It’s a canvas of white onto which functional design elements are artfully positioned for maximum utility and beauty.

    DSC_1565 - Version 22013-01-06-BMW-White-550-eyecandy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    I know from experience that keeping a white car clean, especially in winter, can be a challenge. This German beauty was pristine enough to reflect some of its other city onlookers.

    DSC_1561 - Version 22013-01-06-BMW-White-550-eyecandy-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The BMW 5-series current design, a merciful change from its last incarnation, often catches my eye. This sedan now has a body worthy of its performance and heritage. Nicely done!
