  • First of the Season: Little Glove Lost

    DSC_0005 - Version 22013-11-10-lost-glove-bench-commonwealth-avenue-mall-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    "The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost." Gilbert K. Chesterton

    Being bright red, it was easy to spot this little glove sitting abandoned among the leaves. This is the first lost glove spotted on my walks this season.

    It looked new, so I moved it to a more visible location on a nearby fence hoping it might be reunited with its mate.

    Read more about how fences are the Unofficial Lost and Found Department for small items like this around the city and the more official sites where you can report Lost or Found items.

  • Two Views of Admiral Morison: It’s Photo Day!

     DSC_9828 - Version 22013-11-05-morison-statue-commonwealth-avenue-mall-autumn-foliage-© 2011 Penny Cherubino  

    In this shot of the statue of Samuel Eliot Morison on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, Ed caught the wonderful light that was shining through the foliage and striking the elm tree in the foreground. I like how the green of the elm and the trees in the yards across the street punctuate the fall colors.

    We wander through our days with two cameras and two different photography prospectives. One of our weekly assignments is a cover shot for the Back Bay Sun. When it’s time to edit the photos and decide which to submit, it’s fun to see how the two of us capture different moments of the same scene. 

     PC2_0959 - Version 22013-11-06BBS Short Cover Samuel Eliot Morison © 2011 Penny Cherubino copy

    When I walked by a day later, the sprinkler system on the Mall was being drained by Parks Department staff. As the water ran out and the spray turned to fog, I was able to capture the diagional rays of mist in the sunshine over the horizontal stripes of green and gold.

    Don’t miss a holiday photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G16 Digital Camera will give you what you need to take stills and video of your celebrations. Canon’s G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11 and they still give us great service after many years.

    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 “always with me” cameras.  

    And, if you are ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR and Penny uses the Nikon D600. Nikon and Canon make up our camera fleet and we are extremely happy with the performance delivered.

  • Halloween Sights around the Back Bay

    Pumpkins, witches, ghouls, goblins, and flying bats have taken over the usually sedate front yards and doorsteps in the Back Bay.  

    PC2_0841 - Version 22013-10-19-haloween-pumpkins-decoration-back-bay-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Looks like the pumpkin above lost a few teeth in a bar brawl.

    His pal, on the step below, is just sick about it. (Or else, he ate too much candy!)

    DSC_9227 - Version 22013-10-19-haloween-pumpkins-decoration-back-bay-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While the winner of the tussle smirked at them from his perch, out of reach, in the fork of a tree. 

    PC2_0851 - Version 22013-10-19-haloween-pumpkins-decoration-back-bay-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This house on Marlborough Street went on a pumpkin carving spree but, sadly, only a few made it until today. I'm glad we preserved their work in photos.

    DSC_9224 - Version 22013-10-19-carved-pumpkin-halloween-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Elsewhere, there was plenty of evidence of busy spiders and creative minds.

  • Follow the Fall Foliage into the City of Boston

    We've been following the colors of fall as they tiptoe their way into the city. Yankee Magazine's foliage map now has our area shown as peak color. Our guess is that, here in the city, you'll still see some stunning scenes into November. We're still seeing lots of green as a backdrop to those early show-off trees.
