  • Please Don’t Give Me a Ticket Or Tow Me! See, I Have a Resident Sticker!

    This resident must have experience appealing parking tickets and doesn't want to do it again!

    "A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works."

    William E. ("Bill") Vaughan (1915 –  1977)

  • Tulips Enjoying Spring in the Back Bay

    Yesterday these tulips were happy peaking out of a fence on Marlborough Street. Who knows what they'll think about the change in temperature today!

  • Penelope Jencks Sculpture in Boston and Provincetown

    We have recently returned from a trip to Provincetown where I realized that my morning walks in both that town, at the tip of Cape Cod, and Boston pass by a sculpture by Penelope Jencks.

    IMG_2852

    In Ptown, I pass Dune Woman relaxing on the front lawn of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM.)

    IMG_2855

    In Boston it's her bronze & granite sculpture of Samuel Eliot Morison that attracts my camera (especially in the fall) as I walk the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.

    If you like one piece by a certain artist, do some research and see what else they've done and where it's located. You might find that you can fit a visit with another piece of their art into an upcoming summer trip.

  • Fog Can Be a Great Editor. Sometimes We Need the Fog….

    Yesterday the morning fog edited out the "high spine" of the Back Bay and reminded us of a former view from the Public Garden.

    Sometimes we need the fog to remind ourselves that all of life is not black and white.

  • Getting Ready for the Swan Boats, the Cleanup Before the Storm

    Yesterday the Parks Department crew were spring cleaning the Boston Public Garden lagoon before refilling it to welcome the Swan Boats on April 15th. The expected precipitation may help with the filling up process.
