In the Fenway, along the Muddy River, the work of man and nature combine to create a golden-hued scene in winter.

Happy Holidays to all our readers. And, a big thank you to everyone who has added elegant, tasteful decoration to our daily walks around the city.
This time of year, we enjoy seeing the bows and garland on wrought iron fences and railings.
Beautiful doorways wearing wreaths as seasonal accessories.
In honor of the firefighters.
Both private homes and public buildings, like the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, celebrate the season with artistic flair. We hope you'll find the time to take a walk in your neighborhood to enjoy the scene while it's fresh and beautiful.

Worry not if you see empty tree pits along Clarendon Street between Commonwealth and Beacon (map). As always, The Garden Club of the Back Bay is on the job protecting the trees in this neighborhood and beyond.
Sixteen trees on these blocks will be removed. Here's what the sign on that tree says.
Or as they said in the letter The Garden Club of the Back Bay sent us:
"Dear Neighbors,
In the next few weeks the Garden Club of the Back Bay and the City of Boston will begin the first phase of a project to improve the streetscape of Clarendon Street. As many of you have noticed, the trees on the two blocks between Beacon and Commonwealth have been in steady decline due to salt sensitivity and are now mostly dead, and an eyesore. The Boston Parks and Recreation Department has agreed to remove the trees and the Garden Club has agreed to replant all 16 locations with very handsome, large Ginkgo biloba ‘Autumn Gold’ specimen trees in the spring of 2016. These trees are ancient, immune to most urban tree problems, are not salt sensitive, and have beautiful fall color. They will be interesting to you and to all the children using the Playground every day.
This is a big project, but Clarendon Street is an important entrance portal in to the Back Bay and should be beautiful. The Garden Club hopes you will help us fund this work. Tree sponsorships are $2,500 per tree and include plaques which can be installed on the tree fences. What a nice holiday, birthday, or anniversary present! All donations of any size are welcome and needed so we may complete this work in the spring. Contributions are completely tax deductible.
We hope you will consider contributing. We want you to know our plans in advance of the chainsaws arriving! Your checks can be made to the Garden Club of the Back Bay and mailed to M. Pokorny, 384 Marlborough St, Boston, MA 02115. You may also donate with a credit card on our website, www.gardenclubbackbay.org – just press the Donate button and we will acknowledge your contribution right away.
If you have any questions: mpok384@verizon.net.
Clarendon Street Committee: Jackie Blombach, Jolinda Taylor, Claire Corcoran,
Sherley Smith, Catherine Bordon, Maureen O’Hara, Francine Crawford,
Margaret Pokorny"
Ed and I took a few photos of the condition of some of the maples before they were cut down.

For the past couple of weeks, we've admired the tenacity of this rose on our daily walks.
We kept calling it the last rose of summer. Finally, over the weekend, Ed took a photo of it. I'm glad he did because when we walked by the other day, its petals were scattered on the walkway.
We are thankful to all the gardeners who add color and beauty to our days. And, we thank Mother Nature for allowing her roses to bloom well into November.

We've received so many nice comments on Ed's "Poet's Quill" photo on the cover of the The Back Bay Sun that we decided to share it with our BostonZest readers. And, we wanted to say, "Thank You," to all our friends and neighbors who stop to say nice things about our photos. We appreciate the encouragement and support.
The caption we wrote for the newspaper was:
Poet’s Quill
At the Boston Women’s Memorial, rain droplets beaded on Phillis Wheatley
Background on this Photo
As is the case for many of our photo assignments, we both took a number of photos of the Boston Women's Memorial right after it had its annual cleaning and waxing by conservators hired by the Friends of the Public Garden and paid for by contribution to the Henry Lee Conservation Fund.
Ed and I have different approaches to photography which makes for a nice selection of varied shots when we put all our photos on a topic into our computers to select the right one for the client. Ed loves his Nikon 35mm 1.8
