    Over the weekend, we came upon this guy who told us he had roller skied from Hopkinton to the Boston Marathon finish line.

    When he noticed Penny taking his photo, he asked if she could take one with his iPhone. She did and he gave it his thumbs up. Hope he had a ride home after his workout.

    Update 11.26.13: The man in the photo is Ari Ofsevit . He left a comment here and you can learn more about his workout over on Universal Hub where he was kind enough to respond to all the questions and comments UH readers posted.

  • Patrick Andrew Collins Memorial as the Seasons Change

    PC2_1108 - Version 22013-11-13-Patrick-andrew-collins-memorial-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    This photo of the Collins Memorial on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall shows the seasonal transition. Colorful foliage makes the sculptural shapes of the bare elms stand out.

    Last week, I had a Twitter converstaion with Jeff from the great fall foliage site Jeff Foliage.

    He was saddened by the end of his favorite photography season.

    • “@BostonZest Thanks for the RT Penny. The #fallcolors are running on empty.”
    • I responded, “@Foliage_Reports Ah, but the textures of the grasses and sculpture of bare trees are wonderful subjects too.”

    Every season gives me new aspects of the city to photograph.

  • 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.
