    Enough with cold, grey days!

    We're ready for sunshine, warmth, and the colors of spring. These crocus were blooming back on St. Patrick's Day. We've even seen some brave pansies in bloom on the sunny sides of the city streets.

  • Cool Hydrant Spray: Not Just for Heat Waves

    DSC_2775 - Version 22013-03-22-open-hydrant-flood-commonwealth-avenue-mall-∂© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    The icy cool water from this hydrant on Berkeley Street would be a little more welcome when the temperature rises about 50 degrees. Ed took photos of this gusher and the resulting flood on the Mall's walking path yesterday. He didn't see anyone ready to jump and play in the spray.

    No one took the opportunity to splash in the wading pool created on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. Perhaps this was an effort to convince Mother Nature that we are ready for warmer weather.

    Here's hoping that soon we'll be back photographing people enjoying the fountain at the Christian Science Center. 

    Think Warm, everyone!

  • Cardinals’ Songs: a Sweet Sound of Spring

    IMG_2646 - Version 22011-03-18-cardinal-male-boston-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    While the neighborhood cardinals have been around all winter, we seem to have noticed their sweet song more in the past couple of weeks. They sing and we stop, eyes turned to the tree tops and roof tops to try to spot that splash of red. 

    When we saw this blog post from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology,

    Round robin blog

    Why So Red, Mr. Cardinal? NestWatch Explains, we had to share. We learned so many new things about our neighbors the Northern Cardinals. 

    IMG_2655 - Version 22011-03-18-runners-boston-marathon-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    We turn to Cornell's All about Birds site anytime we want to know more about any bird. Here's their entry on the Northen Cardinal complete with sound, photos, video, and what you can do to join in the research on this beautiful additon to our lives. 

    Don't miss a Bird photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G15 camera
    will give you what you need to take stills and video for your life list. 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're ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR too. We also just added a Nikon D600
    to our camera fleet and are extremely happy with the performance it has delivered.
