Cool Hydrant Spray: Not Just for Heat Waves

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!

Meet the Leonberger

Meet the Leonberger, a large working dog that originated in Germany.

One of the great things about living in the city is the opportunity to meet so many different breeds of dogs and all the mixes of those breeds. We should keep a life-list of breeds like bird watchers keep a life-list of the birds they have spotted in the wild.

This person had his hands full with two adults and one puppy. That's a lot of dog but they were all being polite to other dogs and the people they attracted. When the time came to leave the park, the puppy wanted to stay. Fortunately, he was still small enough to be scooped up and carried away – small enough for about another week that is!

Snow Scenes from This Week’s Storm

Our photos of the week are from this week's snow storm in Boston.

The archtecture in the Back Bay was made for snowy scenes. The crisp, white snow brings out the colors that are actually there but not always seen.

Not all the brick in the Back Bay Historic District is red in tone. This building had a new facade added and the brick of choice was a bright yellowish beige.

As I stood in the middle of two rows of trees on the outbound side of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, I remembered hearing Commonwealth Avenue Mall expert Margaret Pokorney explain that, at one time, a group was advocating for and actually succeeded in having a third row of trees planted up the center of this space.

Seeing the branches intertwined and loving the view down the open space makes me glad more intelligent minds prevailed.

Everyone seemed to be out taking photos. I hope that the other photographers joined me in taking a few moments to lower their cameras or phones and simply enjoyed the scene. The photos you etch into your heart and mind can be just as lasting as those in film, print, or digital form.

And, the patience and skill to position yourself directly under a falling puff of snow …

Until just the right moment when you chomp down on that frosty delight. Ah-h-h, heaven!
