Generous Gardeners Share the Wealth – Photo of the Week

This Cranesbill Geranium creates a beautiful ground cover that flowers in spring. You see the plant popping up in more than a few Back Bay gardens. This is, in part, because generous local gardeners share plants with others as they thin or redesign their own gardens.

Sometimes, on our walks along Marlborough Street, we'll see plants sitting outside a front yard with a sign that says, "free plants." Other times, a veteran gardener like Susan Juretschke will move plants from one garden to another as she tries to find the spot where they will thrive.

Gardeners are genererous people. We once lived next door to a gentleman we called the "Phantom Farmer" because we could arrive home from work to find a bag of garden fresh produce hanging on our doorknob.

This photo was selected for the covershot in this week's Back Bay Sun.

Colorful Arches: Photo of the Week
We were out on a walk with our dog, when Penny captured this view of a line of columns framed by an arched opening. It is on the First Church in Boston at 66 Marlborough Street. The caption with this photo reads:

Colorful Arches

"Color in certain places has the great value of making the outlines and structural planes seem more energetic." (Antoni Gaudí, Spanish architect 1852-1926)

Photo of the Week: Enjoying Bridges
This week, Ed’s photo of these bridges along the Esplanade won the spot on the front page of The Back Bay Sun. We took a long walk along the river and had quite a few photos of bridges. Since this parkland was divided from the surrounding neighborhoods when a parkway was turned into a highway, bridges are what we use to climb over that ugly wall of cars.

The copy on the page is a quote:

Enjoying Bridges
