  • No Way for Ducklings!

    Frozen puddles in an empty lagoon mean there is no place for ducks or ducklings in the Public Garden today.

    About Photo Tales & Quotes: We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. Photo Tales & Quotes is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.

    While to rest of us lounged, I'm sure they were happy to have an empty lagoon and fine weather for this annual chore.
