    About Today in Boston: 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. Today in Boston is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.

  • Halloween Sights around the Back Bay

    Pumpkins, witches, ghouls, goblins, and flying bats have taken over the usually sedate front yards and doorsteps in the Back Bay.

    Looks like the pumpkin above lost a few teeth in a bar brawl.

    His pal, on the step below, is just sick about it. (Or else, he ate too much candy!)

    While the winner of the tussle smirked at them from his perch, out of reach, in the fork of a tree.

    This house on Marlborough Street went on a pumpkin carving spree but, sadly, only a few made it until today. I'm glad we preserved their work in photos.

    Elsewhere, there was plenty of evidence of busy spiders and creative minds.
