Last April I took the following picture outside Fenway Park:

Earlier this month I got a great view of the moon in my front yard.

please come to boston for the spring time

In May of 2011, I walked around Boston Common and the Public Garden on a Sunday afternoon. It was a cool, overcast day, but the swans didn't seem to mind.

This is the time of year that has me asking:

let's take it outside

The weather was unseasonably warm this afternoon, so I took the chance to go for a walk. (I think every man, woman, child, and dog in town had the same idea.) As the shadows started to get longer, I liked the play of light and dark with the sun coming through the trees. It looks even better in black and white:

making a good impression

In 2006, I watched Boston's Fourth of July fireworks from a friend's boat. As dusk fell, I fiddled with the settings on my camera, and wound up with this shot that looks like something Claude Monet might have come up with if he had been gazing at the Boston skyline in the 21st century:

Visited the coast of Maine this week.  Here's Portland Head Light in early November:

In October of 2003, I drove by the Bambino's old house in Sudbury, MA. I parked in front for a minute or two, stared at the house, and said simply, "OK, Babe, you've made your point. Enough already!"

A week later... well, I guess he had one last hurrah. But he must have taken my advice and gotten over it, because the following year order was restored to the universe.

Right down the street from Babe Ruth's old residence is the Sudbury Grist Mill. Here's a picture from that day:

think pink

It feels like summer outside this weekend, so how about a nice, summery picture o' the day? This is from Ardastra Gardens and Zoo in Nassau, Bahamas:

let the games begin

With the Red Sox' Opening Day just four days away, it's time for a picture from last year's home opener:

a shell of my former self

Continuing with my travel photos, the following was taken on Sanibel Island, Florida, in 2005:

Here's a photo of a mama and baby elephant I took at the St. Louis Zoo in 2005. Click it to enlarge.

love that dirty water

I'll be sharing in this blog, among other things, photos I've taken over the years. I took the following from the Esplanade in Boston in 2004. Click it to enlarge.
