Everything in between

Having spent the better part of my life trying either to relive the past or experience the future before it arrives, I have come to believe that in between these two extremes is peace. ~Unknown

This year the magnolias in Boston blossomed very early, but unfortunately didn't last long. This was taken a couple of weeks ago on Beacon Street.

Delicious Dessert

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. ~Ernestine Ulmer

This was taken on my lunch hour, at one of my favorite places, BerryLine. This was taken at their lovely Newbury Street location. This was a new flavor I hadn't tried before... Banana-Graham, with graham crackers sprinkled on top. It was amazing, as are all of their flavors!

Spring Fever

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

Happy Spring! These lovely crocus flowers were seen on Beacon Street in Boston. Everything is in full bloom here. This shot was taken with my iPhone.

Life Connections

Here's another photo from my last vacation, September of 2010 . . . taken at Jackson Falls in New Hampshire.

I plan on doing some shooting in Boston next weekend, so hopefully there will be some new photos coming soon. :)

Into the Unknown

This was taken at the end of September of 2009, while on a trip in the White Mountains (NH). I'm still not actively taking photos, but have many many shots in my archives I may share from time to time.

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, and a very joyous and prosperous new year!

White Berries

Found at Arnold Arboretum . . . these are a type of beautyberry. I wish everyone a lovely Sunday, and a great week ahead!

I wish everyone celebrating the holiday a very happy one!

Found on Cardinal Medeiros Ave., Cambridge. I love the smell of autumn leaves. :)

Opportunity is a parade. Even as one chance passes, the next is a fife and drum echoing in the distance. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

This was taken at last year's HONK! Festival Parade. I took lots of pictures, but only posted a couple on my flickr photostream.
The parade this year is tomorrow, Sunday, October 2nd. I am not planning on attending this year, but am looking forward to seeing my friends' photos from the event.
