Flowers on the Charles

At the start of each spring season, flowers are planted along the Chalres River in Cambridge, MA (next to Harvard University).  It's a nice little touch to the landscaping efforts... now if only they could build a beach. John W Weeks Bridge is in the background.

Happy Easter!

Scene captured at the Boston Public Gardens... not quite sure what was going on, but it appeared to be "Easter related"?

Spring Into Spring (2012 Edition)

Everything is starting to come back to life again after a relatively mild winter in Boston... flowers are blooming, temperature is staying above 50F, outdoor patios are open, and farmers markets will be starting soon.

 I'm planning to dedicate the next several days to posting images related to spring time. Enjoy!

First Snow of the Season!

New England just had it's first snow of the season... and it was quite a major event. The snow starting falling Saturday afternoon and didn't let up until sometime early Sunday morning. News stations were referring to it as "Snowtober". Although, I thought that was kind of a stupid name. Boston didn't get hit too hard (as you can see from the pictures), but areas to the north got several inches. Also, because it was a wet snow, power lines went down in quite a few places.

When I woke up on Sunday morning, it was sunny, windy, and most of the snow had already melted. I guess Boston had gotten more rain than snow. Anyways, I went for a walk through Harvard Yard on my way to caffeine and took a few pictures.
