Month: July 2013

Inner Eagle & Reclining Blade by Peter Decamp Haines

I never would have guessed “eagle” for the sculpture in the top image. I had no idea what the sculpture in the second image was supposed to be…

Poised by The Myth Makers: Donna Dodson & Andy Moerlein

The sculpture is 20 feet tall and made of saplings and wire ties. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a Great Blue Heron until I read…

Tiger Mothers by Donna Dodson

Back in June, I was walking after work to Back Bay and walked through the Christian Science Plaza. I noticed a couple of statues and took some photos….

Public Garden

The heat wave is over. I think it lasted a stretch of 7 days! Yesterday was a little rainy and this morning is rainy but it sounds like…

Squirrel with Chip

Seeing as this squirrel was preoccupied with the potato chip I was able to get fairly close and she stayed pretty still. What I really should have taken…

Great Blue Heron of Boston

This handsome guy was hanging out in the Muddy River along the Fenway. Typically, I have to go to Florida or out to the Berkshires to get a…

Rock Art

There are always these random “artistic” projects in the area around where I work. I assume it’s either the School of the Museum of Fine Arts or Mass…

Twisted Spine

Back in May I had visited my aunt at New England Baptist, where she had had spinal surgery. On the way out I ran into this statue. I…

Sam Adams Clock Tower

This is a shot of the Samuel Adams statue at Faneuil Hall, with the light on the Custom House Tower. The title sort of sounds like a drink…”I’ll…

Remember

About a month or so ago when I had met a friend for dinner in the North End. After diner she went left and I went right to…

Yes, An Ant

First he wanted me to step on it but I said I didn’t want to. Then he wanted me to touch it. I said I really didn’t want…

You Looking At Me?!

I took this shot during the macro Meetup a couple weeks ago. The baby swan at the Jenny Gristmill is getting bigger and her neck is much longer….

Birthday Bear

On Saturday, I went to a 4th birthday/1st year adoption party for my friend’s son. He is adorable, funny, smart, and yes, fresh at times, but it’s truly amazing…

Beach Roses

A couple more shots showing off the beach roses. We had a couple of really bad storm this winter that did a lot of damage out at the…

Cliff Top View

Besides having a great view of the lighthouse when you go to the edge of the Gurnet you have a great view out into the ocean. I a…

Saquish Nest

It was hard to get a sharp image of this nest. I had the camera on my monopod but it kept moving because I was trying to swat…

The Back Road

I love driving along the back road at the beach. I also love the look of the dirt road, green bushes and a bright blue sky. When they…

At the Beach

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July. As is tradition, I spent the 4th out at Saquish with family. I even ended up sleeping…

5th of July

A “live” photo from Saquish. This is my view this morning. Nothing better than waking up to a beautiful day at the beach.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July! After many days of clouds and rain, it looks as if we are going to have a stretch of sunny, hot, humid, weather. Where…

MeetUp: Macro Flower Bug

Okay, back to a macro image of a flower. But, what I like about this image is the background (and the bug). I really like the crisscross look…

MeetUp: Macro Mushrooms

At one point during the MeetUp I walked around looking for macro shots that weren’t of flowers. I came across a tree with mushrooms growing up the side….

MeetUp: Close Up Photography

Wow, where did June go! I can’t believe it’s July 1st already. This week’s forecast is scattered showers and humidity. Hopefully, July 4th will be okay so we…
