  • "All those in favor of an early spring, raise your left hand!"<br /> 2/19/2010<br /> Quarter Mile Pond
  • "Education costs money, but then so does ignorance." <br /> -- Sir Claus Moser <br /> 2/18/2010<br /> Best viewed X2.<br /> <br /> Thanks for all your comments on yesterday's "Almost home". Many commented on the warm tones. I'd love to take creative credit for that, but that golden hue was the result of shooting in the light of what I think was an uncommon type of street lamp, using auto-WB. I started to correct the tones in PP but decided it looked better that way. That's what I'll call a "happy accident!"

  • "Love is the flower you've got to let grow." <br /> John Lennon <br /> 2/14/2010<br /> Happy Valentine's Day!<br /> <br /> PS. If you guessed snowy roof yesterday, you were right!
  • Snowy beach?<br /> 2/13/2010<br /> ...or the roof of my building at sunset?
  • “A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed...It feels an impulsion...this is the place to go now. But the sky knows the reasons and the patterns behind all clouds, and you will know, too, when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.” Richard Bach <br /> 2/12/2010<br /> <br /> Via iPhone.

  • “Rightly conceived, time is the friend of all who are in any way in adversity, for its mazy road winds in and out of the shadows sooner or later into sunshine, and when one is at its darkest point one can be certain that presently it will grow brighte” Arthur Bryant<br /> 2/10/2010

  • Electric keyboard<br /> 2/7/2010<br /> This is what I saw after I partially tilted down the screen of my new notebook and left long enough for the screen saver to kick in. This notebook is known for it's super shiny black finish and it's propensity to attract fingerprints.<br /> <br /> I think I've found another use.
  • Boston, looking North<br /> The last in the Boston series, for now<br /> 2/6/2010<br /> Thank you all for your comments on this series from Boston. It's a great city, and as many of you have expressed an interest to visit or re-visit, I would highly recommend. (No, I don't work for the Office of Tourism!).<br /> <br /> For another look at this view with landmarks identified, please click here: <a href="http://bit.ly/bgYgTW">http://bit.ly/bgYgTW</a>
  • Boston Harbor<br /> 2/5/2010<br /> In the lower left of this image you can see the building that marks the entrance to the Callahan Tunnel, which was featured in my daily photo of 2/3. Here is the harbor under which the Callahan and Sumner Tunnels run. That's East Boston on the far side.<br /> <br /> Thank you for all the comments on yesterday's H.A. Hovey photo.
  • H.A. Hovey Co.<br /> 2/4/2010<br /> <br /> These signs are hung inside the Great Rotunda of Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston. I did some research of H.A. Hovey Co. and found:<br /> <br /> The earliest reference I found was of Horatio Atwell Hovey who was born in 1820 and "worked for several years in the butter trade in his father's stall in the Faneuil Hall market... and at 21 became a partner with his father." [Google Books]<br /> <br /> The latest reference was this:<br /> <br /> Varnum Russell Mead, retired owner of H. A. Hovey Co. of Boston and Cambridge, died Dec. 18 [2006] after suffering a fall near his home on Martha's Vineyard. Following World War II, Mr. Mead went into business with his late father, Francis V. Mead, at H.A. Hovey Co. located next door to Durgin Park in the Quincy Market. Mr. Mead sold his business and retired in 1984. [The Martha's Vineyard Times, posted Dec. 18, 2006.]
  • The Lieutenant William F. Callahan Tunnel...<br /> 2/3/2010<br /> ... is one of three tunnels beneath Boston Harbor in Boston, Massachusetts. It carries motor vehicles from the North End to Logan International Airport. The tunnel was opened in 1961. It was named for the son of Turnpike chairman William F. Callahan, who was killed in Italy just days before the end of World War II. Operatic Tenor, William Flavin, of Milton Mass. sang the Star Spangled Banner and Oh Danny Boy at the opening of the Callahan Tunnel in 1961.<br /> [Wikipedia]
  • "99 bottles of... oh, never mind"<br /> 2/2/2010<br /> Thanks for all the comments on yesterday's "traffic". No, not my collection, but those cars were all on sale at a kiosk in Boston. I couldn't help but think of the morning commute!
  • Killer traffic<br /> 2/1/2010<br /> <br /> Thank you to all who viewed and commented on my "North End" image of yesterday. That was taken from high up in the 28 State Street building.
  • The North End of Boston<br /> 1/31/2010<br /> <br /> From Wikipedia:<br /> Boston's North End is the city's oldest residential community, where people have lived continuously since it was settled in the 1630s. Though small (⅓ mi²), the neighborhood has approximately 100 eating establishments, and a variety of tourist attractions. It is known as the city's Little Italy for its Italian-American population.<br /> <br /> The Old North Church (the white steeple seen in the center of this image), at 193 Salem Street, in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, is the location from which the famous "One if by land, and two if by sea" signal is said to have been sent. This phrase is related to Paul Revere's midnight ride, of April 18, 1775, which preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord during the American Revolution.
