Boston Photo Bonanza

This is a “lots of pictures of the day” entry.

Becky is taking a much-deserved break on Martha’s Vineyard for a few days, so I’m in Beverly and looking for things to do. Today, the weather was simply gorgeous, so I hopped on a train to Boston and spent several hours hoofing it around the city. I took lots of photos and put them in my Boston Photo Bonanza gallery for you all to see. I hope you enjoy them!

Also, you may have noticed a new ‘Archive Jumper’ on the right hand side of the page. This is a drop-down menu that will “jump” you to a given week of blog entries in our archives. It was rather complicated to get it set up, and it may not stay that way… but for now, give it a try.

26 Things

This isn’t so much a picture of the day as it is “Pictures of July”.

sh1ft.org ran a Photographic Scavenger Hunt during the month of July, called 26 Things. The idea was to take one photo for each of 26 different themes during July, and then post them on their website when July was over.

Well, I took a shot at this project, and managed to get 22 out of 26 of the “things” photographed. What I actually did was go over all of the photographs I took in July and pick out the ones that best matched certain themes, rather than purposefully taking a picture for each theme. But they did turn out quite nicely.

So here it is:

I hope you enjoy it!

God’s Handiwork

Sometimes God does all the setup work in some of my favorite photographs. This photo of the day is dedicated entirely to Him. Check out the beautiful colors and the reflections in Crater Lake.

Pic o’ the day to ye, laddie!

This picture comes from last year when Becky and I took a trip into Boston. There was a lovely campaign of anti-jaywalking signs around the city. Unfortunately, this sign has since been taken down.

Speaking of Boston, we’re going to be heading in there on Saturday to see They Might Be Giants!
