It rained for 3 days in a row. A strange time of the year to have that much rain, but I’ll take it as it comes. Our garden and grass needed the cool weather and moisture badly. After the rain the days were crisp and felt like Fall (today we’re back to 93 degrees). Monday was the perfect day to photograph and I had two willing subjects who were a lot of fun to get to know. Here’s “A Man and his Dog”:
Should blogs show things as they happen? I am not one to blog everyday so our everyday things tend to get left behind. Here are a few of our activities that were forgotten this summer.
The typewriter that played the piano at the art gallery on Green St… next to where we lived in Boston:
The gazebo at this park:
Ezra making friends the day we tried to pick strawberries in MA:
India’s art camp. This was the story telling class. They opened by greeting the north, south, east and west while the teacher blew her conch shell.
The snake dance:
India preparing her costume/puppet/visual aid to help tell her story. “My name is India. I am a story unfolding.” She loves her art camp and I love all the art/cultural things that are incorporated in each class.
Pudding pop mess. Joys of summer.
Our tree that is no longer. Notice the bursting planter box? We want to save our stairs so felt we should destroy the tree. So sad to loose something so beautiful.
4th of July! How could this be forgotten? I’m bad with blogging!
The hat that India made mostly on her own. Zach and our neighbors in the background.
Oh yes, and India riding without training wheels… on the 4th of July also. It was a big day.
This was awesome. The Country Western Family Night concert in the Englewood outdoor amphitheater.
My friend Heather and I decided we should shoot together at least once a month. July was her pick of location. This awesome mural wall on Colfax is what she chose. Lots of fun for her Transformer loving boy.
Stay tuned for future installments…
Then on the swing afterward while the sun was setting.
We have done a lot of things that have not made it onto this blog. Since this is the last week of summer for us, I thought I should post some of the highlights.
May:
E’s scooter ride.
I’s bungee ride
Photograph of Grandpa taken by E… most are not nearly as good as this.
June:
Story time at Jamaica Pond. Good to be with friends.
A couple more from E.
Waiting for the Green Line. Forever as always.
Near the Basketball stadium. Can’t keep track of it’s name… is it called The Garden again? and I in front of the longest suspension bridge in the US… or is it the world?
Wall art in North End after eating Pizza Regina.
The many faces of E. Thankfully he kept his fingers out of his mouth!
Both kids at the Public Garden. This is before dinner at Upper Crust.
These are after dinner and ice cream.
Have you ever been? Do you love it? Would you ever consider being photographed here?
These photographs only show a few of the very retro rides and sadly none of the signs or ticket booths. I couldn’t do them justice with my point-n-shoot camera with no tripod and diminishing light. I took a few images that show some of the things we did that evening. You will get a feel for the place at least.
Disclaimer: these images taken with a rinky-dink camera.
Many of the kid rides were very similar. Round and round in a circle. But you could tell they were built in a by-gone age.
We found the boys from our perch on the Farris Wheel.
So many things at the park inspired me. Even the bathroom.
Beautiful sunset from the train ride around the lake.
