Birds on the Charles

I went up to Newton with a friend for lunch and some picture taking. We only ended up staying to take pictures for a few minutes, but the ducks, geese, seagulls, and swans were plenty cooperative.

This Seagull looped around eight or nine times; almost like he knew I was trying to get a good shot of him.

The geese were frisky and kept chasing each other off from their selected spots.

Hope Roth @ The Cantab Lounge

On Thursday night, I went to the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge to see a friend of mine, Hope Roth, play. She just got her first full length album independently produced and is on iTunes now. Check her out and if you like her sound buy a track or two. I'm partial to "The Fix" and "The Cat and I".

St Mary's Graveyard, Quincy

I went to St Mary's Graveyard near my house today.

Here is a bit of trivia for cemetery goers. A graveyard is any cemetery that is attached to a church. This particular location is part of St Mary's Church in Quincy, and all of the graves are on church property adjacent to the church. If the cemetery is just a plot of land where people are buried, it's just a cemetery.

Tileston-Hollingsworth Dam

I went to the Tileston-Hollingsworth Dam yesterday to see how it looks in winter. I was hoping for more ice on the spillway, but it looks look good anyway.
