Dinner and drinks at the Savant Project, Mission Hill area, Boston

Here we are at the Savant Project, a restaurant located near Brigham Circle that has been open for about a year or so. We've been enjoying Wednesday evenings on their back patio, after attending Harvard's weekly Immunology Seminar Series.

Geese and goslings...

A pair of Canada Geese and their newborn goslings, Back Bay Fens, Boston

I was walking along Aggasiz Road this afternoon and found this family of geese. Ahh...it's that time of year...warm temps alternating with frigid coastal storms, flooding, the exodus of college students, and the concurrent influx of Canada Geese, across from my apartment building in the Fenway (I can hear them right now, outside of my window).

Fog over Fenway

Fenway Park, Boston

I was on my way to a party on Saturday night and caught this image of some spectators at Fenway Park. A few thunderstorms had just rolled through the city, leaving behind a thick fog. The game resumed (after two delays), and we managed to beat the Yankees.

AD20/21

AD20/21 Exhibition, Cyclorama Building, South End, Boston

The first ever AD20/21 (Art and Design of the 20th and 21st Centuries) exhibition was held this weekend in the Cyclorama Building on Tremont Street. Exhibits featured works of galleries from around the world...media ranging from paint, sculpture, furniture, glass, etc. This space has hosted a number of art shows in the past, and it isn't difficult to figure out why; it's well-lit, even at night, and is historic in itself (built in the 1880s to house a large, circular painting of the Battle of Gettysburg for the viewing public).

In praise of the sun...

Harvard Medical School New Research Building, Boston

I was reading in the NRB yesterday afternoon when I woke up from a short doze to find that the sky had suddenly cleared. The NRB's all-glass curtain wall makes for fantastic photo ops.

Meat

The Butcher Shop, Tremont Street, South End, Boston

After attending an art exhibition across the street, we grabbed a table (standing room only for a while at first) for some appetizers and a bottle of bubbly at the Butcher Shop. At the rear of the restaurant, one can hand-pick the freshest cuts of meats (and even a whole duck, hanging by its feet).

Goodbye, Moon...

Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Banff, Alberta, Canada

...and so all good things must come to an end. Here is one of the last pictures I took on my trip up to Alberta, Canada's Banff National Park. On a chilly morning (about 5 degrees Fahrenheit), I shot this around 6:30 AM before we checked out of the hotel and made our way to Calgary Airport.
