I've always liked this mural, which is in the Back Bay area of Boston, right in the neighborhood of Berklee College of Music. This is my favorite section of the mural, which shows the magic of Louis Armstrong's music.

G goes outside


G goes outside
Originally uploaded by Lady-bug.
My husband Phil and I had a weekend of sillyness -- just lots of general goofy behavior and fun stuff. It made me realize that if we had kids, how embarrassed they would be of their wacky parents.

While giving me some Photoshop lessons yesterday, we came up with this picture of Gumby in one of my outdoor scenes I took in the morning. Gumby sure is getting around these days!

Beauty in the morning


Beauty in the morning
Originally uploaded by Lady-bug.
I went out this morning to take pictures before the snow melted off all the branches. I took 65 pictures, and this was the first one. I'm glad I went outside when I did, because now the pretty blue sky that was showing earlier is all covered in clouds.

Guarding the past

This fence is in front of the Granary Burial Ground, where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Benjamin Franklin's parents are buried, along with the victims of the Boston Massacre.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to take pictures inside the burial ground itself.
