What is happening? A photo with a real person in it? But, to my credit the actual person is outnumbered by the mannequins.

Umbrella
A series of umbrellas – each with whimsical lights underneath them – provide a sort of roof over an outdoor dining area in Boston’s North End. And for a bonus, they sway in the breeze.

it was a layered approach
I made a lot of photos on my trip to Boston, and this one is emerging as one of my favorites.
The place that amazing arrow is pointing to – Durgin-Park – closed down in early 2019. It had a long run, from its start in 1827, but even 192 year old places are vulnerable. If you’ve got time, you might want to read this article about the place. And if you read it, pay special attention to the quotes from Gina Schertzer, who worked there for 43 years. She makes her opinions pretty clear (and may also provide some credibility to another article I read that described the service as “sometimes surly.”)

Foliage
Here’s some prettier foliage that I saw on the walk through Beacon Hill. (I pushed myself to take a photo of something that was pretty.)

snacking
If you know anything at all about my photographic eye, you probably know that it’s drawn to the things that are worn out, broken, used up, less than beautiful, easily overlooked.
And that’s why, when I was in the beautiful Beacon Hill neighborhood, I photographed what was left of these leaves after something had snacked on them.
