I loved the big reflection in this puddle. Below, the moon rises over the Prudential Tower and the Mass Pike.
Butterflies in our neighborhood garden park.
These photos were taken on October 9, Sunday of Columbus Day weekend. I'd wanted to take a trip somewhere, make use of the three-day weekend, but the weather ended up being so incredible, I'm glad we didn't miss it. We had a very long-lasting summer this year, and this weekend was in the 80s. The weather was absolutely perfect. Greg and I took camping chairs, bagels, and books to the park around the corner and read for a couple of hours. It was wonderful. The birds were chirping, the air was soft on our skin, and there were even butterflies and bumblebees flitting about.
Billy did very well at his annual exam.
The Fourth Annual Pumpkin Carving and Cider Sipping at work went great this year. (My kitty bat is on the far right.)
These photos are out of order, again, but here's the story. My mom arrived a day after Josh did. We went to the Friendly Toast for an awesome brunch, then decided to walk home, rather than take the subway. It was sprinkling, but we chose to brave the elements. It ended up fully raining on us, so the photo above is Josh and Greg playing games in the afternoon after we'd come home and changed out of our soaking wet clothes. Notice the bright gold leaves outside the window. Below is the view from our apartment. I love the different colors.
One of my favorite parts of my mom and brother's annual trip is just lounging around, playing games, and eating interesting food.
Boston's skyline with colorful trees along the river esplanade, seen from across the river.
