Simple Sunset

A beautiful sunset never gets old.
Recently I've been working more early mornings,
which allows me to catch more evening sunsets.
 
This is a spot in Ocean Beach called Sunset Cliffs.
I can't imagine how it got that name....

Bella

This is my neighbor's puppy, Bella.
She was a rescue puppy.
She has a perfect calm & quiet demeanor & I adore her.
We visit at our fence every day.
I want a dog just like her.
Look at that face - so sweet.

Beautiful Boston (& Cambridge)

One of my best friends & I share the same birthday,
so naturally we enjoy celebrating it together.
This year we are going to Boston, one of my favorite
cities in the United States.
I normally stay in Cambridge. Cambridge is full of charm
& is best enjoyed in the Fall
when all of the leaves are changing & this is exactly when we
are visiting.

These are some old photos I've found
of my past trips to Cambridge & Boston.
I can't wait for October!


A very old building on the campus
of Harvard.




A walkway by our hotel, the Charles Hotel
 in Cambridge.


Church window at Harvard in the evening.



This is one of my favorite photos. We were
walking down Brattle Street in
Harvard Square one evening & there were no sounds
except a Red Sox game, which was broadcast
from a small television in the window of a tiny
gourmet shop called Cardullo's.
Residents had assembled
their chairs outside the shop to watch the game.


I won't ever tire of the charming homes in Cambridge.







Apples in the window of the coffee shop/ grocer
where I would spend every morning knitting in Cambridge.


True...and great.




The same shot of the walkway by the Charles Hotel.
This time sans leaves on trees. This was taken in
April, when I was visiting & fortunate enough
to run the 111th Boston Marathon.






A nice tea shop in Harvard Square.


I took this photo for my mother.
Her favorite color is purple.





The Green Dragon is pictured above & below.
It's one of my favorite pubs
to visit in Boston. Originally, the
recommendation to visit was made
by a bartender friend of mine who moved from Ireland
to Boston.
 It's one of the oldest
pubs in Boston & was where Paul Revere &
John Hancock used to chill. It's tiny & unassuming &
I LOVE the history involved. Plans for the invasion of Lexington & Concorde were dicussed here, beginning the
ride of Paul Revere.






The two above photos are on the beautiful
quiet camus of MIT.
