You'll notice that I went a little nuts with the "Watercolor" feature on the camera. Vintage-y filters are all the rage these days and I normally don't have much patience for them but this Watercolor effect (one of many baked into the WX-300) affects the picture at a deep level and turns it into something fresh and new.
I had a lot of fun shooting these which hopefully means I can foster a habit of frequent photography when we're abroad. Enjoy!
Prince st: It cuts around Jamaica Pond but above the main thoroughfare. I always bike this route home even if it's a little out of the way. Woodsy, quiet, beautiful. |
Community garden and mural at the Lawrence School |
The field behind the school |
That fountain is where "circle soccer" was born: the sport of choice for all Lawrence school kids...even if you didn't want it to be. |
Trying out the High Dynamic Resolution feature. Brookline recycles! |
Sidewalk sunflowers |
Another quiet street in Brookline, all watercolor-y |
I climbed a tree on the Longwood Mall to get this so you'd better believe it's getting posted |
The far end of the Longwood Mall: these trees have been here since the Civil War |
Some apartments nearby: through the portal you can just make out the steam tower that sits in the center of the Longwood Medical Complex. More on that later... |
Along the Muddy River pathway |

Construction near the Museum of Fine Arts |
More construction on one of Boston's many sports fields |
Beth Israel Hospital and the heart of the Longwood Medical Center; Harvard Med School is a few blocks down and Joslin Diabetes Center (where my mom works) is across the street |
The steam towers that power the hospitals. When we first moved to Brookline I got lost walking around by myself but I spotted this tower on the horizon and used it to retrace my steps back home |
Geese along the Riverway which connects Brookline down to Jamaica Plain |
Houses and art along the Riverway |
I dropped the bike to grab for the camera many, many times. This time the sun was peeking through the branches |
Jamaica Pond: our neighborhood body of water. Minutes from home and the rain just started! |
We canoed to this island with Gina and Daniel last summer! You can see the pond boathouse on the far shore |
