ouch!

I’m going back to basics this week, with no theme.

So as many of you faithful followers know, I am new to the world of bike riding, never having learned as a kid. Yesterday, Doug and I went for a ride along the Charles, which was lovely, and I had my first real spill.

In addition to the loveliness you see here, I also have some other very nice scrapes and bruises. But none as pretty as this one.

feathered friend

another Critter Day at work, and these people had some really cool critters. Including this toucan, who sat on my arm and ate blueberries that I fed her. Then she was nibbling at my name tag and keys, and the camera when I held it up.

I know it doesn’t fit in with the theme of the week, but hello…! it’s a toucan!!

looking up: construction

Insanely long day at work today and I still hadn’t taken a picture when I finally left. But as I was walking to the train station I glanced up at the roof of this building that’s been under construction since approximately forever. There is an enormous crane on top of it. Enormous. How do they get these things up there???

looking up: at the train station

I’ve always noticed that South Station is very well lit with natural light. The area where the trains are has no roof, but the platform where people wait does. It never really struck me that the platform is far brighter than one would expect. I’m sure I’d subconsciously been aware of the skylights, but I never paid them much attention before.

looking up: the doctor’s ceiling

The theme for the week is “looking up.” I was thinking the other day that most people don’t tend to look higher than their heads, and at about 5 feet tall, I think I may be missing out. So I’ll spend the week casting my eyes and my camera upward.

Of course, today’s picture was taken at the doctor’s office. Ladies, I’m sure you’re all familiar with this view, or something similar.
