Boston Aquarium

This is a cool fish we saw at the Boston Aquarium yesterday. It was my first time on Boston proper. I really like that city, it's friendly and has great looking old buildings.

Done for the day


This is the last photo I took as my girlfriend and I left our nature walk at Wellesley that day. This is the path back to the parking lot of the country club.

inside outside








This part of the school is very much like a place in Montreal called Square Victoria. Like Square Victoria, this part of Wellesley College was added on to what usd to be the outside wall of the school. The photos show a wall that was once the exterior or the school, but is now the interior.


Wellesley College...


...a nice place to hang around.

on a hill



By the lake is the country club and this old building.

the great tree of wisdom


With some pretty wild roots.

GREEN HOUSE






More from my girlfriend's new place, this is the green house on the campus grounds at Wellesley. From the bottom up; the entrance, the cactus room, an intersting plant, and a close up of the same interesting plant.

OBSERVATORY


Again at on campus at Wellesley. This shot is from an office window of the school.

FROGGY



I was delighted to come across this guy, a frog! I haven't seen a frog in years. When I was a kid they were everywhere. Nowadays, seeing a frog is a rare. Kids today are missing out on the joy of catching critters in ponds and creeks. The ponds and creeks are either dried out, or the animal life just isn't there, or they are not allowed to go into the creeks by crazy parents that fear dirt and germs, shame. There is nothing more fun than catching a frog, a cray fish, a minnow, a leech, and putting them in the same jar to see who wins.

more lake







More lake shots, I love nature photography.
