Millennium Park
Cell moves in
By adamg - 6/24/10 - 4:46 pm
At Millennium Park, around 5 p.m. Just as the cell was getting going, a soccer team showed up, at what is the highest point around, and began practicing. I suggested to one of the adults that might not be the smartest thing - lightning was already starting. But only a downpour got them off, apparently they were more concerned about getting wet than becoming human lightning rods. And as soon as they left, some dog walkers showed up - and began walking their pets. Sheesh!

Millennium Park wasn't exactly packed this morning as the snow started, but I was far from the only person there - dog walkers, strollers and joggers weren't going to let a little snow and brisk winds keep them from their appointed rounds.
Load 'em up, but beware of the turning spinner

Picking up a load of salt this morning at the Boston DPW sand/salt shed by Millennium Park in West Roxbury. And remember: Beware the turning spinner!
It's a good thing Millennium Park has a bike rack

Because it's just such a pain to have to keep watch on your bike when you're busy going down the slide at the playground.

I'm assuming its proper name is not Whatchamacallit Bird

As yesterday afternoon's storm wound down, I drove up to the top of Millennium Park in West Roxbury, figuring there might be a rainbow. There was! Split in two, with one end landing just left of the high school and the other end between the VA hospital and the Great Blue Hill. Alas, it was just a little too faint for my camera to do justice, so no photos, but I did take some shots of this twittering bird, which seemed to be enjoying the wet road. Anybody know what it is?
Arctic explorer at the top of the world

A little kid navigating the path at the top of Millennium Park today.
Lizkdc meditates on Millennium Park:
... Here people come and fly kites, run laps, stroll babies and dogs. Ducks paddle, a heron stalks, and red-winged blackbirds were calling to one another today, defying the still melting snow and half frozen stream.
It's a good place to focus on one's awareness, because there's nothing here, and everything.
