Sometimes even though it’s 114% humidity outside, summer in Boston is really nice.

Quit Your Job
Somehow summer is coming to an end very rapidly. I can’t decide if I should sleep all the time or never sleep and try and fit everything in.
fireworks
I normally hate photos of fireworks but for some reason I always take photos of them anyway…and so does everyone else. I took some photos of the firework show at the fourth of july celebration on the Boston Esplanade over the weekend which were the best firework show I’ve ever seen by far. They kept going and going. I set my camera on the ground, using my shoe as a tripod, and kept shooting sight unseen. What came out I think was pretty nice. Almost painterly. Still, I apologize for the copious number of firework shots added to the already bloated number floating around already.
whaling
It’s been too long since updating here basically since I’ve been incredibly busy with the ending school year, a brief trip out the west coast and everything in-between. Anyway, I’ll try and catch up a bit starting now.
A few weeks ago Trish and I went on a whale watching cruise from the New England Aquarium in boston. After a week of planning and postponing we finally made it out for the Saturday afternoon boat. The boat took us about thirty miles offshore into the Atlantic to a marine preserve where humpback whales do their feeding. I didn’t know what to expect, but I didn’t expect to see so many whales and so close up. Before the boat left we heard someone ask how many whales the earlier boat had seen which was apparently around four. However we easily saw over a dozen whales including a cow and her calf. The trip was great until the boat turned back to shore and I began to get a little sea sick. But I did what I’ve always done in that situation, sleep. I find that as long as I can sleep I can pretty much shake off any motion sickness. Definitely a great little tour.
