Pedestrians and cyclists — and drivers, too — need streets designed for safety. Sign the petition, Boston. benjaminsiegel.github.io/enough-is-en...

Fungal art. Or dinner.

A couple more views of tall ships gracing Boston Harbor during the Parade of Sail.

Time traveling with the tall ships in Boston Harbor this morning.

As a cyclist and pedestrian, Louisa Gag‘s tragic death is a chilling reminder of how vulnerable we all are when crowded streets are designed to maximize car throughput rather than safety. Sign a petition to Mayor Wu to get stalled road safety projects moving again. bit.ly/enoughboston

Llama farm life.

Hiking a segment of the Appalachian Trail near Upper Goose Pond in Massachusetts.

By the dawn’s early light.

An extreme closeup from nature. Can you identify it?

Hurray for the 14th!

Blossoms for a Monday that demands relief from so much infuriating news.

Sunday morning traffic.

Whatever else is happening, remember to look skyward from time to time.

A little relief from the Monday morning news scroll…

Boston is a lovely place to walk.

Juneteenth!

A coffee ceremony shared…

Had some business in Back Bay, so here’s a steamy, early-summer-in-the-city view.

A moment of lush and quiet beauty in the wilds of the city.

Routine.

Boston gave me a gorgeous welcome home view.

Dusk at the pond… Jamaica Plain, MA

We left the city traffic and heat behind as we climbed into the cool mists of Bukidnon.

An older part of downtown Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao, Philippines is now bustling with trikes, motorbikes, cars, and jeepneys. Signs from newer shops jostle at street level with those of the past, like the broken neon of the long-vanished Skyhi Theatre.

Sunset over the Bohol Sea.

Surrounded by the thrum of steady rain as the afternoon thunderstorm rolls down the mountain… Bukidnon, Mindanao.

Much to think about.

Impersistence.

Summertime at the Fens.
