Funny how quickly the photos pile up in beautiful weather. Winter days offer fewer opportunities, unless there’s a big snowstorm. Most of today’s pictures illustrate how I am drawn to spring’s strong sunlight.
Sunshine highlights the candles offered by the Barrow Bookstore, a shop featuring used books and much more — for example, birdhouses made from books.
I have a couple shots of people getting ready for the Patriots Day parade, which is always a big deal here. (Well, unless there’s a pandemic.) “The shot heard ’round the world,” usually credited with being the first shot of the American Revolution, happened at the North Bridge in our town, April 19, 1775. This year I managed to get up there in time to join the crowd watching the reenactment. Lots of noise and smoke and harmless musket shots.
I have no idea why a pine cone is nailed into a tree, but my camera is always drawn to oddball things.
The Toad Abode is at a community garden in Massachusetts, and the flowering trees are in Rhode Island.
From sunlight to dark: the moving musical Titanic, sung by some of the strongest voices I have heard since Covid. We weren’t allowed to take pictures during the show, but they put up a couple of their haunting slides before the show and at intermission. I guess you know what happened at that longitude and latitude. So many people to blame! So much hubris!
Having not been to theater for a long time, I managed to attend three shows in one week, all masked up, of course. I saw my youngest grandchild in a production of The Wizard of Oz. She had written invitations to each child in her class, and many came. Then I attended Footloose with my eldest grandson, who had friends in the cast. And finally, I presented my vaccination card at our local community theater and enjoyed the Titanic along with a lot of other matinee-loving old folks.

There was someone eating in the truck, but I couldn’t resist the poppies!

Wonderful you could go to three performances! Especially when one of them included your granddaughter. Beautiful stairs and carpet, and the tree shadows are especially fine.

Two venues requested the audience to wear masks but didn’t police it. I felt most comfortable at the show that not only required masks but made everyone show proof of vaccination.

Yes, indeed! As I’m sure you know, Covid is on the rise again.
