Some bright shrubbery along High Street. As soon as I saw the color in the distance I knew I needed to get a photo of it.

Boothby Square, Fall 2016

Looking back to last October on this Thursday afternoon. A well-placed bench in Boothby Square provides a nice spot to watch the hustle and bustle of the Old Port.

Spring is in the Air

A pleasant scene from Bug Light Park in South Portland yesterday afternoon. It took a while, but all of the sudden it feels rather spring-like here.

American Dream Rising

A building rising behind "The American Dream" sculpture in Lincoln Park. One of the questions asked by Judith Hoffman, the artist of the piece, is "how does a society that so highly values the material gain embodied in home ownership transcend self-interest and become community?" The contrast with the new construction, a shared living space (albeit an luxurious one), caught my eye. You can read more about the sculpture here.

Finally Spring

I took a leisurely bike ride out to Fort Williams Park in Cape Elizabeth on this unseasonably warm first day of April. So glad it's finally spring!
