Misty Morning Along the Mall: Photo Tales & Quotes

The statues and people faded into the mist along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall this morning.

"I like the muted sounds, the shroud of grey, and the silence that comes with fog."
Om Malik

About Photo Tales & Quotes: We keep hearing that people miss our cover photos that ran for years in the Back Bay Sun. That assignment was to provide a photo that showed what the week was like in the neighborhood. Often the photos illustrated favorite quotations. Photo Tales & Quotes is an occasional offering to our BostonZest readers featuring photos along the same theme but taken wherever we happen to be.

The Giants Are Coming...The Giants Are Coming...

Beautiful beds of Allium giganteum or Giant Allium, that is. This morning in the Public Garden, Penny noticed the buds on these members of the onion family beginning to open.

Soon they will be the subject of thousands of photographs. (Here's one that Penny took a few years ago.)

Get out there and enjoy them while you can.
