May 05



Happy Cinco de Mayo.

Compare and contrast this photo to the Photo of the Day from April 27. Same street, same approximate shooting location, but visually different results. It's chilly and rainy in Boston today, and with winds in the teens many of the blooms have blown off the trees. Everything is refreshingly green, of course, which is still nice to look at.

I thought it was most pronounced looking at St. Botolph Street this afternoon after parking my car for work. Along the sidewalks and around parked cars there's a carpet of white flower petals. Traffic, winds and rain have washed clean the streets.

I also snapped this picture in a brief respite from the rain, when I felt it safe to take my camera out. Rainy days depress me a bit, so I took the opportunity to get a photo when I could.
