Picspam roundup, plus Our Fair City

[urbpan]

I need to post these pictures before I load the new batch on to Photobucket or I'll go batty! This little guy was stuck to the zoo hospital one early morning. He was gone later when I remembered he was there.




This was the first oriole I saw this year. Now I'm already ignoring them as I look for other birds.


I'll do a More Urban Species entry on this bird, the brown-headed cowbird, when I feel like my life is more under control. Can't write--must do laundrydisheswalkthedogsmorelaundrygotoworkwalkthedogswalkthedogswalkthedogswalkthedogswalkthedogslaundry


Speaking of which, we walked the dogs along the Cambridge side of the Charles last night. Those lucky MIT kids have the best possible view of Boston.


I played with the zoom on the camera to take some shots of the city. Here you can see the esplanade, Beacon Hill, the State House, and the financial district.


Nice day for sailing.


Here I was trying to get everything from the financial district to the citgo sign, but my pictures of the Fenway came out lousy.
It's probably just as well, since this is so screen-busting as it is.

I'll do your laundry for you if you'll go ahead on the cowbird entry.

Come on over! If you do the dishes I'll be able to write my next Soylent Screen column.

Hey, that was my view when I worked at MIT (for 18 years). My office was on the 4th floor of a building on Memorial Drive. I do think I stayed in that job longer than I should have because of the great office. I can't tell you how many rainbows I saw flashing behind the Pru. Or watching the boaters on the Charles in the summer.

Aw, little batty-head is so cute!
