A mish-mash of some recent photos:
A bridge tower of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge at night. I liked the lines of the lit bridge tower against the dark sky. Typically referred to as the Zakim Bridge, the towers are shaped to represent the nearly Bunker Hill Monument, which commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill, fought during the American Revolutionary War.

Storrow Drive with light trails and the Boston skyline at night. I was setup on a footbridge over the road, which is the occasional site of what is locally called a "Storrowing": this road has several low bridges and tunnels through which trucks cannot pass. Despite warning signs, height warning chains/bars, flashing lights, and media campaigns, "Storrowing" is a common event, especially during college move-in where students and parents drive to Boston for the first time in their moving trucks and can't comprehend a city that built bridges that trucks cannot fit under. In reality, the road was originally a parkway designed for cars only.

A photo of my niece taking a penalty shot at a hockey tournament. Although it looks like she might have the goalie beat, the puck went above the net.

Finally, a work in progress: this male American goldfinch is changing from his relatively drab winter plumage to the bold black, white, and yellow plumage of mating season. This male seems to be more advanced in plumage than other males, which might give him a breeding advantage soon.
