spring has sprung!

(finally).

The weather here in Boston is rather...awkward...sometimes warm, sometimes windy, sometimes a little rainy, sometimes all of the above.

All the same, this week has been pretty warm.  And the flowers are starting to try to come out!

The trees outside my dorm are in full bloom, which make the place look a little more beautiful and a little less prison-like (it's block-ish and concrete...).

Yay lame picture taken awkwardly from my window.

'tis the season of chinese new year

...and this is what it looked like outside my window less than 2 days ago! (it still looks like that now....except the streets have been plowed).  not very festive, is it?  oh well, i'm really enjoying my classes so far, so there's something good!

vespa time!

cambridgetime!

OH THE HEAT.  And then good ol' Hurricane Earl's supposed to come...

Anyway, I put my camera around my neck, put it on "continuous" mode, and randomly held down the shutter button while walking down the street.  With interesting results.  Most of them rather bad, or of the sidewalk or something.  But interesting - to me, anyway!

approaching lady...

ooh, i'm a fast walker; past the lady and onto construction!

my shadow...
