Back Bay

Despite living in the Boston area since 2001, I’ve never seen the city get this much snow all at once. Once the snow stopped falling, I joined many Bostonians in walking around the city to take in the magnitude of the blizzard. Here are some of my photos.

The view from above – a sign of what’s to come outside!

Commonwealth Ave. Mall walking path – not too bad compared to the size streets and sidewalks

Walking – erm, trudging, along Marlborough Street

The reality of post-blizzard street parking in the Back Bay

Really happy this isn’t my car! This is what many Bostonians who parked on the street had to deal with following the storm.

Brrrrr…..baby it’s cold outside! Despite to cold temperatures, Boston is still just as beautiful as ever. I snapped the photo here during a wintry stroll at dusk along the Commonwealth (“Comm”) Ave. path in the Back Bay. The bare trees, accented by festive lights and snow, offer a scenic backdrop worth sharing. As someone who loves pausing to enjoy the beauty in the everyday, I hope that you’ll enjoy this photo as well.

Ah, Boston in January. Here’s a quick snapshot that I captured recently while on a snowy walk home. Doesn’t the Back Bay look beautiful and serene in the snow? Now, if only I actually enjoyed the wintery weather!
