sunday-school windows at trinity church

It is another one of those hidden gems in an architectural masterpiece that sits in the heart of the city of Boston. The Sunday School Windows were designed by Clayton & Bell of London, England. The left window depicts the story of the Presentation of Jesus, with Simeon holding the baby in his arms …
while standing nearby are Mary and Joseph.
The right window tells the story of Jesus in the Temple, with the doctors in the room …
as a young Jesus both listens and asks questions …
with two little children beside him.
Most captivating to me are the hands and the eyes, and the mix of colors and patterns within the glass, and how all of these components are pulled together to tell stories without words.
While these windows, a gift of the Children of Trinity Sunday School, are not viewable as a part of a traditional tour of Trinity Church in Copley Square, many other beautiful works can be seen as part of a tour of this historic landmark. Learn more here. Meanwhile, I look forward to sharing more images from this building and other structures in the future.

… while peering into the Charles River.
I think I was tucked at the base of a bridge along the Esplanade trying to photograph fish, and then I thought, why not photograph the patterns forming in and on the water.
I have not been back to the river much at all. We’ll see what happens before this summer’s end.

the vacant lot is now a garden

For the past few years, through the rippled glass, I have most often photographed a nearby vacant lot where dandelions would grow rampant.
But in time all things change.
In late spring, a new neighbor moved in and he has turned the field into a garden.
It is quite lush with green mounds of this, green hills of that and …
probably green peas spiraling up a new terrace made of string.
When the wind blows just right, I can catch a glimpse of gold squash blossoms.

more food images from the week

An impromptu dinner salad: two tomatoes sliced, topped with chopped red onion and fresh basil leaves, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Filling for a 3-egg omelet: chopped smoked salmon, gruyere cheese, tiny bit of red onion, and an assortment of chopped herbs (parsley, chervil and whatever else caught the chef’s eyes).
A quick breakfast: a few slices of bread, buttered and then toasted, served with a handful of fresh raspberries. Coffee and cream on the side. Overall, a yummy week, I must say.
p.s. Thanks to all for the potato recipes. In the end, they were cooked with some butter and garlic and sprinkled with herbs. You never know what the future holds, but if I do grow potatoes next year, I have my eyes on a bigger pot. 😉
