Fall produce, Halloween is coming.
We get yet another view of Trinity Church.  I try lens flare to make it more exciting

There's another duck ahead.  We tried to pass it without success

Old style and new style domes.  Massachusetts State House dome vs microwave repeater antennae.
Classic view of the Massachusetts State House
No wonder driving is such a chore in Boston!
How many bridges are in this photo?

Checking to make sure there aren't other ducks coming back in.

I would probably be using my phone as well if I was sitting on a bench by the river!
