Seeing Things

We got a fresh coat of snow last night. Sam and I had fun running errands today. He watched a couple of children sledding on the common, made eyes at smiling people on the train, and giggled at squirrels burying acorns in the snow. The light filtering through the gray sky, reflecting from the snow, muted in the dampness in the air gave a deeply saturated look to everything. I noticed small spots of color and texture I’d never paid attention to before.

    I love your pictures! Have you ever thought about making
    a photo book on Boston? Or, a children’s book called “Sam
    Goes to Boston” or “Sam Loves the Sox” or “Subway Sam.” :)

    By way of explanation (for those that don’t know about it) Hamburger Helper has a program called Hometown Helper that supports hometown projects. The Philip Barbour High School Band has applied for this program to raise funds so all of the band members can participate in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade. Here’s part of their description of the project:

    “After an extensive application process, our band was selected to appear in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade in November 2007. Our county is impoverished with fifty-four (54%)percent of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The band, known as “The Pride of Barbour County,” is an outward symbol of the goodness that permeates our community, selected as an All America City in 2004, the smallest town that year to receive the designation.”

    I think the idea is that the more support is shown for the project, the more likely it is to be awarded support through the Hometown Helper program.
