Sara Piazza > May 8, 2009. This morning I wrote in my journal, " I will take a picture today." (I don't take enough pictures lately - I absolutely need to do this for the well-being of my soul.) Late afternoon I got on my bike (ugh, out of shape - long winter), did a couple of errands, headed downtown with Haymarket as a possible destination - could be interesting on a Friday afternoon. I ended up in the public gardens, which I found to be in full bloom with color and people and life, a timeless scene. Disregard the clothing and hair styles and remove the modern contraptions and gadgets - bicycles, cell-phones, and iPods - and this could have been any spring day in the past 150 years -  Bostonians shedding the mantle of a long cold winter and recreating together. This is my favorite shot from today (in truth, I only took a handful - but at least I got the camera out of the bag). I found a group of young people, including this young man, sitting in the grass on the edge of the lagoon, playing music, laughing - have you ever noticed that young people are always laughing? -  and  taking in the glory of the day. These kids graciously allowed me into their world for a brief moment. Thank you.
