Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2007. Peter and I took Mattie to Roosevelt Island, and before crossing over the bridge to get onto the Island, Peter snapped a photo. We ventured to this Island often with Mattie. It was a wonderful place to journey because it was close to home and yet once on the Island there was so much to explore, walk, and see. Mattie never came home from a Roosevelt Island adventure empty handed. He always had a stone or branch in hand, which only added to the collection he started in our common's area.

Today was our last day visiting Peter's parents in Boston. We started our morning by walking around Horn pond. We have gotten used to seeing this mother swan and her six signets with each visit.
We even experienced a great blue heron fly over and when he settled in one location, I was able to capture this wonderful photo!
Near where the heron was perched, was a field of sunflowers. In fact, I can't get over how many sunflowers I saw planted in gardens all over New England. This really caught my attention, mainly because I love sunflowers. They remind me of the time in which Mattie battled cancer. For it was during that time, Mattie's support community frequently gave me sunflowers as gifts. Not because I liked sunflowers back then, but I suspect people thought that these flowers would brighten up our home and spirits. As a result of such kind gifts, the sunflower evolved into a symbol that represents to me community, support, and compassion.
This is a photo Peter took during take off from Boston. You can see Hull, a peninsula which is in the center of the photo.
As we were landing in Washington, DC, we flew right over National Harbor. You can't miss its landmark Ferris wheel in the middle of the water.
A view of the Downtown Mall! Moving in a straight line down we literally could see the Lincoln Memorial (by the water at the twelve o'clock position in the photo), the reflecting pool, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol Building (which is almost at the six o'clock position in the photo).
