Who could turn down a trip to the Museum of Science? It had been a while since our last visit, so Steve & I met up with family (Nick & Krysten) to see what was new. We also had a chance to see the show “Deep Sky” at the Mugar Omni Theatre! It was awesome!
JANUARY 2025
This month’s story is a small offering of what was seen during our visit through photographs captured on my husband’s digital camera…
A VISIT TO THE
MUSEUM OF SCIENCE
BOSTON
Back on my bullshit for 2025! :D
Happy 2025!!! It is the middle of winter and it’s freezing…a wonderful opportunity for the Museum to featre “Arctic Adventure”. It was an adventure all right! An adventure where you attempt to remain warm while they pump in cold air from outside into the exhibit! :)
All joking aside, it featured an amusing game where one person directs you to pick up supplies and another person uses a device to pick them up. It was very funny how each time you would successfully pick up a supply….a large crevice (that you’re supposed to avoid) would appear over the area anyways! I made it out alive :)
The Interior Hallways of the musuem are large, open spaces. I feels like it hasn’t changed much over the years…but then again this place is always renovating something.
Many cool things to check out in the hallways outside of the exhibits!
There are a lot of cool variations of minerals on display to check out. The rock on the right is Amethyst.
It is a fact that one of the best views of the Charles River, as well as the Boston Skyline, is from the back windows of the Museums Lobby. Soon the ice will melt away on the river and it will be Spring again!
Steve & I had a great time hanging out with Nick & Krysten at the Museum of Science. I always recommend everyone to check out a show at the Mugar Omni Theatre, the screen is incredible!
To end this month’s story, a portriat of Nick & Krysten on one of the stairways!
I taught Nick & Krysten everything they know about posing for photos. ….just kidding :)
Here is to another year full of new and memorable stories!!!
Until Next Month…

It was the beginning of February when, sitting at my desk, I receive a text from my friend David. He was messaging to remind me it had been quite a while since we last hung out. He was right too….we hadn’t seen each other since the holidays.
When David shared with me he lived in Leominster…I saw an opportunity to check out a city in Massachusetts I had never visited before, as well as spend time with a great friend! :)
FEBRUARY 2025
This month’s story includes photography taken at Barret’s Park in Leominster. We headed there after we had lunch downtown!
HANGING OUT
WITH MY FRIEND DAVID
AT BARRETT PARK
LEOMINSTER
I asked Steve to take a few photos of us before we explored the park! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
It was just warm enough outside to do a bit of exploring. David & I had a few photos together taken by Steve in the parking area. I wanted something to remember our first trip to Leominster!
Included below are some of the amusing photos we took!
David is the quiet, clever jokester! He always cracks me up!!! Photo Credit (6 photos above): Steve Calitri
I grabbed some flowers out of the car I had brought to take photos with and we headed down the path towards Colburn Pond, the body of water in the middle of the park. It was a bit icey on the path but we made it safely! David took out his digital camera and gave me suggestions to pose for the photos.
Below are a mixture of landscape photos and a couple of outstanding portraits taken of me by my incredibly talented friend David!
The sky was perfect on this afternoon and David captured the scenery perfectly. This is no surprise to me as he is an exceptional landscape photographer! :) Photo Credit : David Banta-Garcia
I love how David captured my eyes as well as the details of the roses in the 3 portraits above! Photo Credit : David Banta-Garcia
An outstanding photo of Colburn Pond! Photo Credit : David Banta-Garcia
The final photo of this month’s story is easily one of my favorites. A sihouette of a single rose with the horizon behind it! David captured pure magic in this photo!
Truly a memorable afternoon with one of my awesome friends hanging out in Leominster! I will definitely be returning here when the weather gets a bit warmer to explore more of the city!
Thank you a million times for these awesome silhouette photos David! Such a vibe! Photo Credit : David Banta-Garcia

Towards the end of March, I finally got a chance to check out the Winteractive Art Exhibits at Boston City Hall Plaza! While not only located at City Hall, two of the installations I really wanted to check out were here: Sonic Runway & Cycle.
If there is one thing I love about Boston…it is the amount of public art it features throughtout the city neighborhoods each year!
MARCH 2025
This month’s story includes photography taken at Boston City Hall Plaza. Enjoy all the creative vibes of these photos made possible by the night sky!
THE FINAL DAYS
OF WINTERACTIVE’s
OUTDOOR ART EXHIBIT
AT CITY HALL PLAZA
BOSTON

It was a really nice night, weather wise, when I visited City Hall in Boston. I noticed a high level of people at Fanuel Hall as I made by way to the art installations I wanted to check out.
Sonic Runway uses light - matched with music - to create an interesting and colorful pathway to walk through. I loved it!
Included below are some of the photos my husband captured at the Sonic Runway!
How could you say no to a photo opportunity inside the Sonic Runway!? Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
Across the plaza is the newly renovated Government Center Subway Station. I love how it’s lit up blue and green! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
Nearby, the next art installation I wanted to check out was called Cycle. It comes to life, responding with light, to bystanders reactions.
So of course I had to walk across the top of the installation and make it glow. The glow that emanates from it is very cool!

The continuous bright, bluish glow is really special! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
Another wonderful view of Boston City Hall, lit up at night! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
I went back to the Sonic Runway and asked Steve to take some photos of me as the colored light hit my face. I love using neon/glowing light in this way. It creates such colorful portraits!
Below is what was created!

As this momth’s story comes to an end, I am sharing one of my favorite photos from that evening. A photo of Boston City Halls entrance lit up at night. It was such great weather for photography!
Thank you to the city of Boston for cool public art exhibitions like Winteractive
Lastly, thanks to my husband Steve for having a digital camera that takes amazing photos at night!
Boston City Hall really is special in its own way! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
I hope the Sonic Runway returns to Boston in the future! Photo Credit: Steve Calitri
Until Next Month…
