Nikon is where it’s at when it comes to photography. And looking through your city like a tourist certainly has photographic opportunities.
Boston is a pretty the summer. Here are some snapshots of August life in beantown:

Memorial Hall, Harvard Yard, Cambridge. I call it the “Harry Potter Building” for its Hogwarts-like appearance.

Laila is a five-month old German Shepherd whom I met while walking along the Charles River in Cambridge. Love her curiosity, the playfulness in her manner, and those ears!
