On Boston Common Today

What a beautiful day!  The sun is out, the sky is blue, and the temperatures are trying to warm up.  Boston Common is abuzz with preparations for Monday's marathon, with lots of tents being erected, crowd fencing being positioned, what looks like the entire state of Massachusetts' supply of Port-A-Potties lining up along the Beacon Street side of the park, and scores of bright orange-shirted volunteers deployed all over the place making it all happen.

The lovely weather also brought scores of people, children, and dogs to enjoy the scenery.  Here you can see someone had a giant bubble maker that was enchanting lots of kids!
