Moving right along...
Great news! My town got a Five Guys
Maybe the best rainbow I've ever seen
Frank Pepe fresh tomato pie (available only during summer!) is very, very good
We went to Great Brook Farm State Park out in Carlisle for the first time. Very very nice place!
(^^ this shot makes me think of Lord of the Rings and that early scene where they're trying to leave the Shire and they first encouter a Ring Wraith lol)
They make ice cream there!

Great Brook is a nice place to cross country ski in the winter.
Personally, I’m loyal to Bates (don’t call it Kimball’s) for ice cream.

Hey! I just hit five years of being a real estate photographer! Ask me anything!
Real Estate:
Reality:
Tripod leg in a bag of trash, door off the hinges, dudes painting, dudes drilling in cabs and mirrors, toilet chilling in the living room, paint dust on most surfaces, realtor running around like a chicken with their head cut off.....
The thing they don't tell you going in is the photographer is generally the last contractor to work on a property before it's for sale, and that means I frequently show up on deadline (we need the photos tomorrow because Friday open house is in two days!!!!!) and it's a fucking shitshow. In this case all I can do is start with whatever one or two rooms are ready ("oh just start outside".... meanwhile there's six contractor vehicles in the driveway, derp!) and then bushwhack my way out from there.
I had one hour to do photos and floor plans on this 1100 sf condo and I spent less than half that actually doing my job and instead was helping clean and assemble the place. The two mirrors in the full bath were photoshopped in because they didn't get done in time wheeeeeee https://www.redfin.com/MA/Cambridge/133-Webster-Ave-02141/unit-3/home/11549285
Not saying all this to be a complainypants, rather to give y'all a peek behind the curtain
