Auditor of the Commonwealth candidates forum

Today, all three democratic candidates for Auditor of the Commonwealth were in Harvard, MA today for a forum that was sponsored by the Middlesex and Worcester Democratic coalition. If I learned one thing about the candidates and the Office of Auditor of the Commonwealth, is that I wish I could vote for all three. I felt that they all had good qualifications and good ideas. I also felt that all three candidates respect each other and behave as if they have been long time friends.

Flower show - part 2

Boston Flower and Garden Show

While this is a 'new' flower show. Many of the crew and exhibitors are veterans from the now defunct New England Spring Flower Show that was put on by the Massachusetts Horticulture Society. I have been photographing the show with an "eye towards lighting" for Nancy Goldstein Design for years now.
