📣Great news from Dorchester today! My amazing mother, Millie, a two-time cancer survivor, just got a negative yearly mammogram result!

💖Her strength is an absolute inspiration, especially during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives.

She’s my hero!🦸🏻‍♀️

❤️ As far back as I can remember, I’ve loved arepa. Whether brought straight from the Dominican Republic or baked by my mother at home, it’s always been more than dessert.

🇩🇴 It’s comfort. It’s culture. It’s connection.

Made with love, steeped in tradition, and always a taste of home.✨

Neptune Towers apartments, 130 Neptune Blvd, Lynn MA photographed from Buck Hill.

I was going through some of my past photo shoots and came across this photo of this pair of apartment buildings reflecting the late day sun. I had not previously identified these buildings or much of the detail seen in this image. This particular day (Nov 2024) was marred by wildfire smoke and air turbulence, but with some corrections, I was able to get a decent resulting image.

As I am looking at the two apartment buildings, I noticed what appeared to be the faint outline of a tower, exactly between the two buildings. At first I thought my eyes were playing a trick on me, but it turns out this is the steeple of Saint Stephen's Memorial Episcopal Church, 74 S Common St, Lynn MA.

To the right of the aparment building is the former Mary T Ronan School, 154 Bradstreet Ave, Revere MA. This building now serves as housing for the elderly. Below the apartments and school building there are many houses that can be seen, most of which are on Pearl Ave, Revere MA.

Below the houses and above the water there is a bridge that spans between Saratoga St, East Boston and Main St Winthrop MA.

Below the bridge is a portion of Logan Airport with a couple of jets on the runways. Below the airport is part of Conley Terminal, 700 Summer St, South Boston MA. These look like they are adjoined in the photo, but they are on different pennisulas.

A the very bottom of the frame is an apartment building at 171 Walnut St, Dorchester MA and the spire of the Community Church of Neponset, 51 Walnut St, Dorchester MA.
