http://urbanvista-boston.blogspot.com/2015/05/spring-in-mt-auburn.html
Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Spring in Mt. Auburn. Today was a beautiful, sunny spring day, which finally started feeling like spring was finally here. After the long, cold winter, the trees are a little late in budding and flowering. I took a walk through the beautiful landscapes. Here in my home town of Cambridge. Some of the photos I took are in a reflective blog post. But there were so many wonderful vista that I decided to post some more of them here. Hope you enjoy it!

Views of a new libertarian socialist: Tea Party Reps Fail
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2011/12/tea-party-reps-fail.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Tea Party Reps Fail. On the record, they say it's because it doesn't really stimulate the economy. But the unspoken reason is simply that Pres. Obama supports the idea, so they must oppose anything that Obama supports. And you don't steal candy from the voters! Even some conservative commentators couldn't figure out the hard line opposition by conservatives and Tea Party reps. We all know that a two month extension passed Congress and was...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: January 2012
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Monday, January 2, 2012. With tomorrow's Iowa caucuses, the candidates are off and running nomination as the Republican candidate for President. While Romney might have the best odds at getting the eventual nomination, things are still up in the air as 2012 begins. It's embarrassing at times. What am I looking for? But I don't think this candidate is out there. Let's see what happens! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog. Spring came in ...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: Syria: Crises of Complex Proportions
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2013/09/syria-crises-of-complex-proportions.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Monday, September 2, 2013. Syria: Crises of Complex Proportions. Syria is a crises that tears at our hearts when we hear of innocent civilians massacred, most recently gassed to death. Over 100,000 have died, a number equivalent to the population of my home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts. As Americans, we always ask "What should we do? Was he wise to seek political consensus? Is one a number of Syria 101. Articles that are worth a read. The article has many lin...

Views of a new libertarian socialist: June 2013
http://rachy-viewsofalibertariansocialist.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Views of a new libertarian socialist. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Marriage and the Supreme Court. The high court issued two land-mark decisions on what is popularly called "same sex marriage." In separate 5-4 decis-ions, the court's decisions came out with decisions favorable to supporters of same sex marriage. We will shortly see the barrage of political spin on all fronts. But, from my analysis, the court decided in a logical manner. Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) Decision. We will hear religious leaders...

Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity: December 2013
http://urbanvista-boston.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity. Sunday, December 22, 2013. December brings short days and chilled evenings. But what compensates for shivering outside and inside alike (our place is not so well-insulated) is the soft yellow lighting. Of the later afternoons, as well as the Christmas card dusk light of snow-covered scenes, such as the one on the right in Brookline, just outside of Boston. The visual treats make the winter evenings of December a special time of the year. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity: January 2015
http://urbanvista-boston.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity. Monday, January 19, 2015. The Bleak Midwinter and a Walk Around the Pond at Dusk. Our nearly snow-less winter continues. However, that has not meant that the cold hasn't invaded our fair city (Cambridge, MA). The Charles River is frozen. And so is Fresh Pond. The bleak midwinter without snow is especially bleak. The cold keeps one from lingering and there is little to see in the snowless, barren landscape. Hope is hard to find. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Thanks to my f...

Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity: October 2013
http://urbanvista-boston.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Views of a Muted Autumn. Perhaps it's been a bit dry, or it was too wet, or the temperatures too warm. I'm not sure, but the colors have been fairly muted this fall. Often we witness truly brilliant colors. We have the bright oranges and reds of the sugar maples, the brilliant yellows of the honey locusts, birch and flowering pears. Each tree's timing is a little different, creating a magnificent backdrop of color. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://urbanvista-boston.blogspot.com/2014/11/along-charles-in-late-fall.html
Urban Vistas: Boston and Vicinity. Saturday, November 8, 2014. Along the Charles, in the Late Fall. It was a beautiful, sunny day, despite the cold (about 4-45 deg. F or around 5 deg. C). I ventured out to Watertown Square and rode back to "our fair city" (Cambridge) along the bike path. Leaves float in a small. Lagoon off the side. Of the bike path. Bare trees,green trees, and fall foliage mix along the river bank. At the riverbend out in brighton. Grand trees line the riverbank park. Hope you enjoy it!
