i jokingly say "bury me in massachusetts" pretty often, but it's weekends like this one that i seriously mean it. since i'm going to be out of town for weddings the next two weekends, i figured it was the perfect time to frolic around with a cup of mulled cider and a scarf and do a little boston walkabout.
as a bonus, it was honkfest this weekend, so i got to enjoy some of the bands playing in davis square on saturday afternoon. if you don't know about honkfest, the short version is that it's a huge gathering of activist musicians who form brass bands and dress up in crazy outfits and have fun and play tunes all weekend. then there's a parade on sunday afternoon (pictures of that later).
when i got into the city, i headed straight for FALL CENTRAL aka beacon hill. i was bummed that there weren't more halloween decorations up yet, but it was still beautiful and quaint and the ridiculously wealthy residents were staaaarting to get into the spirit.
then i wandered back through boston common to locate *~THE TREE~* which just steals every other tree's shine. foliage on fleek.
also very into this scene:
and of course, there was some kind of colonial reenactor thing happening, because why wouldn't there be?
I'M DEAD (and no, i don't know this man, but it was too perfect):
and i couldn't stop, wouldn't stop the honkfest festivities, so i went to the parade today and got some sweet shots with my real camera.
that's all, folks. thanks for indulging me here, because if i were to post every photo i wanted to post on instagram i'd most definitely have no friends OR followers. :) :) :) :(
