Hey, giant paper mache puppets! What an original idea for the First Night parade.
Ah, but the kids seem to like them.
The party started in Copley Square...
And ended at the waterfront at midnight.
And everyone went home.
More First Night photos after the jump.
I took these photos early yesterday morning. Then I came home and inadvertently deleted them from the memory card. Using software from Media Recover, I was able to undelete them from the card.
Off 3A in Marshfield.
A broken branch rests on the power wires.
Here are the traditional "other side of Christmas," Christmas Eve photos, taken around the city last night.
The lights are burning in the jewelers building (left) to accommodate last minute shoppers in Downtown Crossing.

A prize-winning display at Humboldt and Walnut Ave in Roxbury.
Not much open downtown, but a few people are out on Tremont Street. (For more photos click continue....)
It was a cold, windy and snow-blown day around Boston yesterday as this photo in Franklin Field shows.
But we're lucky. All we have to contend with is the occasional noreaster. Lake effect snow is another story. Here's a satellite photo of a bad snow day around the Great Lakes.
While everyone else was shopping, I spent a few hours this morning in the renovated Museum of Modern Art in New York. I actually like a lot of this stuff, especially the photography and a lot of the mid 20th century paintings. But still, there's much to poke fun at.
A fan of Robert Ryman's Twin.
The things we do to impress women. A young couple admires Reinhardt's Abstract Painting 1960-1965
Edward Ruscha's OOF (next to Roy Lichtenstein's
Drowning Girl.)
Flag, by Jasper Johns.
It was a little chilly in Midtown, but just about right for holiday sightseeing. I brought a new Panasonic Lumix camera to try out and took these photos earlier this evening.
Santa was out on 5th Ave.
And the chestnuts were roasting.
More Photos after the jump...
Fog settles in over Fields Corner this afternoon.
The rain backed up traffic on Dorchester Ave tonight.
And umbrellas were the order of the day in Upham's Corner.
Going through old directories, I found a couple of photos to post; the first, a shot of two woman standing on a Barcelona sidewalk in an animated conversation; the second, a blind right hand shot out the passenger window as I was passing International Place, driving on the then elevated Central Artery.
I want to fill some space to check out some fomatting questions, so here are a few vacation photos (all taken with an old 2mp Olympus Camedia.)
And here are a few photos, republished, of Fenway on the night the Sox won in St. Louis.
