Earlier this week Facebook and Twitter were awash with beautiful photographs of a brilliant rainbow that spanned much of Boston.  Enjoy these pictures.

This is a photograph looking out over Huntington Avenue from The Museum of Fine Arts Boston. I love how picture includes Dallin’s statue “Appeal to the Great Spirit’.  It looks like he’s giving thanks to the rainbow.

Here is another favorite. I love this view from Cambridge of the Back Bay neighborhood with the muted colors in the Charles River.

Like what you see? The Boston Globe did a great job collecting photos that were posted on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, here.

Andy Woodruff over at the Bostonography blog wrote a post in December 2012 entitled Blue and Bluer: Massachusetts and Boston.  The post provided some really interesting insights into the voting habits of Boston and Massachusetts; home to some of the most progressive voters in the United States.

Part of that analysis included a breakdown of racial groups in Boston. It is not clear to me if the breakdown is based upon registered voters or US Census data, but either way it is an interesting image (see above). I would love to see how this has changed from the previous century in decade blocks. My guess is that the map of Boston has become far more colorful in the past 30+ years, and to paraphrase Martha Stewart, I think that is “very good thing”.

After an unseasonably cold and rainy Memorial Day weekend, Bostonians are breathing a sigh of relief that warmer weather is just days away.

It is especially good news for The AIDS Action Committee who will host the AIDS Walk & 5K Run Boston on Sunday, June 2nd.  Enjoy the great weather and talk to friends about coming down to the Hatch Shell on Sunday morning to support this year’s AIDS Walk & 5K Run Boston a success.

Beautiful image of Boston Common on Memorial Day.  33,000 Flags were placed on the Common today in memory and honor of the number of fallen soldiers from the Bay State. It offers a somber but beautiful image I wanted to share.  Much thanks to John Pompeii from who I swiped this photo.

Boston beer brewer, Harpoon will be hosting their namesake festival this Friday and Saturday.  HarpoonFest, is hosted at their brewery in Boston’s Seaport District.

More info about Harpoon’s two day summer festival, HarpoonFest here.

No worries about getting a ride to or from the brewery.  Uber is offering $25 off the town car ride by using the code “bosharpoonfest” for anyone who has yet to use the car service.
