Our Photo of the Day comes via Instagram user Sage Hiller. I think it’s always a nice surprise when you get a peek at downtown Boston from JP, like this one from the Arboretum.
Back in the 1980s, when Boston bands like Aerosmith, The Cars and J. Geils were topping the charts nationally, a flourishing ecosystem of not-quite-so-famous groups were struggling farther down the pyramid.
“There were another 2,000 bands trying to claw their way up the food chain,” said musician and author Terry Kitchen, whose new book and CD, “Next Big Thing,” is set in that world.

Not that the Arboretum needs help looking pretty, but here’s a photo of a recent “yarn bombing” of the treasured outdoor tree museum. The photo is by Daisy B, via Flickr.
