For the second time since Susanne and I moved to Boston, we had the pleasure of stepping a few yards outside our apartment to watch the Boston Marathon. We live in Brookline, just outside of Boston; the marathon snakes through the city along Beacon Street before making the final push into Boston by way of Kenmore Square and Copley Square. Here you'll find a collection of some of the photos I snapped during the marathon. Most of them were taken near the intersection of Beacon Street and Carlton Street, near the St. Mary's T stop.

	Magnolia blossoms just off of Beacon Street.		A crowd gathers at the corner of Beacon and Carlton.
	The first wheelchair racers arrive, accompanied by a roller blader.
	Close-up of one of the wheels.
			I know this is overexposed, but I like the phot anyway.
	Another good closeup of a wheelchair racer.		The first runners arrive on the scene.
	The runners are so close you could trip them - not that you ever would....
	The trolley rolls by as more runners approach.
			Pedestrians scramble across the street in between a batch of runners.
			One of the best views in the crowd.
	One of my favorite photos from the marathon.
			This guy's so eager to finish he keeps checking his watch.
	The crowd thickens along Beacon Street.
			A view from the opposite side of the street.
			An impromptu finish line scrawled by some local kids.
			Hundreds of runners now pass us each minute.
			Lots of legs.
			Someone was actually dumb enough to roll their bike across the street at the peak of the marathon.
	Another one of my favorite pics.
			The neighborhood mastiff and boxer come out to greet the runners.
			Having a late-marathon snack.
	Handing out water to the runners.		Keeping the runners safe.
			A runner collapses and requires emergency care.
	She's just about to be taken away on a gurney.		Making their way to the finish as best as possible.
