If you’re looking for some means of enjoying the fine weather that is expected this weekend, you might consider taking the commuter rail to Salem and checking out the Trash Menagerie, followed by a stroll along the water front.

Or, if you’d rather not travel so far, consider the public art along the Boston Harbor Walk. The Neponsett River Park area in Dorchester is an under-appreciated (even if art-free) treasure. Note that although the pages for each neighborhood appear blank, a list of specific areas is given in the left-hand menu.

On the subject of stopping to take a look around you, the New Visions exhibition of up-and-coming local artists includes local photographer Mark Peterson. His Scaryville collection of industry along the Mystic River will be displayed, and it can also be previewed online.

Two weekends hence, another local non-profit is hosting a small environmental film festival.
