Earlier this month, it was Mexico's Pacific realm that was in jeopardy: Hurricane John washed over the Baja California peninsula, threatening the popular beaches of Los Cabos, above.

One way Bostonians celebrate the autumnal equinox is by singing along the banks of the Charles River. RiverSing, now in its third year, is a free outdoor concert celebrating the approach of fall.
