I walked through PCP park the other day, and found the migration path for the monarch butterflies. Dozens of monarchs passed by me at the same spot within a half hour. Then on my way home, one of them dropped from the sky, and ended it’s journey early […]
Spotted these migrating Semipalmated Sandpipers taking a break on a rock at the Bayside Marina …
We have 3 new Pez Haulers added to the Pez collection. There’s a Yellow rig, with Pez Makes You Smile, a blue rig with the lemon Mascot, and a white rig, with Pez candy on the sides … 🚛
Picked up this slick book for the grandkids to read … Everything I need to know I learned from Led Zeppelin …
Happy Birthday shout outs to 3 colleagues, EP, ShR, and JC
20 years ? 2 decades ? For some, like me, it feels not so long ago. I’m reminded of this day often, and still have difficulty watching all the ‘pomp & circumstance’ every year. We’re a country that has lost it’s way. We’ve learned nothing during these past […]
Years ago, while we were repainting, we misplaced a wooden nail that was used back in the 1600’s for building houses. The nail was from what was called The Lawrence House. We lived right next door to the house, when we were living on 129th street and 14th […]
New GOT Pez be gotten. The new Game of Thrones Pez dispenser gift tin has been released, and for you fans, it’s a slick looking tin, with the Iron Throne made of swords, on the back. We have Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and the Night King. […]
This female cardinal hit the jackpot when she got her beak onto a nice, juicy praying mantis. That praying mantis wasn’t going easy, and managed to slip out of her grasp, to live another day …
Tropical Storm Ida kicked our asses. We’ve never seen rain like this, nor the amount of water racing down the road. We were lucky. We had only 5 inches of water in our basement. And my trash can floated into the neighbors backyard. Others, not so much. Our […]
Imagine a city, whose people are so stoopid, the city has to paint signs on the street to remind you that the sewers aren’t trash cans. Now, if they were smart, they’d also install some trash cans here and there … #WeAreDoomed
Spotted these critters snacking at Powells Cove. We had the Snowy Egret, a seagull snacking on fish, and a juvenile Great Blue Heron, keeping a watchful eye over things …
If you’ve ever driven through Malba, you’ll recognize this old weeping willow. She was a grand sight to see, unfortunately, the last couple of years have been hard on her, and she won’t be around for much longer …
We have a new black squirrel making the rounds in the yard …
Spotted a cicada up a tree. Yup, don’t know how I did it, but I managed to spot this critter from over 30 feet away …
ATOP THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT, ARE DISPLAYED TWO WORDS: Laus Deo. Just in case you may not have known… One detail that is seldom mentioned is that in Washington, D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington Monument. With all the uproar about removing […]

Say hello to Tikki and Plagg. These are 2 new Pez dispensers that join Ladybug and Cat Noir from the European Miraculous Pez series. Slick new additions to the Pez collection, and museum …
Spotted this Cormorant snacking on a fairly large fish @the Jetty. You had to see it juggle and get it down it’s gullet. When it was finished, it hopped up on a pylon, and then started airing it all out …
The cicada invasion has started. They’ve been making a racket, and I already spotted a empty casing on my brick steps. Should be spotting live ones if they stay low on the trees …
I saw on the news this morning, that Barney, that roaming lone bull still hasn’t been captured. Well, guess what. Checking me trail camera for the backyard critters, and instead of cats, coons, or possum, this time, it seems Barney visited our yard. I suppose word is out, […]
It’s the possum’s turn to roam the yard. 25 x 100 property, and it’s like the Bronx Zoo back there …
Here’s a good set of captures of a Snowy Egret enjoying some snacks @the Jetty. I even have shots of him catching the crab, and tossing it into it’s own mouth. He don’t need no stinking hands …
We have a leucistic Canada goose @the Jetty that visits each year. It’s the only one I’ve ever spotted. I did some research, and it could also be a leucistic Graylag goose. I ain’t not botanist, so I’m just happy to have spotted it …
Now that weed is legal in NYC, everyone is outdoors toking freely … We even spotted NF25 chilling with his homies @the Jetty, smoking a few joints. And, they had Marley blasting “don’t worry, be happy…” – I don’t think the million dollar neighbors are too happy …
We never got the heavy storm they predicted, but we did get a rainbow over the Point, which later on led to a nice moon view as it was setting … 🌈 🌙
Kemosabe, maize grow big. We have 4 ears now growing quite well, and one of them looks nearly ready for harvest. According to google, once the silk turns brown, it can be harvested. The bigger one is just about there … 🌽🌽🌽🌽
Spotted these Terns dive bombing, and fishing for lunch @PCP in the cove. And if you look closely, one of them dropped their catch .,..
Spotted this Monarch butterfly in our front tree. We’re growing fennel, so hopefully, we’ll be back breeding butterflies by next summer …
