The transformation of a rock. They start off ‘au natural’, and when you place them together, and paint them white, it’s nature’s canvas, and a magnet for graffiti. But, if you channel the mind of an artist, then one simple rock becomes happiness. And if you apply that […]
Have I mentioned that I like bees ??? 🐝🐝🐝 – We’re still waiting for bees to try our new 8 story condo. Here’s a cool bee series, from PCP …
I have a recurring dream, where I can literally fly, by just flapping my arms. I know, I’m fucking krazy. I soar over the land, it’s fun, and creepy all at once… Anywho, I want to do what this Kingfisher can. A great set of long shot captures […]
You may not see her, but you know that song when she sings it. The Song sparrow …
A Northern Waterthrush – another first for me spotted at PCP …
Just before I made my ‘mistake’, I got a few good snaps of a Yellow Warbler, and the Robin sitting on her nest. And the Love cat rock has a new squirrel …
Every so often, one can make a mistake, and have unintended consequences. I was walking through PCP, and at some point after the rocks I set my camera into ‘illustration’ mode. It creates an interesting effect with the image. It remained like that for the rest of my […]
It’s been a while since I updated these. I added 480+ new pics to My Favorite Prints 📷 … I hope you enjoy them – follow the link to Jack Leone Photography 📷
Happy 420 everyone, enjoy this special reggae tune for today. Turn up the volume … Don’t worry, it’s legal now in NYC, so … be Happy …😉 Puff Puff Pass
Peek-a-boo, I see you. they like to hide @PCP, but I still spot them. The Robin, the Northern Flicker, and the Red-bellied woodpecker. And the Brown Creeper is always a hard guy to spot, and capture. It never stays still …
The rocks @PCP have been repainted, and they look awesome …
Hoping you all had a peaceful Easter – HjL made out like a bandit for Easter. And it was real nice to see some of the family we haven’t see for a while. Thanks to BmL & FjL for the wonderful brunch …
Here’s a generous sampling of some of the other ‘regulars’. I especially like the angelic pose of our handsome house finch. We have a very nice selection of regulars at the feeders, and water fountains. And for the most part, they all get along. We have the grey […]
The Starling are building a nest, and using part sof our tree stump. They’re re-using last years nest in the tree limb …
The Mockingbird – another new regular. He sings for hours all day long on the lightpole, or neighbors tree. Recently, he discovered the suet. And he likes it. A lot. Comes by several times a day, and is not skittish at all. He also at times, has to […]
April’s full Pink Moon. It’s not really pink. I helped out a bit. A couple of other moon shots a few days prior …
We had our second brood of Praying Mantis nymphs emerge. HjL was here when they started to emerge, and she got a kick out of watching them, and letting them crawl on her. Check out the slow motion videos, kinda eerie to watch as they slither out of […]
We’ve had a crew of Chipping Sparrows stop by the nature preserve, we call a yard. A very photogenic bird. A group of 4-5 have been here, not sure how long they stick around. I’m thinking that I got enough pics …
Who remembers a mid-70’s Ford Granada ? Spotted one cruising the Cross Island. With it’s historical plates, so you know it’s a cherry. And built like a tank …
Scenes from Oakland Lake & Bayside Marina – Out and about at Oakland Lake again last week. Very nice day, and we got some nice pics of the active wildlife. Including red-winged blackbirds, the swans, and their nest with eggs. Even spotted a Red-bellied woodpecker pair, working on […]
While walking through Flushing Meadows Park the other day, I spotted my first Mourning Dove nest. They were just tucked into a corner of a large tree above the walkway …
Our first Praying Mantis egg case resulted in about 150 mantis emerging. Dropped them all in the garden. We have THOUSANDS more, so not to worry … 🦗
We spotted this golf cart style car on the Cross Island. I recognized it as the VW Thing. Turns out it is a 1974 Volkswagen Thing Acapulco Edition. Here’s some interesting information on this piece of shit car … I did some research, and this particular vehicle sold for […]
We walked through Oakland Lake again. The swan pair have about 8 eggs on the nest. We lucked out, we got there during the changing of the guard. While they were doing some nest housekeeping, I got some pretty good snaps of the eggs. I count 8. I […]
A pretty good series of a Kingfisher on the prowl at PCP. And if you’ve got good eyes, you’ll see he’s got something to nibble on in one of the shots …
New Exclusive Easter Egg and Batman Pez dispensers are joining the Pez collection. The Easter egg has a dancing bunny, with 2022 printed on a purple egg, and a new mold for the Justice League Batman.
Rumor has it that there will be a few more Funko Pop! Pez dispensers coming out. So, I’m backfilling some missing Chase dispensers, that are reasonably priced. Here’s the Chase versions of He-Man, and Merman from the Masters of the Universe set. Sweet additions to the Pez collection, […]
If veal is your thing, then try the veal spiedini at Parkside in Corona…
Happy Birthday to my beautiful Bacigalup. I love you today and always. Wishing you a great special day today. Thank you for being … We all love you ♥♥♥
Happy Birthday Pumpkin & Nana – Today was Pumpkin’s birthday, and tomorrow is Nana’s, so HjL and JjLJr stopped over. We baked a cake, sang Happy Birthday to baby pumpkin, and to Nana. Pumpkin even blew her own candles out.👶🏼 💗
