I also tagged some favorites on Flickr today. I guess any one of the following photos could represent animal cruelty but one really stands out as possible for me.

This really works for me in black and white.
I can’t keep my eyes off of the center part, mirror of dark wheel well by the dark mailbox behind it. The slight downhill angle and the difference of the dark street with the light building.

This also takes me back to the hood I lived in back in those days but in Brooklyn, NY

This seems like satellite camouflage.

Find this so clean and geometric. Kind of endless. View the largest version

Alf – in Farum’s contribution to this pool is unique. As the second of the top five contributers, I didn’t think I’d get this type of aerial photography when I started this pool. Nice surprise.

Please, if you have photos from the airplane, feel free to add to Aeroplane In Flight pool.

Wedding day, originally uploaded by anto-XIII.

I’m diggin’ this original wedding photo idea. Well. maybe it’s not an original idea but I finally found a photo of it.

Peace Yo, originally uploaded by HabitForming.

I like this sticker a lot and it makes me think, “Like, what’s up Peace!?”
It gives me a little nostalgic feeling too.

What if… Peace was one of our closest friends and every once in a while we were surprised by an action of Peace.

Even in my concrete jungle it doesn’t take much to notice that Spring is in full swing. The temperature is still chilly but the birds are building nests, the squirrels are stealing from the feeder and the trees are dropping seeds. The leaves aren’t out yet so it gives me the chance too to follow a few woodpeckers I’ve noticed recently from tree to tree. That and the occasional bird of prey would be the most exotic birds I observe around here but I’ll take it. Oh, maybe you would call dozens of pigeons flying in circles above the coop down the street exotic too.

When I pay attention and realize what nature is saying, it usually is the birds making a particular noise when the squirrel is on the feeder. Ha! I feel like they are training me to scare away the intruder.

Enjoy your nature.

Besides a rather wet and rainy day it didn’t dampen the show. Actually it made me want to see the thousands of orchids I remembered seeing at the New York International Orchid Show back in 2007. I was telling Jeanne all about it rather excitedly. Today though, I’ve come to realize it is no longer. What a disappointment since it was such a grand event. If anyone knows of similar shows for 2009 in the NYC area, please let me know where I can learn more – thanks.

Christopher called for lunch today. Enjoyed some Mexican food at Yola’s. Soon after it became three with Laura and we enjoyed some midday conversation. Great time to take a few shots.
