Two snow creatures... maybe bears... maybe Ewoks... seen on Court Street in Cobble Hill (Brooklyn, NYC) on February 24, 2026. Photo taken with the Ubuntu Touch camera app on my Google Pixel 3a XL.

Article:
I included these "snow bears" in an article covering snowmen I saw around Brooklyn Between February 24-28.

I saw a discarded dry Christmas Tree on a Williamsburg, Brooklyn (NYC) sidewalk. You may be wondering why I stopped to take a photo. Reason: The day was May 4, 2025.

I first saw a BLOB DYLAN tag in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in January 2021. That launched me on a journey toward becoming one of the internet's leading BLOB DYLAN scholars (or so I tell myself). Despite my research on the matter of BLOB, I never saw a BLOB DYLAN tag in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is one of his stomping grounds (or so I hear). However, that all changed on the afternoon of May 4, 2025. I present to you a BLOB DYLAN tag seen on Roebling Street.

(Note: There are a few other BLOB DYLAN photos in my Pixelfed collection if you scroll for them.)

Seen in a Brooklyn tree pit on August 11, 2024, what I believe to be a reishi mushroom. I wrote an article about it using a more closely-cropped version of the photo.

A simple bench. Seen in the Brooklyn NYC neighborhood of Red Hook. Not too much to add... I used it in a fictional dialogue about a trip to Ikea (I took the photo on a non-fictional walk to Ikea).
