Atmosphere: Shift
Every day is a subtle shift —
Each morning, I am a different person.
What man will I be today?

Urban Life: Painted turtles
Painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, New York I spent 6 hours yesterday lying on a bench in Piedmont Park, overlooking Lake Clara Meer. The water was full of honking geese, but I was disappointed by the lack of turtles.
I thought about my visit to Prospect Park last July, when I spotted this log full of painted turtles catching flies. New York, how I miss you.

Urban Life: Common pigeon in Philly
Common pigeon (Columba livia). Center City, Philadelphia. It was a freezing day in Philly when I snapped this pic of a pigeon shivering on a fire hydrant — I believe it was on 15th Street in Center City, across from City Hall.
Snow was on the way, and the winter wind whipping between the buildings packed a nasty bite. I hope the bird is enjoying the warmer weather.
