Many times along my walks I happen upon discarded items/litter thrown down upon the street, and often I will stop and look at them. Sometimes even photograph them, that is, if I feel there's a story there. There's definitely a story here..

I see this quite often along my walks to/from my office, though mostly with cinched filled baggies. The fine for public urination must be more than littering, though with the baggies and this cup, it should be a double penalty

--

In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.

I see such strange, weird things along my daily walks each weekday to/fro my place of employment.

There's NO Parking on Sidewalks

___

It's so out of control. And some are placing their neon construction vests on the dashboard as proof they can just randomly do as they please, and are seemingly getting away with it. These vehicles are never towed.

What if a disabled person needed to get past?

Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

Behind me had been a white paneled truck which the sunlight was bouncing off of and being reflected onto the sidewalk and lighting up this discarded red bag. It was really cool

The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

~` Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882), who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, minister, abolitionist, and poet who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and critical thinking, as well as a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society and conformity. Friedrich Nietzsche thought he was "the most gifted of the Americans," and Walt Whitman called Emerson his "master".
