In a world defined by responsibility, seriousness, and relentless hurry, a glowing neon sign whispers a simple yet powerful message: “Never Grow Up.” These three words, captured in the fleeting atmosphere of a bustling café, carry a meaning that extends far beyond their apparent simplicity.
The concept of never growing up is often associated with preserving a childlike innocence and maintaining an everlasting curiosity. It is a call to retain the ability to see the wonder in the mundane, to delight in the small things, and to explore the world with open eyes. In childhood, every moment is filled with possibilities, and every minor adventure can be the greatest.
Yet, “Never Grow Up” is more than just a sentimental recollection of the past. It also serves as a critical reflection on society, which often demands that we relinquish our youthful dreams and fantasies to fit into the role of ‘adult.’ This role is filled with obligations, serious decisions, and often a heavy dose of reality that can weigh us down.
Growing up in New Jersey in the 1990s, some of my earliest railroad memories are of New Jersey Transit F40s lugging trains back and forth on the Raritan Valley Line. Newer power has displaced the vast majority of these units, but recent shortages in cab cars have brought some of them back in cab car service. Here, NJT 4120 leads an inbound RVL train into the line's namesake station.
I grow most of my herbs on flower pots and troughs, not right on the garden soil. As I move pots around depending on the occasion or just to cover an eye-sore spot. Also, I have a cat and a dog, and neighbors cats visit my garden too. Although, I haven't seen one poop, but that thought alone makes me off using herbs grown from the ground. I have seen a neighbor's Tomcat ( this was many years ago) spraying happily on my flowers and on my backdoor. Lovely sight :-(That picture still in memory and does affect my herb gardening.
Though this was taken 2014 yet, these herbs kept coming every year and had this flower pot their home, except the coriander, that I put every year.
The Tree Mansion
Here is the link to the video!!
Today we explore the upstairs area of the abandoned Tree Mansion, it is far more colourful than the ground floor with pink, yellow, purple and blue rooms throughout the floor. Also it gives you a better vantage point of the large tree that sits right in the middle of the home underneath a large skylight!!
Well known and loved throughout the exploring community, this abandoned $4,000,000 mansion has been sitting for several years decaying away awaiting it's eventual demise. There is extensive water damage throughout the home and the mold has pretty much taken over this abandoned home. What would have been a beautiful house when it was occupied with marble and wood floors, a very large and spacious white kitchen, a rec room in the basement and a huge 20 foot plus tree growing right in the centre of the home!! The home was built in 1983 and was sold a number of years ago and as sat unoccupied every since!!
Join me as we explore inside this unique 80s abandoned mansion!!
What do you think, if you had the money would you like to have a 20 foot tree inside your home?

Some people do not grow old they just get rusty.
A series of four sculptures by Hannah Kidd called Avonside Drive. Avonside Drive is alongside the Avon River, but was declared unsuitable for housing after the Christchurch earthquakes and so now it is 80% unpopulated.
Methven based sculptor Hannah Kidd predominantly crafts and welds sculptural creations from steel rod and corrugated iron as a means to investigate people and the relationships they have with their surrounding environment. Hannah Kidd graduated in 2001 from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in sculpture.
She has quickly risen to critical acclaim and her distinctive and unique work has been exhibited around the world, including I'm sure I've seen that before in Vienna, Austria (2002); Sculpture by the Sea, Australia (2007, 2009, 2011), and Sculpture by the Sea, Denmark (2009, 2011), along with numerous group and solo exhibitions throughout New Zealand.

The night view of this town is really great. The balance of this housing complexes and high-rise buildings thinks that exquisite. By time to visit this town on the next time, I want to make many friends living in the high-rise house.

この街の夜景は最高に素晴らしい。 この団地と高層ビルのバランスが絶妙だと思います。 次回この街を訪れる時までには、高層住宅に住む友達を作りたいと思います。

I didn't see Kanga for two weeks, but boy did she grow! She needs to put on weight to survive the cold days, but it's still amazing how fast it goes (Squirrels-2020-8704.jpg)
