Mendon Ponds Park is owned and very poorly maintained by the County of Monroe, NY.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary property is rapidly deteriorating due to an egregious lack of care. Trails are not cleared of debris... signs are useless. Park maintenance is essentially nonexistent. They do have a marketing department. Seriously, the taxpayers are paying the salaries of a county parks marketing department.

· After BARTing to Richmond and biking the bridge to Larkspur, I met up with Jon, Mike and Anna and we took our bikes on the ferry to San Francisco, then biked home on carfree Market Street.
We started riding together, along with hundreds of others in Critical Mass, on this same street, over 25 years ago. Much of the day's bike accommodations and infrastructure was lacking or nonexistent then, and it's taken advocacy, activism, and direct action to get them.
My original idea for this project came from the striking image of the face of a child who had experienced extreme hunger during a famine in Somalia. I wanted to capture the image of his face to convey the hopelessness of the situation of many vulnerable women and children around the world. To me, injustice against children is the most alarming, because by their nature they are so helpless and free from fault, but are too often the ones endangered. The fact that hunger is such a basic human need and such a nonexistent problem in most of the world makes the problem all the more shameful in my opinion. I tried to keep the painting simple, and keep the focal point on the baby’s face, with the addition of his emaciated mother to make the issue clearer. I really tried to transfer the exact facial expression and I was happy with my final result. I was also pretty satisfied with the simplicity of the rest of the work. I believe I achieved my purpose in clearly conveying my social justice issue.
Team 11 App, A fantasy sport is a sort of game, consistently played using the Internet, where individuals gather nonexistent or virtual gatherings made from middle people of authentic players of an ace game. These gatherings fight considering the quantifiable show of those players in authentic games.
MyMaster11 is considered as a “Ability based challenge.” The round of capacities can be portrayed as a game wherein the capacities of individuals participating in any web-based dream sports gaming, for instance, ipl dream affiliation and expect a transcendent part instead of the straightforward karma of individuals.
My 11 Online dream sports gaming is considered to be a real all around the planet with explicit states being an exception. Online dream sports gaming is totally established on Game of Skills, wherein the clients structure their own gatherings and are assigned spotlights in view of field execution of their picked players.
League 11 app is thoroughly real as it offers organizations, Fun Features, Programs and Contests associated with dream cricket (IPL fantasy league), dream football, dream kabaddi, dream volleyball, dream ball and dream hockey.
We spent New Year's Eve in Tel Aviv, where the weight of religion, so prevalent in Jerusalem, seems absolutely nonexistent.
Were it not for quite a few F-16 flying over the sea toward the Gaza Strip, we might actually have felt like in a different country altogether.

This is Olivia. She is an FBL custom Blythe with a black and deepest purple mohair root on a PVC CoolCat scalp. Her hair is actually to her wrists, but very humid here and it is going wild curly. She has 4 sets of handpainted eye chips and a purple and black silk gown. Her eyelids are deep purple and black, though they photograph black, at least in this light. Light is nonexistent today at our house, so will try to photograph better tomorrow. Light so low, focus is barely there.
Monotropa hypopitys, also known as Dutchman's Pipe, Yellow Bird's-nest or Pinesap, is a herbaceous perennial plant, formerly classified in the families Monotropaceae or Pyrolaceae, but now included within the subfamily Monotropoidiae of the blueberry family (Ericaceae). It is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, and is scarce or rare in many areas. However, it is still the most widespread member of the subfamily. While currently included in the genus Monotropa, recent genetic evidence strongly suggests that Monotropa hypopitys should be placed in its own genus, Hypopitys, with the single species Hypopitys monotropa Crantz, but possibly containing several other species.
Unlike most plants, it does not contain chlorophyll; it is a myco-heterotroph, getting its food through parasitism upon fungi rather than photosynthesis. These fungi form a mycorrhiza with nearby tree species.
Plants are fleshy and grow 10–35 cm tall. True stems are nonexistent. Instead, the only part which emerges from the soil are unbranched adventitious inflorescences which are developmentally similar to adventitious roots. All parts of the plant are pale yellowish white to reddish-tinged. The bracts are 5–10 mm long scale-like structures, which cover most of the inflorescence. Plants flower from April to December depending on the geographic region (June to September in North America). The flowers are pendulous when young, but become erect when they begin to mature into the fruit which is a capsule. The flowers are 9–12 mm long and produced in a cluster of 1–11 together at the apex of the inflorescence, which is a raceme. It flowers between early summer and mid autumn; plants that flower in summer are yellow and sparsely hairy, while those that flower in autumn are red and densely hairy. These two color "forms" overlap in flowering time. It has been suggested that yellow individuals are largely self-pollinating.
The species name is from Latinized Greek hypo-, "under", and pitys, "pine", referring to where pinesap often grows.However, Linnaeus misspelled it hypopithys. Many authorities have followed his spelling. On the other hand, it has been stated that the spelling "is generally treated as correctable to 'hypopitys'", as followed by other authorities. The variability of the species in colour, hariness, and in the number of flowers, has led to an extensive synonymy for the species. The entire list is over 80 synonyms; some of which include Hypopitys americana, H. fimbriata, H. insignata, H. lanuginosa, H. latisquama, H. monotropa, Monotropa chinensis, M. hypophegea, M. lanuginosa, M. latisquama, M. multiflora and M. taiwaniana.

During mating season, male topi antelope trick females with false alarms of nearby danger to boost chances for sex, a new study says. If a female starts wandering out of a male's territory, the male will begin snorting and staring, ears pricked, at nonexistent predators."The female will be walking away, and the male runs in front, looks not at the female but where she's going, makes this snort, and she typically stops.
this was one of those bright ideas that i have from time to time. we came off the bus in shrewsbury, and found that our guidebook map for the town was - either inadequate to find our hotel or totally nonexistent, i forget which. so, after a few seconds of standing here trying to memorize it, i just snapped a picture of the bus station map, intending to navigate off the camera display. ultimately this wasn't useful, not so much because the concept failed as because this was also a bad map. i chose to be quietly pleased by my own ingenuity anyway.
oh - turns out 'shrewsbury' isn't pronounced 'town of the rodents'. shrOWS-bree.

North Providence
The colonial-built Joseph Smith (or Smith-Gushing) House stands as the only surviving "stone-ender" in North Providence, which refers to the massive stone chimneystack at one end of the house that primarily makes up the entire wall. Joseph was the grandson of John Smith, who was selected in 1649 to serve as President of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Although the Smith home was built in 1705, the stone base of the chimney stack is much older, believed to have survived King Philip's War (1675-1676). The stone-ender style has ties to medieval home building common in southern Britain, noted for its huge chimney walls, timber framing, and plank-walled structures. Settlers to the U.S. brought this style with them to such places as Rhode Island. Joseph Smith re-used the surviving stone when he had the house built in the early part of the 18th century. The stone-ender was part of Smith's 190-acre farm.
The house also serves as reminder of the legacy left by the Smith family, beginning with John Smith, Joseph's grandfather (died 1663). In 1649, John was selected to serve as Rhode Island's president, a job he took again in 1652. Most notably, John oversaw the passing of legislation in 1652 that abolished slavery.
In 1762, the Smiths left the house, which allowed Judge Daniel Jenckes, Chief Justice of Providence, to purchase the farm at a public auction and subsequently give it to his son John, whose wealth afforded him the opportunity to double the size of the house and redecorate its interior.
The house has passed through numerous hands over the years, and the farm has slowly been sold in pieces; thus the farm has dwindled and is now ostensibly nonexistent.

The Flips supporting Meredosia, Bad Catman, Bookmobile, and Looming at Black Sheep Cafe in Springfield, IL on January 17, 2014.
Words cannot describe how good it felt to be shooting another show at Black Sheep after so long. It doesn't have the greatest lighting and the photo pit is nonexistent, but I just feel so at home there because that community of people is just incredible. They all support each other so much and it's amazing to be a part of that and to get to photograph it every so often. And then getting to be the guest photographer for Harm House's "Record of the Night" was absolutely awesome. Honestly, when I look back, I can't even begin to describe how thankful I am to the Black Sheep venue and community for everything they've done for me. This was my training ground when I was really getting started, and these are the people who took me in and accepted me without question and without reservation. That, and they put on some kick-ass shows =)
Driving up Ice House Road in the snow with a few wet spots. Fortunately we didn't slip on our little trip (other than when I stopped to quickly so we could get a good picture - fortunately traffic was almost nonexistent). Picture by Naomi.
Back in those pre-digital-camera days, where before you could see your pictures you had to fill up a roll of film, take it somewhere to be developed, and then pay some scarce $$$ when you picked your photos up a few days later, being unable to immediately upload timestamped photos to the nonexistent Internet I had to include objects like the three pens above in my puppy photos, to indicate how many days old the puppies were.

Stivan, a small settlement on Adriatic Sea island Cres in Kvarner bay, is an almost abandoned place. Incredibly stony ground, almost nonexistent arable soil, not close enough to the sea shore to be of interest for tourists, offers little to survive. Some old fig trees and olive trees and sheep, this is all one can rely on. But it is situated in a great landscape, in an open, rather flat (as the whole south part of the island) Mediterranean landscape, harsh, wind-swept and sunny, with mild spring and autumn climate and hot summers. Yet, 200 years ago men was capable not only to survive here but also to live full lives and to build large stony farmhouses like this one on my pictures. Now it is a ruin worth nothing, defeated by time and overtaken by Wulfen's Spurge (Euphorbia wulfeni).

I went down to Old Saybrook to try to get some pre-hurricane photos. Unfortunately, I did not plan my trip well: sky was gray, tide was low and waves were nonexistent. Oh well! This shot shows one invasive and two native wildflowers next to foggy South Cove.

The SS Chesapeake an Offshore Petroleum Discharge System tanker sits anchored on the Pacific coast at Camp Pendleton, Calif. during Joint Logistics Over The Shore 2008. The Chesapeake can pump fuel from the ocean to the shore where it links in with an Army Inland Petroleum Discharge System to provide a continuos energy for the vehicles on shore. JLOTS is an annual exercise that increases the Army's and Navy's ability to build improvised ports for transporting equipment from ship to shore when a harbor or pier has been damaged or is nonexistent. Nearly 1,500 pieces of rolling equipment and shipping containers will be moved from ships with a series of lighterage systems (floating roadways) and smaller boats to improvised piers on the shore.

A Japanese rock garden (枯山水, karesansui?), sometimes called a Zen garden, is an enclosed shallow sandpit containing sand, gravel, rocks, and occasionally grass and/or other natural elements. The main elements of karesansui are rocks and sand, with the sea symbolized not by water but by sand raked in patterns that suggest rippling water. Plants are much less important (and sometimes nonexistent) in many karesansui gardens. Karesansui gardens are often, but not always, meant to be viewed from a single, seated position. Some Westerners believe that karesansui gardens can be used to calm human minds, but they were not intended for such in their native Japanese settings.

I visited a relatively unknown area on Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan a few during mid-September. I came at sunrise to photography this small pool of water that collects in a nook off of the great lake. The water is often very still even with wind, but the wind this day was nonexistent, so the water looked more like glass, reflecting everything, I hope you enjoy!

The Harbortown Car Show has become the new Manitowoc County event happening on Labor Day weekend alongside Kites Over Lake Michigan in Two Rivers and many other events. This is the fourth annual car show and here’s what caught our attention.
1. ONE STRONG AUSTRIAN: A Steyr Puch Pinzgauer military vehicle appeared at the Harbortown Car Show…but however this is not the first time I have seen the Pinzgauer in Manitowoc…in 2020, I have seen a “civilian version” of the vehicle in 2020 and even the year before that. I wrote about the Pinzgauer and Steyr Puch back then and well….here’s some facts I just read on the sign on the window, there are several imported Pinzgauers in Wisconsin including the two vehicles that were included in the editions of “Tramwood”. Most British stored surplus Pinzgauers had been used as ambulances for the Russian/Ukraine war. In fact there was one unusual item in a vehicle which was a homemade cupholder.
2. FINE PRESENATION FOR ONE UNLOVED CHRYSLER CONVERTIBLE OF ALL TIME: “Unloved” is kind of a word that describes the Chrysler TC by Maserati. Despite the good looks…the car never seemed to gain the sales charts like say, the Chrysler LeBaron. I spotted a pristine late model car complete with a driver’s side airbag (Chrysler featured airbags in their vehicles in the 1990s that started with cars and minivans from 1987 to 1991 and then Jeep SUVs, Mitsubishi-based imports and Dodge trucks in 1994 to 1997) and I spotted a hat on the passenger seat of the car. What a nice display of a Chrysler that many people sometimes forget. (Although Maserati would now be under the same umbrella as Chrysler under Stellantis!)
3. SHUT ‘EM DOWN: A green Shelby Cobra wowed the public despite the fact the top was up. I’ve seen many Cobras at car shows even the replicas…of course I don’t recall seeing one with the top up. That has to be extra work to get the top up and down I’ve heard.
4. BUILT TO SERVE: I spotted this vintage fire fighter support vehicle at the car show and it was a classic Dodge Pickup. This vehicle was from the 1970s and Dodge didn’t use the “Ram” name until 1981. Ram became a standalone brand in 2010. This truck looks pretty sharp and looks like it’s ready to take on the toughest emergency.
5. “THAT’S A HUMMER?!”: Before the Hummer was used for hyper macho SUVs that spawned from the AM General HUMVEE. Harley Davidson produced a motorcycle called the Hummer from 1955 to 1958 that featured a single cylinder two stroke engine. I spotted this nicely restored motorcycle complete with advertisements of the bike.
6. WHEELS ON FIRE…ROLLIN’ DOWN THE ROOOOOOAD: That song I’m referring to is the song by Siouxie and The Banshees as I showcase this very wild paint job on a Harley I spotted at the Harbortown Car Show.
7. HARBORTOWN OR PROWLERTOWN?: This is not the first time that a Plymouth Prowler appeared at the Harbortown Car Show…and this red vehicle won’t be the last. The Prowler was the most memorable sports car sold alongside the Dodge Viper…but however it had been tarnished with a power plant from the Chrysler LH sedans rather than anything mightier from Chrysler’s power train arsenal and a trunk space that is hilariously nonexistent other than a manually operated top.
8. STRAIGHT FROM A DAVID LYNCH FILM: This Oldsmobile 88 had a pretty wicked looking interior that seem like it could be perfect for a David Lynch film or even a music video for Nine Inch Nails or any other gothic/industrial rock band.
9. HOT ROD CAMARO: As I was at the car show…we saw the vehicles roll into the car show…I spotted this nice looking third generation Camaro rolling into the car show. There was a black gold paint scheme, custom wheels and blacked out turn signals to make the vehicle look like Chevy’s audition to play the role as K.I.T.T from “Knight Rider”.
10. FROM KENTUCKY TO LEMANS TO WISCONSIN: The new version of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has become a massive hit for Chevrolet and it even snagged the 2023 “Motor Trend” Performance Car of the Year award. But however the Z06 was eclipsed by the new high-tech Corvette eRay…an All Wheel Drive hybrid-powered vehicle which is a first glimpse of the Corvette’s electric future.
11. MAKE IT HAPPEN NEXT YEAR: I spotted two vehicles parked at the Fox Communities Credit Union parking lot which is the custom version of the Jeep Gladiator and Porsche Boxster. Didn’t look like they were going to be at the show…possibly they might find their way to next year’s car show.
12. “YOU GUYS HAVING YOUR OWN CAR SHOW?!: Oh…I spotted this at the same parking lot…car enthusiasts with their Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes and BMWs gathering around the parking lot like they are creating their own car show!
The Roman Bridge crosses the old course of the Jarama River This 148-meter-long civil construction, composed of five arches (four small and one large) nestled among poplars and other deciduous trees that lend it an evocative image each autumn, is called a Roman bridge. But only the foundations and some studies of the ashlar blocks remain from Roman times because, in reality, it dates from the Middle Ages with sign Roman Bridge, Talamanca del Jarama, Comunidad de Madrid, Spainificant additions during the 16th century that gave it its current appearance.
Visitors who arrive at this point always ask themselves the same question: But where is the Jarama River? Is this thin trickle of water? It is indeed surprising to find such a large bridge supporting an almost nonexistent flow of water. But the answer lies in the fact that, as has happened so many times throughout history, the riverbed was displaced for various reasns, in this case by almost half a kilometer. Therefore, the Jarama River should be sought further west because what flows there (when it does) is a meager irrigation canal, the Caz stream, which carries less water than a canteen with holes in it.
Nearby, there is a recreational area, right next to the actual Jarama, known as "La Chopera" (The Poplar Grove), where families come "with their picnic blankets and Tupperware" to spend the morning or afternoon in the shade and sit down to eat at one of the tables while the children play
Lensbaby boredom @ work in the bathroom mirror. I was about to leave for the day, and went to the restroom. Figured I'd take a pic or four. Using a Lensbaby without the viewfinder is serious trial and error, since the lens tilts for selective focus, and the depth of field is almost nonexistent.

Behold: I finally have a garden again! The garden in 2010 was okay - got enough tomatoes and basil to keep me happy, but not much else. The garden in 2011 was nonexistent, except for strawberries: there were NO sunny days until the 2nd week of August that year (not exaggerating). This year, the weather has been perfect since July 1, and I have the best garden I've had in Oregon. Strawberries have done particularly well this year - Stefan has been very happy as a result. Note: all of the tomato plants on the left side of the photo showed up in pots with other plants this year - they were from seeds planted LAST year that never produced!
I admit: I garden on the cheap. The raised beds were made by Stefan from discarded wood he salvaged from work, more than half of the containers are things I've found discarded here and there while walking Albi in the mornings, and the topsy turvey planters are from 2010 (but they are definitely on their last leg - they are NOT meant to survive more than one season).
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Del Martin, one of the pioneers of the modern Gay and Lesbian Civil Rights Movement, passed away today at the age of 87.
She ws surrounded by friends, family, and leaves a legacy of unity and peace and greater freedom and safety for the LGBT community and world.
I had the pleasure of speaking to both Del and Phyllis, and had the opportunity to thank them for the simple courage of being. By the simplest act of being an out and proud partner in one of the longest lasting same-sex unions in our nation and at a time when our rights were nonexistent, they were able to enable all of us to be safer, and express our sexuality with less fear of ostracism, loss of livelihood, and even loss of our lives.
I encourage you all to take a moment to remember this woman. Without her, and others who have gone forth ahead, the rights of individual citizens would have taken longer to arrive. It took nearly a lifetime, but I am so gratified that at the time of her passing, she was unified with her partner.

A Photo A Day For A Year
Day 05
I'm not exactly happy with this photo, but it's the best I could do on a night when inspiration was just nonexistent for me. This was a thirty second exposure in the large cornfield that is my back yard. Normally, I'd have stayed out longer to achieve a better shot, but to be honest, I'm just drained and it was so ridiculously cold outside.

Another from Memorial Day weekend.
I had planned on going out Friday night to do some night photography and took a nice long nap when I got home from work so I'd be fresh. When I woke up I found that it was raining so it was a bust. Last night it was supposed to rain but when I looked out at 9pm it was clear so I grabbed my stuff and headed to Mt. Evans. At 14,240 feet I figured I was sure to get some nice star shots. What I didn't count on was the smoke from the Arizona fire. It put a haze in the sky that really dimmed the stars. And the wind up there was clocking at about a steady 40 mph with stronger gusts. And the moon was way too bright. Soooo, I just kept the camera in the car and bundled up and explored the top of the mountain. The nice thing about going up there in the middle of the night is that I had the place to myself. I felt like I was on top of the world, and with the near full moon I could see quite well. Denver doesn't look very big from up there. There were also thunderstorms off to the east that were keeping me entertained.
If you have even the slightest fear of heights, I don't recommend going up there. I had a near constant sense of vertigo. The road has no guard rails and some of the drops are really far down. There were moths up above 12,000 feet that were swarming. I've never seen anything like it. Hundreds of thousands of them. Weird. And I also saw a rabbit at 14,000 feet. What the hell he was doing up there I don't know. WAY above the tree line and vegetation is basically nonexistent at that altitude. Maybe he was eating moths!
Purple bridge - bright lights. Suddenly, Szymborska:
"So these are the Himalayas.
Mountains racing to the moon.
The moment of their start recorded
on the startling, ripped canvas of the sky.
Holes punched in a desert of clouds.
Thrust into nothing.
Echo—a white mute.
Quiet."
