Stumbled onto an old style block party in Long Island City this past summer when I spotted these kids. The scene brought back a lot of good nostalgic memories of those carefree childhood days before iPads, smart-phones and video games.....
(In the NorthEast US a stoop is the stairway that leads up to the front entrance of a house or building)

I have to admit that I did something this afternoon that I said I would never do and that was to try and take photographs of birds in a display.
However when I saw them and appreciated the time the handlers must have spent training them I succumbed and had a few clicks with these results.
Have to admit not as satisfying as taking photos in the wild but then how often would I be likely to see these and then get the chance of a click.
Nit as fast as a peregrine but still very impressive in a stoop.
Lasswade feed a scrum during a 62-35 Hawthornden defeat by Falkirk in Scottish rugby union's National League Division Two. In a real points (if not tackling) fest, the hosts crossed five times to Falkirk's nine. All but two of the 14 tries were converted. This was bottom-of-the-table Lasswade's sixth consecutive league reverse after opening the 2018-19 season in promising fashion with a 19-7 National League Cup first round victory over divisional rivals Howe of Fife. The Midlothian men trailed 47-14 after 55 minutes before three tries in 11 minutes put them into contention. Falkirk, physically bigger, brought up the half-century with a 74th-minute penalty before emphasising their superiority by going over in the last minute then again during stoppage time. Falkirk climb to fourth.

Lasswade RFC's Hawthornden ground boasts some of the best facilities in Scottish club rugby union. The club moved to the Poltonhall site in 1974. Lasswade took a major step in 2003 by selling one of their three pitches to the local authority, which sought land for housing. Using the proceeds, the club swung the surviving two pitches through 90 degrees, levelled them and enlarged them to international size. Match-quality floodlights were provided, and a 350-seat stand - housing spacious dressing rooms and an air conditioned fitness centre - erected on the first XV pitch's east touchline. A sizeable car park was added, and the adjacent clubhouse impressively refurbished. The 'new' ground was opened officially in 2007. International teams visiting Scotland often use Hawthornden's facilities for training. It is far cry from 1921, when Lasswade RFC were formed. They played on a field west of Dobbies Road, Bonnyrigg, and initially changed in a Guide hut. An outside tap was used to fill a tub with cold water. Lasswade's HQ then became a pub, the Forresters' Arms (now the Laird and Dog). Hot water at last! During the Sixties, in particular, Lasswade improved steadily, on and off the field, before relocating to Hawthornden. At present, the club's first XV play in the third tier of Scottish rugby union, Tennent's National League Division Two.
Just as the sun was going down I saw a light come on just a short ways away. It was a welcoming light, shining softly down onto a dark green door and illuminating the numbers 123. I knew it! I knew this was my famous stoop of note! I ran and ran, up one, two, three steps. I caught my breath. This felt like a famous stoop of note underneath my road-weary stone. I would surely spend the night here, if not a few days, and experience all that Sesame Street has to offer.
