When beating the heat, it's best to use a stick.
In for a landing
This snowy egret was keeping an eye (or two) on things the other day, as shown here and below:
Here's a bird of a different feather over in Avenue G - one of two black vulture siblings.
They left their attic nest at 123 North 5th earlier in the week.
Here's one last photo before they left the scene entirely.

That's a lot of sod.
All you need is love - or a rock that says it.

Here's a big fat dumpster across the street.
It's on borough property, but council OK'd the use.

But seriously, what the hell???!!!
What was to be an apartment building is now a jungle that can be seen, free of charge, along Bank Avenue.
You can even play the game of "Find the Cat"!
(Yes, he's in there.)
"The weeds are as high as an elephant's eye,
And it looks like they're climbin' right up to the sky!"
(Apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein.)
There's that cat again.
(Who knows what other critters lurk therein?)
What a "beautiful" sight for visitors to see.
That Saturday night rain came up quick.

Columbia Boro Management doing a WONDERFUL job keeping the WEEDS cut down, I can only wonder what their properties look like. Mayor do not fine the homeowners for high weeds if you cannot do your job and enforce the code. YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE PATHETIC.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that lot owned by some guys who want to build there? How do you know the owners have not been cited? What's your beef with the Mayor?
