Queens’ Unisphere on a sunny day with a blue sky and white soft clouds. People sit along its reflecting pool enjoying the summer day.

A sneezing Northern Mockingbird.

A small songbird stands perched on the edge of a light-gray stone surface, captured in bright sunlight. The bird’s body is mostly soft gray on top and pale cream underneath, with a long narrow tail that angles downward behind it. Its wings show distinct, bold white patches against darker feathers.

The bird’s beak is open wide mid-sneeze, showing the bright orange interior of its mouth. Its posture is energetic—leaning slightly forward with its tail lifted and some of the feathers on its back fluffed up from the wind. The legs are thin and dark, gripping the stone firmly.

Behind the bird, the background is completely blurred into smooth brownish shades, making the bird appear crisp and isolated in the frame. The overall impression is of a small, lively bird caught in the act of calling out or singing.

A very plump looking Dark-eyed Junco along the trail.

A small songbird sits perched on a brown branch, seen in clear detail and taking up most of the frame. The bird has a smooth, rounded body with soft, fluffy feathers. Its head, back, and upper chest are a deep charcoal-gray, while its lower belly is snowy white, giving it a very clean, sharply divided two-tone appearance. The beak is pale pink and short, shaped like a tiny wedge, and its dark, shiny eye reflects the light, making the bird look alert and gentle. Its wings are tucked neatly along its sides, showing subtle streaks of gray and muted brown. The background is softly blurred in warm tan and gold tones, making the bird and branch stand out clearly and giving the image a calm, quiet feeling.

It is certainly not the intention here, but having hands coming up out of the ground in a cemetery in front of a headstone is a bit creepy.

The photo shows a small decorative sculpture placed on the ground among dry brown autumn leaves. At the center is a weathered, off-white cup or vase made of stone or resin. It’s stained with age, giving it a rough, mottled texture. Around the rim is an ornate carved pattern of swirls.

On the front of the cup, dark engraved letters read: “In God’s hands.”

At the base of the cup, a pair of sculpted hands—also made of the same worn, pale material—appear to rise from the ground and gently cradle it. The hands look soft in their shape but are chipped and dirt-stained, as if they’ve been outdoors a long time. Fallen leaves and bits of soil gather around the fingers.

Behind the cup is a gray stone background that suggests this might be part of a memorial or gravesite. The overall mood is quiet and solemn, with the object looking lovingly placed but aged by time and the outdoors.

City Council Approves Plan That Could Bring 14,700 Homes to Queens

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/nyregion/new-york-city-queens-rezoning.html

The proximity of Long Island City to Manhattan and the area’s access to several subway lines have made it an appealing location for developers.

I'm a co-lead at Jackson Heights Indivisible, where one of our programs is part of a citywide effort helping small businesses and workers understand their rights if ICE shows up.

The campaign now includes 14+ groups, reaching over 1,200 businesses, including over 100 in Jackson Heights!

Every $150 keeps this work going for another day.

Where Mamdani Found the Blueprints to Run for Mayor

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/nyregion/zohran-mamdani-howeowners.html

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s appeals to renters during his mayoral campaign are well-known, but he also spent time working for a nonprofit that helps homeowners.

Anyone else in Queens confused by all the ballot questions + judge races this year? 😅

We’re doing a one-hour Ballot Breakdown to explain it all.

The photo shows a bird standing on the forest floor among dry leaves and small green plants. It has a bright reddish-brown back, wings, and crest of feathers on its head, which give it a slightly spiky look. Its chest and belly are white, heavily marked with bold dark spots. The bird has a large, dark eye and a slender beak, giving it an alert expression. The background is softly blurred, filled with earthy browns and greens, keeping the focus on the bird.

A small bird is standing in a patch of grass on the ground. Its body is angled sideways, showing a grayish back and wings with a long tail, while its underside glows bright yellow in the sunlight. The bird’s head is also gray, with a yellow face and throat that catch the light. Around it, green blades of grass, leaves, and bits of dry twigs scatter across the forest floor. Sunlight filters through, highlighting the bird and some nearby plants against the darker background.

2019 photo of street art on a building in Queens, NY by Shiro (lower level wraparound), ELLE (upper left), and Garrison Buxton (upper right) — all part of the Welling Court Mural Project, a community beautification initiative. (Buxton’s art also extends past left frame and features rainbow-colored stripes for Pride.) Find out more about the artists on their Instagram accounts: @shiro_one, @ellestreetart, and @thegarrisonbuxton.

Image description: A building exterior covered in street art, with the corner at the center of the photo and two walls receding towards left and right. On the first floor, wrapping around the corner to both sides, is a purple-skinned female figure with exaggerated cherubic features and makeup. Her open palms are spread toward the viewer. Hovering between them, like an offering, is a spray can with white feathered wings, labeled with the text LOVE IS ALL (with “is” in white letters inside a red heart). To her left is the artist’s tag SHIRO in giant stylized letters; to her right is the giant word YES! Both words are done in a variety of vibrant colors. Additional artwork is visible on the walls as they recede. On the second floor at left is a circular image of abstract shapes and colors, partially hidden by a commercial sign. At upper right is a grid of diamonds in rainbow colors, partly obscured by a sign for ARTAMUS RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES.

They put a big sculpture in my neighborhood in case any of us forget where we are. I've found a hidden inspirational message in it. 🏳️‍🌈🌐

Photo of a big sculpture in a park: large person-sized letters spelling out "Queens" atop a pedestal on which is written "The World's Borough."

Selfie of the Undersigned standing in front of the sculpture, at a pose and angle at which his head blocks the right side of the "n" and the "s" in "Queens," and his extended hand blocks the "s" and "Borough" in "The World's Borough." This leads to the sculpture apparently forming the words "Queer The World."

The photo captures a dramatic moment of a small bird mid-flight with its wings fully extended upward. Its feathers are boldly patterned in contrasting light and dark streaks, giving it a striking appearance. The bird’s beak is open, and its eyes are focused intently on a tiny insect just inches ahead of it in the air—frozen in time as if it’s about to be caught. Its feet are curled and lifted slightly, suggesting it has just launched from a nearby branch, which arcs diagonally across the right side of the image. The background is softly blurred with shades of green and yellow, hinting at a leafy woodland setting. The entire scene conveys precision, motion, and a touch of wild intensity.

A Palm Warbler questioning my sanity.

This is a photo of a small bird perched on a branch. The bird has bright yellow feathers covering its chest and underside, with darker brownish markings on its face and upper body. Its wings and back are streaked with brown, and it has a reddish-brown cap on top of its head. The bird appears to be looking directly at the camera, with its head slightly tilted to one side, giving it a curious or inquisitive expression. The background is softly blurred, filled with dry, pale leaves scattered on the ground, making the vibrant yellow of the bird stand out even more. The lighting is natural and highlights the bird's colorful plumage beautifully.

One of the regular Red-tailed Hawks from the cemetery down the street. I am almost guaranteed to see a raptor of some sort when going there, and I am there almost daily.
