Two snow creatures... maybe bears... maybe Ewoks... seen on Court Street in Cobble Hill (Brooklyn, NYC) on February 24, 2026. Photo taken with the Ubuntu Touch camera app on my Google Pixel 3a XL.

Article:
I included these "snow bears" in an article covering snowmen I saw around Brooklyn Between February 24-28.

I saw a discarded dry Christmas Tree on a Williamsburg, Brooklyn (NYC) sidewalk. You may be wondering why I stopped to take a photo. Reason: The day was May 4, 2025.

I first saw a BLOB DYLAN tag in Bushwick, Brooklyn, in January 2021. That launched me on a journey toward becoming one of the internet's leading BLOB DYLAN scholars (or so I tell myself). Despite my research on the matter of BLOB, I never saw a BLOB DYLAN tag in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is one of his stomping grounds (or so I hear). However, that all changed on the afternoon of May 4, 2025. I present to you a BLOB DYLAN tag seen on Roebling Street.

(Note: There are a few other BLOB DYLAN photos in my Pixelfed collection if you scroll for them.)

Photograph of the cast iron fence around a tree pit in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is raining. On the top of the black fence rail we see a "BLOB DYLAN" tag written in white with a circle around the middle of the O in BLOB and a circle around the A in DYLAN. Next to it in blue we see HOMESI with either an e, s, or < at the end. There is trash in the tree pit.

Seen in a Brooklyn tree pit on August 11, 2024, what I believe to be a reishi mushroom. I wrote an article about it using a more closely-cropped version of the photo.

A simple bench. Seen in the Brooklyn NYC neighborhood of Red Hook. Not too much to add... I used it in a fictional dialogue about a trip to Ikea (I took the photo on a non-fictional walk to Ikea).

A simple bench made of three pieces of wood sits in a tree pit. Behind the bench, and almost directly centered, is a thin, straight tree trunk. A white car is parked next to the tree pit with the back wheel lined up with the tree trunk, but we can only see about 1/3 of the car.

But how much does it cost? I found and photographed this children's chalkboard/easel in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, on September 4, 2021.

Article inspired by the find: https://thenewleafjournal.com/justin-and-justina-you-take-one-end-ill-take-the-other-pink-chalkboard/

Someone left a children's chalkboard built into a plastic pink easel in a treepit in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn NYC, for the taking.  To underscore the point, whoever left it wrote "FREE!" on the chalkboard.
