Nice challenge Keith. I live less than 10M from my village harbour wall.

This guy decided to shoot up in his car right in front of my house. A neighbor called police. The officer behind the tree is our Resident Beat Officer, who lives a few blocks south on the same street.

This is an American toad a neighbor dug up while turning over his compost pile. Luckily it survived. I had no idea they lived in town. The forest preserves a few miles away are full of them. I've edited the species name as it's been changed from Bufo americanus to Anaxyrus americanus.

At our last house, a VW Golf made an unexpected visit to my next door neighbour

Same house, the Shakespeare marathon came past our driveway. Here are the stragglers who'd given up on the running part.

Few years back, I lived opposite this footbridge.

Is that what you guys call a "Jumble sale"? I can see why...

Is that what you call a "Rummage sale"?

Yes, I believe "rummage sale" is usually in a church and we also have "garage sale" and "yard sale" at homes. In NYC it might be a "stoop sale". Then the "swap meets" are a community thing.

We have most of those here but not "Stoop sales".

At my next door neighbour, this was my first photograph sold on Alamy:

After a cyclone in the street just up the corner from me:

All this is from Darwin, Australia.

Have a good day.

 

Sorry, forget the first one, it was indoor, so here comes a third outdoor, my neighbour's cat who like to sleep on the roof of my car and is not too happy that I have to go to work in the morning:

A couple of my images of the corner of Waverly Place and Waverly Place have sold. One of our Greenwich Village street oddities...

Just to prove that anything can sell:
My local bus stop. I grabbed this shot quickly with the NEX6 on my way out for a walk because I liked the arrangement of lines and colours. I only uploaded to Alamy to make up the numbers and never expected it to sell, but it did fairly quickly, for a commercial presentation.

Rushbearing parade passing the end of my street. The bus stop in the previous picture is just out of shot to the left.

Thank you Paulette.

I do tend to like cats too.

And that one is a good one, but he just likes to sleep on my car out of all the one in the parking...
