| a Hallowe'en visit to the vet, unfortunately for the cat (not pictured) | 
| beautiful chickens on Franklin Ave. | 
| the recipe, the seasoning | 
| a visit to the SECOND vet, since the first one, who is long on decorations was short on effective cat care | 
| and the cat in question | 
| an ordinary day - trash day! | 
| the flowers - imprisoned, or protected? | 
| autumn leaves, with and without glasses | 
| the trashiest scene on this block of Clifton St. I hate passing this every day | 
| on the way to the subway, and subway stories, below | 
| many exciting treatments on offer at the Dominican hair salon | 
| a quick trip t the mid-Manhattan library reveals strong shadows on an unseasonably warm day | 
| well, what to say? i hate christmas shopping. i hate these little kiosks selling useless junk. | 
| but i like musing on these lines of steel and glass | 
| balloons, last night, up the block | 
| and this morning, i took a walk | 
| the 77th Precinct, an ugly building at the end of a beautiful park walkway | 
| an accidental shot - perhaps this is how i was really feeling this morning | 
| the Von King Cultural Arts Center, known chiefly for the strong odor of urine that surrounds the building | 
| summer games, a reminder that summer is over and the children that had fun here will be that much older when summer returns in 2013 | 
| the watchers | 
| an idea for what the block should look like - just add white people | 
| and what it actually does look like | 
| a sweet old house that could use some TLC | 
| the new deli on the corner. i love these guys. | 
| The Lovely Hill Baptist Church, Throop Ave. betw Lafayette and Van Buren | 
| The Christian Community Baptist Church Inc at the corner of Van Buren and Throop | 
| Quentzel - the plumbing supply store between the two Baptist churches, with beautiful old fittings |
