I have no idea what these things are called! They’re too small for cattails, they’re too heady for grass, but they’re all over the place in the summer! And they make a pretty photo. That’s what REALLY matters.

I took this yesterday! That’s a lie, it’s totally January in New Jersey. But remember when…?

The lake at Thompson Park. It’s kinda pretty, innit?

This is for all you fungus-lovers out there. 
Well, the different sizes and shapes and textures of fungi never cease to fascinate ME. Surely you feel the same way.

I apologize for posting this so late. I had an early class, which went to noon, except I stayed late and before I knew it I wasn’t home until 4:30 and the dog needed to go out and the garden needed watering and this all took twice as long as usual because IT’S SO RIDICULOUSLY HOT and shows no signs of letting up but anyway HERE IS A NICE COOL PHOTO of Thompson Park.
Thuh end.

Awwwwwww.
The place where I took this photo was a fairly high-traffic area of Brookdale Community College, so I had to think twice about contorting myself into the compromising position necessary to take this photo. However, about 15 feet away from me was a woman standing, staring at the ground, and talking loudly and clearly to herself (MAYYYYBE she had a hands-free headset or something… but she wasn’t using her hands! they just hung at her sides). I decided that her situation was more embarrassing than mine, and if SHE was willing to look like such a looney in the middle of campus, then I shouldn’t have any problem with it! So I knelt down to take the picture without another thought.

I was skating through Thompson Park, and I decided, for a change, to take a right turn instead of a left.
In addition to taking me right across the main entrance of Brookdale Community College (which… well… it’s not exactly a low-traffic area), the path took me right by Lincroft Elementary School (whose basketball court is seen above). This normally wouldn’t be a problem, except that some third-graders happened to be having a gym class about 15 feet away from the path. And here I am, being my usual creepy (and sweaty from skating) self–with a camera strapped to my back.
The kids just seemed kind of curious. The gym teacher was looking at me funny, and the kids were corralled back indoors within 5 minutes.
Who builds a fricking bike path right across school grounds?!

Despite catchy signs encouraging people not to litter, people still leave trash (like this abandoned water bottle) all over the place. In all fairness, though, this bottle was sitting on a bench in a tennis court, so it’s more likely that the owner just set it down and forgot to pick it up.
