Flamingoes in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo.
A project to take one photo a day for a year. And you can be a part of it, too!
No, there isn't an ATM in the stop sign ;)
It's advertising the fact that the restaurant in the strip mall has one available. As does the grocery store next door, the gas station down the street, the bank, etc....
This is the same tree that was covered in Christmas lights and snow on the 1st of December. Now, no lights, but it's covered in snow once again. The flash picked up some more snow that was still falling at the time.
Here's a quick way to melt the snow - just leave a washing machine discharge pipe on top of it. You'll have no problems clearing your path. Just make sure you have somewhere to drain the water, otherwise you'll have a bigger problem. ;)

This is what happens when you pick up the paper until the next day - it gets covered in snow. It used to be that the paper was reliably here around the same time the mail came. Now, if it comes before 5pm it's a good day.

Kind of a "Stuck in the middle with you" scenario here for the Cigar store. Then again, they don't need too much space for their wares, and since they don't have such a large roofline, the rent's probably cheaper.
Ahh, fresh strawberries. Well, not exactly; they're frozen ones from the store. Pretty good tasting, but a little soggy in eating.
Yay! Here's the box to my new flat panel monitor. Definitely the last time you'll see this box all together. ;)
Being unusually warm for January, these folks decided to let their pup pop his nose out the window for a sniff of the outside, at 50 mph
