Mamaroneck, NY Photographer's Note: When I discovered the newspaper ad for the "Hand of God" play, Psalm 139:7-8 and Romans 8:39 came to mind. Furthermore, when I was taking this photo with a zoom lens, a butterfly landed on my right sleeve and stayed there for several minutes before flying off. It also briefly -- only for a 2-3 seconds, landed on the top green spray can. I saw this butterfly last time when I finished taking photos of this setting and was satisfied with the angle used. Afterwards, it had left for good. It was kind of surprising for the butterfly to be there in the first place, considering the setting is in an industrial area where there are no flowers. Last, what looks like the earth is actually a small, soft child's ball that had been among the rubbish.

Orchard Beach, Bronx, NY Note: This garbage was photographed by mounds of melting snow that had been removed from Bronx streets and dumped in Orchard Beach's parking lot. Guess snow removal crews were plowing more than snow during the winter storms! Also, I tore off a section of a Simplehuman® box to add the word "human" to the photo since this appears to be our footprint and legacy. Ironically this nearby box was for a stainless steel trash receptacle! I also moved a piece of plastic insulator under the tan double squares to create an exasperated face.
