Don't have a picture of it, but I saw a very small alligator crossing the road ahead of me a few weeks ago. The sound was interesting as it was fast and you can hear its nails sliding across the pavement. Thankfully it was small.
I found a smartphone, tools, straps and really a ton of other things. I am not a picture taker of such things. The phone almost hit me as it flew off a car. I did get it to the owner, who was an idiot and didn't even thank me. Odd people sometimes, but entitlement is the word of the decade in Pittsburgh.

I found a really nice coffee mug! Very well insulated, screw top, large capacity and a lock function

Contigos are good, we have a bunch. They fit in most bottle cages (and car cup holders too), and they don’t cost premium prices.

Today these were seen. I think they're warblers.
Given that they were seen ¼ mile from one another, I wondered if they were involved in a suicide pact.

edit: forgot to mention - this one is street sweeper resistant. i've seen it for months in the bike lane near the top of a climb on my route. finally thought, if i hit that during a night ride it could cause the front wheel to slide out from under me...

This was too perfect. Like the mouse hammock cartoon from a few months ago. I don’t think it was put there by a person, but who knows?
