I was visiting New York City on November 15th, and dropped in on Occupy Wall Street, having learned that NYPD forces had cleared demonstrators from the Zuccotti Park, beginning in the wee hours of the morning. I spotted retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis holding this sign and made a quick iPhone photo before dashing off to catch my train. A few days later, I saw photos online showing that Lewis been arrested and zip-tied, but read just now that Manhattan prosecutors will close his case if he avoids re-arrest for six months. ©2011 – All photos by Jim MacMillan: <a href=”mailto:jim@jimmacmillan.com” >jim@jimmacmillan.com</a> • Blog • Twitter • Facebook • Google+ • Linkedin • Skype • AOL IM • Mobile</a> 215.882.4765 • SMS</center></b>

I caught this sunset as my train pulled into the Swarthmore SEPTA station tonight.

I couldn’t resist stopping to photograph this bush against the snow near my office this morning. Swarthmore College shares the campus with the Scott Arboretum, and nearly every living thing seems to be labeled, but the placard for this one must have been buried under the blanket of snow. ©2012 Jim MacMillan
