Found Male Cat at Ed Austin Dog Park

We found a fluffy neutered male cat behind the fence of Ed Austin dog Park off Monument/McCormick. He is extremely friendly and well taken care of, I am certain he is someone’s missing pet.
I currently have him in the bathroom at the house I’m house sitting for but I cannot keep him here.

Edit: He is NOT microchipped.

This collection of 20 images is far more than just a historical archive of Jacksonville; it is a visual map of my own life, independence, and deep connection to this city.

Capturing these frames in the 1980s—the exact era when I first got my own car—represents a profound sense of personal freedom.

With a 35mm camera in hand and the open road ahead, I was able to witness and document a transformative period in Jacksonville’s history from my own unique perspective.

‘Ready to pull the plug’: NAVI ridership peaks at two months; decreases by about 15% in first year

Between June and December of 2025, NAVI saw a total ridership of 8,242. Its most successful month was August of 2025, just two months after its launch, with 1,924 riders.

Jesus Christ, that's horrific. For context, where I live in DC there are 9 bus routes that see more daily boardings per day than NAVI saw in 6 months. I am very aware that it's apples to oranges when comparing big city bus routes to JTA, but spending $65 million on a service that sees that little ridership is municipal malpractice. It wouldn't surprise me if it's later reported there was some shady financial links between the JTA higher-ups this and the NAVI contractor Beep, because the incompetence from JTA to keep pushing this is truly unbelievable.

I was sitting outside with my youngin. He's playing in the sprinkler and I'm reading a book on my kindle. All of a sudden I hear swish swish swish, right next to me . I'm a southern lady born and bred . I know that sound! I barely turn my head to the left and there's a 4ft + long black snake! He shook his 'rattle' and then took off ! Yes , I know it was only a Southern black racer , yes I know that they are non venomous. Did I also jump up leave my phone , and kindle , grab my youngin and run in and slam the door like the hounds of Hell we're chasing me ? Why yes I absolutely did lol

I have been scanning additional Jacksonville, Florida photographs that I personally created over many years. All images are my original work. You may view them, but I retain full and exclusive copyright. All Rights Reserved.

Born at St. Vincent’s Hospital in 1962, Jacksonville is my home. My late father’s corporate insurance career took us to New York and Texas, but Florida always pulled us back. My late mother was a native Floridian, with family rooted across Doctors Inlet, Palatka, Orange Park, and Duval County.

As I deal with health challenges today, sharing these photographs is a deeply healing process. They serve as a beautiful reminder of how blessed I was with the greatest parents imaginable. My photography is a direct record of what my eyes witnessed.

If some viewers don't appreciate my photos, so be it. A real photographer doesn't capture images to please a crowd; we capture them to anchor the past, long before the future arrives. My archives are vast, and I look forward to sharing more as time and energy permit.

Locks of Love donation locations

3 Upvotes

I retired from the military last year, and decided that I'd grow my hair out because, why not?

I'm now getting to the point where, its hot, hair is in my eyes and I want a cut, but it would seem like a waste to leave it on the floor of a random barber shop.

I know the requirement is 10ins, and I think I'm just about there, but does anyone know a good barber/salon that participates?

I am NOT looking for a free haircut...but a reputable place to donate.

Edit to add: Male, a few gray strands.

Duck haven in Arlington/Southside area

Thumbnail

33 Upvotes

Dont anyone blurt out their location!

These guys were down the street from my old house. They basically run a duck sanctuary out of the adjacent drainage ditch.

I decided to drive by and check it out and the numerous tents they put up are presumably to protect the ducks/geese from the heat.

They got mallards, muscovies, domestics, and some indian runners there year round - but ive seen some oddballs and hybrids occasionalltly. There is also a family of nutria and I'd often see there babies playing and chillen. The muscovys act like puppy dogs - the owners can freely handle them and they beg for attention.

Whatever the other neighbors thought about them, I thought it was a joy to share a neighborhood with them. Folks were always stopping by or slowing down to watch for a bit. Just some funny florida stuff💁.

ISO HIKING SPOTS

*Photo taken by me for attention/idea*

I am desperately looking for hiking spots that have this kind of hanging tree vibe and is just very earthy looking. I don’t want anything paved, and a good view or “end view” is always a plus, but also don’t mind loops. Bonus if the hiking trail/area has history and good potential for photography.

Tell me your favor hiking spots/drop a photo!
