Many thanks to Jon for suggesting and coordinating this Mass Observation Project. It is in response to the project of the same name which took place in the United Kingdom in the 1930s and 40s to record everyday life. On the first Monday of each month Photoblog members will post a photo on a particular theme depicting life in their own country. A list of all of this month’s MOP photos can be found here.



A completely creepy "Only" for Ricky post is here.

That´s a good one, love the bike shot really GKorts · 2011-06-06: 15:00

Interesting and enlightening Marjorie. Your modes of transportation require muscle power only....... No trips to the gas station for you to be swindled out of your hard earned cash. Wonderful set of great photos too! Well Done! ArtBee · 2011-06-06: 15:31

MARJORIE Hi ... interesting and exciting project will try to follow the pictures ... but I think I will be very difficult at this time .. I have many things in your head that you might end up not remembering .... I really like series. A kiss for Cameron and Laci and one very big for you ... ????? · 2011-06-06: 15:40

Like your way of move. ;-) Ryana · 2011-06-06: 15:45

My Grandfather referred to walking as using 'Shanke's pony' - must Google that sometime and see if it was a common ref. to walking - must admit I could/should walk more - but what with bears, cougars……... poshrat · 2011-06-06: 16:07

Very clever combination of modes of transportation! lgnelson · 2011-06-06: 16:13

Great and interesting collection of transportation shots! Even the weeds have something to ride in :))) Cool MOP post, Marjorie! lookagain · 2011-06-06: 16:14

Great set for the mop. Your first shot has a lot in common with my post! :-) girafferacing · 2011-06-06: 16:36

FUNNY AND GREAT POST Marzijapan · 2011-06-06: 16:47

I like the Birks. My Grandpa used to say, "hoof it by shoeleather" meaning, get walking and I'll pick you up along the way, when he would meet us to go to the woods to work with him. The stroller looks very imposing from this angle, like it should be in a monster truck competition. Hmmm? That would be an interesting competition for the fair this weekend. stabeez · 2011-06-06: 16:49

I like your pictures and ideas. I can't guess what's on the 2nd one till I've read the description. gonia · 2011-06-06: 16:58

great selection of pictures, spot on mattmckenna · 2011-06-06: 18:10

Great presentation for the MOP Marjorie! I like your life style! Those sandals look really comfy!!! danrav · 2011-06-06: 20:44

A good way to get around... I'd like living somewhere where I could walk more often instead of having to get in a car to get anywhere. DancingDolphin · 2011-06-06: 20:50

Great set. Good to see some low-carbon travel taking place. Jarvo · 2011-06-06: 21:09

Truly excellent post Marjorie! Are those birks? liveandletlive · 2011-06-06: 21:15

I'm so happy for your garden. It almost looks great! All good ideas and creative as usual. Keryl · 2011-06-06: 21:58

Funny, nice post! honzicek · 2011-06-06: 22:23

I am impressed that you don't drive a car! You must live close to a lot of things. Great set! lukesmom · 2011-06-06: 23:01

Very interesting and nicely done for the MOP. I was considering using shoes too. smbunation · 2011-06-06: 23:40

Great set and #2 nice composition. anggrekfoto · 2011-06-07: 01:24

thanks for sharing.. this is neat.. I love the bicycle shot.. not having a car is also good especially if you guys have an okay mode of transpo also good for exercise! lyricalthoughts · 2011-06-07: 10:39

btw, good job on your garden! :):) lyricalthoughts · 2011-06-07: 10:40

excellent, I'm so embarrassed to be so dependent on the car; when children were little I mainly walked and carried them on backs and in buggies and I was pretty fit equivalence · 2011-06-07: 15:46

omigosh! (omigosh? LOL) this is interesting! a lot of things to play with to travel. in talking in travel, when will i see your niagara shots? LOL gosh..i swear if i was in canada, i'd make my mum go there with me..or better, i'd pick the car, friends, camera, and GO ALONG ALONE! :D onlyricky · 2011-06-07: 18:09
