Witch king of Angmar, one of the nine ringwraiths in The Lord of the Rings, doomed to be forever ruled through his acceptance of a ring of power subordinate to the  ruling One Ring of Sauron.

At left a pale ghoulish past white and pink face with stringy white hair and a tarnished metal crown.  At right a sword-brandishing heavily dark-cloaked figure with armored gloves and wearing a spiked war helmet and that obscures its face in shadow.

That is so much like poison oak in California. We really don’t have a lot of plants that produce red spectrum in fall. If it were not toxic to the touch, it would make an incredible landscape plant.

Two cartoon white mice. They both have round red noses. A tall skinny one has large blue eyes and a dopey expression a shorter one has an oversized forehead and red eyes and a scowl. These are the lead characters in the Animaniacs sub cartoon “pinky and the brain”, who are always trying to take over the world.

Relative would like to ID this fungus. Is it hazardous to humans or plants? Any particular safety procedures what needed to remove it? It is near a drip irrigation system. They’re concerned it’s going to clog the irrigation.

I live in an area with a very tumbled & fragmented geology that used to be sea bed pushed up against a plate boundary. The local native sandstone outcrops are low density & too brittle for step-stones. But I want to match the color & buy durable sandstone suitable for a garden path, to fit my area

As foretold by the Basketmaker culture of the SW US 2000 years ago
Some legless, triangular-bodied anthropomorphic rock art pecked into pale orange sandstone through the orange/brown desert varnish, with arms extended and bent, and “antennae” coming out of a line-thin head (likely braids), resembling the general form of the electrical pylon in the original post. This artistic style is attributed to the “basketmaker” culture of at least 2000 years ago which predates the invention/introduction of of pottery in the southwest.

Cartoon space aliens Kodos and Kang, from the Simpsons. Behind the aliens, the earth from space is seen on a video screen or window set in a bright pink wall above a bank of sci-fi spaceship controls. The two aliens most resemble large green octopi, except that what would be the body of an octopus is a head whose face has a single eye and a mouth with fangs. On each side of the head are large pointed ears. They are each wearing a space helmet like a clear bubble enclosing their entire head.  Below the helmet they are all tentacles. The alien on the left has one tentacle raised on each side, like a human raising their 
hands. Its mouth is pursed and it is looking off to the side, like someone reacting to surprising news and looking out to see if anyone else overheard it. The alien on the right is likewise looking to the side as if trying to avoid being heard, and its drooling mouth is open as if it is speaking.
The pair are known for asking such questions as why the strong humans don’t just eat the weak ones.

A still from Star Trek the Next Generation.  A humanoid cyborg alien, part of the Borg hive-mind, stands in front of a turbolift (elevator) door pointing what may be a weapon toward the rest of the room. Angle of view is from below as if the viewer is seated.  The Borg increase their numbers primarily by capturing other races and forcibly converting them to cyborgs, destroying their identity as individuals.  Catch-phases are “you will be assimilated” and “resistance is futile”.

Look up artistic composition & the “rule of thirds” Remember you are not photographing the thing you are photographing the light.
To the left rises the trunk of a mature and stately valley oak, with branches arcing to the right over a dirt road through mixed grassy foliage. Light filters onto the near road, which emerges into sunlight farther ahead. Scattered large oaks flank the road in the distance as it disappears into a sunny, oak studded meadow. The sky is mostly obscured by trees but is  over half fluffy white clouds with some deep blue.

SOCIAL MURDER
Is a term coined by Friedrich Engels in 1845 and used to describe murder committed by the political and social elite where they knowingly permit conditions to exist where the poorest and most vulnerable in society are deprived of the necessities of life and are placed in a position in which they cannot reasonably be expected to live and will inevitably meet an early and unnatural death.

These birds are known to kill people on occasion.

I took some pics. Also flicked about a dozen ticks off my pants. Might not ever try that trail again unless my health improves. People with disabilities can sometimes pull stunts like this on a good body day when they’re really motivated, but then we pay for it with days and days of recovery after.
