Looking south over Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley at sunset tonight from my back veranda on our hillside patch… #PNW #Oregon #SouthernOregon #RogueValley

A tranquil landscape featuring rolling hills and trees, showcasing a sunset sky with shades of pink and orange. The foreground includes grassy areas with scattered foliage, while distant mountains create a picturesque backdrop.

Scientists in Hawaii have many cameras set up to watch these kinds of mountains that have lava flowing from them, even creating lava lakes. This camera is looking at Kīlauea, the youngest and most active of these landscape features on the island of Hawaiʻi.

A man gets gets shot by ICE in front of his 5 year old, and Fox persecuted #HarryStyles for caring.

On Fox & Friends, Earhardt accused Styles of 'glorifying
a person with a criminal record.' And while other moms
she knows are taking their kids to his concerts, she said
she doesn't want to subject her daughter to be
'subjected to that.'
By 'that' we're guessing Earhardt was referring to
Styles' empathy for a man who was nearly k*lled in
front of his child.

I just want us to take a moment to think
about Oscar Belgal tonight. It is up to us
to make the cities that we live in places
we want to see. It's up to us to make
the world a place that we want to see,
that we want to give to our children. So
please continue looking after each
other, and remember, your friends, the
people you love, the people who don't
look like you and aren't born where you
are from: they deserve respect, love,
dignity.

🍂 As Europe and the north slips quietly into shades of amber, rust, and encroaching dark, our world softens into bloom. Down here at the edge of Africa, the canopy catches fire in violet. 💜 #Johannesburg in October.

An elevated, panoramic view across Johannesburg's leafy suburbs at dusk, dominated by the sprawling, vibrant violet canopy of massive jacaranda trees in full bloom rising above red-tiled house roofs. In the distant background, the suburban expanse stretches toward high-rise buildings on the horizon under a soft sunset sky with pastel pink and gold clouds.

Looking up a steep, quiet suburban hill entirely blanketed in fallen violet jacaranda blossoms, resembling a vibrant purple carpet covering the road. Massive jacaranda trees line both sides of the street, forming an overhead tunnel of blooms, with a single pedestrian walking up the center distance beneath a glowing streetlamp.

A quiet residential street framed by a dense canopy of blooming purple jacaranda trees, their branches meeting overhead to form a natural archway. Two runners jog down the shaded road in the foreground, leading towards a glowing, stone triumphal arch illuminated by warm golden morning light at the far end of the avenue.

Red Shouldered hawks visiting the water container and having a bath.

Daytime trail cam photo of two red shouldered hawks (Buteo lineages). To the bottom mid right one hawk has landed on the corner edge of a black water container. Its wings are still up and it is looking just slightly to the left. To the mid upper left a second hawk is coming in for a landing. Its tail is fanned out and its wings are fully spread and curved slightly inward since it's putting on the brakes. The birds have red chests and black and white barred tail feathers. There is red along the tops of the wings. The surroundings are underneath a large oak (unseen but providing shade) with short dry brown grass and in the background a huge Coast Live oak and a fallen one.

Daytime trail cam photo of two red shouldered hawks (Buteo lineages) at the water contained. One of them is in the container with its back to the camera with wings spread low and in the water as it hunkers down to bathe. The other is perched on the far corner waiting its turn. Its wings are closed and its red chest is readily apparent. Surroundings are beneath a large oak (unseen but providing shade) with short dry brown grass and in the background a huge Coast Live oak and a fallen one.

Day time trail cam photo of a mature red fox (vulpes vulpes) at the left facing sideways one paw on the edge of a black water container. It is looking to the right but is obviously about to have a drink. Its ears are pointing straight up, bushy tail is down. It's head to mid shoulders is red fading to speckled gray. The surroundings are underneath a large oak with short brown grass. A huge oak is in the background and the fallen oak behind that.

FASTER THAN A FERRARI.
Travelling flat out at 71.5mph the Citroën 2CV will
easily overtake the Ferrari Mondial travelling at 65mph.

AS MANY WHEELS AS A ROLLS ROYCE.
The £255,240 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit. How many wheels? Four, The £2,581 Citroën 2CV. How many wheels? Exactly the same.

MORE ROOM THAN A PORSCHE.
With a possible 30cu ft, boot space there's no need for one of those plastic luggage racks on our little run-about.
