@Miraz Thank you. The colors in that grove are lovely.

@annahavron Hah, I didn't get the wording right, but it's hard to miss, isn't it?

@tinyroofnail Random thoughts triggered:
"It breaks the enchantment, makes visible the invisible." I had a girlfriend long ago who voiced sadness at the growth of science, feeling that it removed mystery from life. Scientists disagree, but I feel there is an important point embedded there, relevant today, that it can be tiresome if some body of people you don't like always claim to have all the answers.
"it became necessary, in a sense, to choose. Once knowledge as a part of its object has been separated from knowledge apart from it, it is impossible to reintegrate them, " Some of the most difficult decisions I've faced in life have stemmed from the recognition that I could never go back to something I was, at the time, very attached to. This is also part of what I found difficult about research, that moving in new directions left comforting thoughts and community behind.
I've recently been accepting solitude without loneliness. It seems like a paradox, but living it doesn't.

@maique Nothin' wrong with your selection, they are terrific. And, when overwhelmed with good choices, shooting from the hip and moving on relieves the pressure for finding the perfect solution. Come back to this set at the end of the year.

@tinyroofnail Fascinating. Next time I'm there, I'm going to take more time to study and photograph, because there are grids of cracked granite, and so a bunch of trees like this.
-
@Miraz I saw eyebrows.
-
@odd Nobody else got it either. It's an eggplant roasted on a grill.
-
@odd Vegetable...
-
@odd Good guess. Something glossy, dark, and baked.
-
@odd Close-up, yes. Crumpled, yes. Tin foil, no.
Same room in the house you'd find tin foil, though.
-
@odd Bump. Thought you might like a crack at this one.

@rscottjones @manton @amerpie Very nice. I will add that I heard that Florida is seeing a tremendous reduction in pickups decorated for Trump and a surprising number decked out for Harris/Walz. Alas, I cannot remember the source at the moment.
-
@Miraz Thank you, it was a spectacular afternoon.
-
@maique Outstanding.

@cheesemaker I have a friend who taught mathematics and published in Field Theory. Over the years, he dealt with fields of increasingly high degree. When he got to degree 7, known as septic fields, he too started getting interesting emails.
-
@jean Lovely.
-
@jean It does kind of look like a cupcake, doesn't it.

@Annie I justified YouTube premium by canceling my spotify and switching to music.youtube.com, which is a wash for my personal subscription. YouTube ads are worth getting rid of for me, and I am really enjoying the breadth of alternative news, (political, technical, hobby, music, film, etc.)

@tinyroofnail This resonated with something I have been thinking of the past few years: we need diversity. That word has become synonymous with civil rights repair and restoration, but the larger definition shows a path to reconciliation. If we were all inclined to be plumbers, we'd be a failure. Evolution shows us that no single strategy succeeds all the time. Many hands make light work, but many skills make us resilient in the face of disaster.

@patrickrhone Or make one's own clothes. But, of course, it's hard to make the fabric, too. Good post.
-
@odd Sounds healthy.
-
@tracydurnell Thanks, that was a special evening of clouds.
-
@Miraz Love that.
