In un'aiuola creata da un muro di contenimento in pietra a lato di una strada, delle rose rosse che hanno perso del tutto o in parte i loro petali si stagliano di fronte ad un paesaggio collinare che, all'alba, è illuminato dai primi raggi del sole.

Oxeye daisy with extra rain

One of a few Oxeye daisies, yellow center with white petals, that are still in bloom along the walk today. Some of the rain that has been falling for days now has almost completely covered the daisy in droplets. It’s surrounded by green leaves

more looking up

Looking straight up at a ‘textured’ white and blue sky. Clouds lightly covered the sky, the pattern resembling skin according to reports. A few treetops in silhouette around the edges. From a few days ago

everything

October eve brings sky of pale blue lit with goldening clouds lit with deepening orange purple horizon behind silhouette loblollies where an eagle’s nest is newly empty awaiting again and ripples catch that golden shimmer and shadow reflection and grasses and ripples embroider it all, all the echoes of light of the call of herons and here and there a tern that came from so far to rest here, here

JD Vance is a coward. He sold his soul for a seat of power. He sold his soul to someone he called “Hitler” to advance his own career. JD Vance is everything that’s wrong with our politics today.

WELKER: Is the DOJ acting on orders from the president to prosecute his political opponents?

JD VANCE: No ... You know who we haven't prosecuted? Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton ... he's allowed to have opinions about law enforcement

A vibrant orange cosmos flower in sharp focus against a blurred green background, with a fuzzy bumblebee perched on its center disk florets. The flower’s delicate petals radiate outward, illuminated by warm morning light. Additional orange cosmos blooms appear softly out of focus in the background.

...è soltanto un discorso sospeso @soltantosospeso.bsky.social · 2d

...io amo la semplicità che si accompagna con l’umiltà. Mi piace la gente che sa ascoltare il vento sulla pelle, sentire gli odori delle cose, catturarne l’anima.
Perché lì c’è verità, lì c’è dolcezza, lì c’è sensibilità, lì c’è ancora amore.

I prefer taking the road less travelled when I’m in my autumn-mobile. 😊🍂

Driving down a winding country road during autumn. The leaves are changing colours, and there are mountains and trees in the distance. The sky is blue with several clouds.

The Monastery of the Holy Trinity (Agio Triada) in Meteora, Greece, built in the 15th century and part of the UNESCO World Heritage

#Stunday #SundayYellow #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #photography #landscape #scape #nature #RockinTuesday #thelittlethings #photohour #EastCoastKin

The picture shows one of the famous Meteora monasteries in Greece, perched atop a high, steep sandstone rock. The name 'Meteora' means 'suspended in the air,' aptly describing the location of the monasteries. The massive rock on which the monastery stands dominates the image. The rock walls are rugged and reddish-brown in color. Green vegetation grows at the base and on the slopes of the rock. On the summit of the rock, several buildings can be seen forming the monastery complex. The buildings have light beige walls and red roofs. The sky in the background is dark on the left side, while the monastery and the rock are illuminated by the sun. This interplay of light makes the monastery stand out against the dark backdrop.

That Hummingbird does not look happy with Owliver's choice of sleeping location today. There were at least 3 or 4 buzzing him because I think he might have been near a nest. #Birds #Nature #Photography

I weep for the country I so loved. It is no longer. At least not now.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
