Some French bakeries get really creative with the baguette.
A baguette made by twisting two strands, one covered in poppy seeds and one covered in sesame seeds. Picture taken today. The Seine and contre-jour clouds in the background.

Scrolling through old photos, remembering a trip south.
A city on a bay seen from a hill at sunset. Clouds on the horizon. Behind me, not pictured, one of the most famous statues in the world.

Four months later that same plant is flowering again. How does this work?

I like this kind of lighting but maybe with a Penrose tiling.
Screenshot from ep. 5 of Genie, Make a Wish. A black car reflects strongly the lighting, which is thin tubes arranged in a hexagonal tiling.

Look how the raindrops are reflecting the sun.

This tree is now (in October!) full of these freak cherries.

We both touched grass today. Happy #Caturday!

2016. Apparently I was in Arizona and met an ancestor of my cat.

Screenshot from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Mendelssohn saying: "In 1842, this resulted in an embarrassing moment when Queen Victoria, receiving Felix at Buckingham Palace, expressed her intention of singing to the composer her favourite of his songs, Italien (to words by Franz Grillparzer), which Felix confessed was by Fanny."

How many squares would you estimate? I was way off. (Answer in alt text.)
A grid-lined sheet of paper with 41 by 58 grid lines, so 2378 grid squares.

Great lyrics from Solann including this hard-to-translate line.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2ei...
Screenshot of the Google Translate extension trying to translate the verse "Et ils me veulent, et elles m'en veulent" to "And they want me, and they want me back". The real meaning is "And the men want me, and the women resent me".

Going to Paris on a Monday morning is more fun than I would have thought. Very few tourists.
Photo of the Paris 2024 Olympic "flame". It's a big grey balloon with flames at the bottom simulated using steam and red lights.

don't mind me, just saving for future reference
Two pages from Theodoros (384 and 385). In Romanian. Talks about natives who think their country is the best and all immigrants are the worst.

Look how cute it is. How can you get mad?
Screenshot from ChatGPT. Question: "how many Bs in the word blueberry?" Answer: "The word blueberry has 3 Bs -- one at the start, and two together in the middle. Kind of a "B-B-burst" of berry-ness."
