We had fun, even though the parade was tiny, cold, windy and wet.

He does get annoyed. And forget wildlife shots. He's already cleared the area. For my safety of course.

The Senate can't reach an agreement because the House would be called into session.

He enjoys water, but more sprinting through it and everywhere else. He's poodle/bulldog so water isn't his top priority...

I sat and watched these baby trout(?) for awhile in the pond today.

This might be their birthing pondโ€”the rains will come soon and theyโ€™ll be racing downhill toward the larger Ramapo River and Passaic. #Hiking #NewYork

The Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls USA allows visitors to walk along the base of the Bridal Veil and American Falls during the warmer months of the year. The attraction is dismantled and rebuilt every year so as to prevent damage from ice which forms during the winter.

The photograph captures a deep, lush railway cutting on a bright, sunny day. A single set of railway tracks, weathered and slightly overgrown, curves gently through the centre of the frame, disappearing into the distance beneath a stone-arched bridge. The tracks are flanked by a dense forest of trees and bushes, vibrant with the colours of early autumn. The foliage on the left side is predominantly a rich, deep green, while the right side displays a more varied palette, with splashes of yellow and reddish-brown leaves.
The railway line itself is in a state of disuse or light use, with grass and weeds growing between the sleepers and around the rails. A short section of what appears to be a parallel track or maintenance siding is visible on the left side of the main line, a few meters from the foreground.
On the right side, two circular, white signs with red borders are affixed to a wooden post, stacked one above the other. The top sign contains the number "15," and the bottom sign contains the number "25." These signs are likely related to speed limits or other operational instructions for the railway.
Above the cutting, a sturdy, multi-arched bridge, constructed from weathered gray stone, spans the gap, connecting the two sides of the valley. The bridge is partially obscured by the tree canopy, but its architectural details are discernible.
The sky is a brilliant, clear blue, filled with a scattering of puffy, white cumulus clouds. The light is midday sun, casting a gentle illumination over the scene. The overall impression is one of peaceful solitude and the quiet passage of time in a natural landscape where human infrastructure has been reclaimed by nature. The composition draws the eye along the tracks, leading it into the tranquil, forested distance.

donโ€™t forget to turn your camera off kids

Hi Student_9000,

I wanted to reach out to you following this morningโ€™s class. I really appreciated your contributions to our discussion, but felt that I should follow up with you.

I noticed that, during class, you appeared to consume an entire chocolate cake. Normally I would never be one to police my studentsโ€™ eating habits, but I reviewed the class recording and you finished the whole thing in 43 seconds. Iโ€™m pretty sure I watched you unhinge your jaw like some kind of snake.

Is everything going okay at home? Is your jaw okay? Please let me know if I can be of any support.
