It was an amazing night in the Jordan valley we love northern Michigan.

Vibrant oranges and red leaves as the sunsets in the Jordan valley

When we let our fears and worry consume us, we miss our appointment with life. It is vital to return to our breathing and be in the present moment. It is all we truly have. Rest well, my friends. 😊

Reflections by a Quiet Shore at Sunset

A serene beach scene at low tide during sunset, with a calm pool of water in the foreground reflecting the colourful pink, purple, and orange clouds in the sky. A tall marker pole stands near the water, silhouetted against the horizon. The overall scene has a peaceful, reflective atmosphere.

The Advanced Technology of Ancient Rome: Automatic Doors, Water Clocks, Vending Machines & More

Ancient Rome never had an industrial revolution. Granted, certain historians have objected now and again to that once-settled claim, gesturing toward large heaps of pottery discovered in garbage dumps...

I'm usually out in nature taking photos, but occasionally I experiment with something new. Since #BlueSkyArtShow is about #smooth things today, I dug up one of my water drop photos to find a silky smooth texture. 💧

A close-up photo of a single water droplet captured mid-splash, forming a smooth column that rises from a ripple in a calm, blue surface. The droplet is perfectly spherical, suspended at the top of the water spike, with reflections and subtle gradients creating a serene and abstract effect.

Traffic is also a flow problem, which is why circulation planning matters as much as reallocating space in section.

It is also why buses can be more "efficient" than bikes; in some cases, they need to get priority over bikes and pedestrians, contrary to what the various transport pyramid suggests.

Taking a peek at a cute pine marten, also known as an American marten (ID by Google). It is a member of the weasel family.

They have slender bodies, short limbs, and a long, bushy tail.
Their fur is typically yellowish-brown with a pale patch on the throat and chest.

might I ask, if you please
may I share a set of #bees
I've always wondered if they have knees
or if allergic to pollen would they sneeze.
