Layered waterfalls cascade into pale blue pools, framed by leaves and warm sunlight filtering through the dense tropical forest.

Star Trek Voyager scene. We're in sick bay, or six bay if you're a Friend of DeSoto. We see the EMH Doc standing up in front of his medical station. He's in his blue back uniform, holding his hand to his tummy, and looking up like he's thinking about something or doing math in his head. Closed caption reads, "I think I'm hungry."

Shellmounds, sacred Ohlone sites used as burial places and gathering areas, were constructed by Indigenous people to connect with their ancestors, each other, and the land. Shellmounds can be found throughout the Bay Area & helped inspire the design of the Ohlone garden on the Academy’s Living Roof.

“ Hands up if you want more peanuts.” #HolidayRobin #photography #birds #EastCoastKin
A European robin stands on a mossy surface with one wing lifted high, as if stretching or mid-gesture. Its bright orange-red breast and face contrast with its soft grey and brown plumage. Behind it, blurred branches and fresh green leaves create a natural woodland backdrop, with tiny droplets still clinging to the twigs.

Al tramonto, le montagne dell'Appennino Romagnolo ricoperte della prima neve autunnale, risplendono ai raggi dorati del sole che sono riusciti a penetrare attraverso lo strato di nuvole rosate che ricoprono il cielo.

Abraham Darby rose is a vigorous, English shrub rose known for its very large, deeply cupped blooms in shades of apricot, pink, and yellow, which become more coral-pink as they age. It has a strong, fruity fragrance with a refreshing sharpness and is a prolific. By Thabo Nkadimeng.
