macro of a Magnolia fruit & one tiny red seed at Duke Gardens. Weird but cool!

Very strange looking! Top half of a large seed pod at the bottom of the photo, stretching into the middle. Pointed, fuzzy yellowish/brown object, with one red seed visible at the top left of the pod and another smaller red seed just below it (but mostly hidden). Grey background.

6-pointed star with purple and white spots surrounded by green leaves. There is a smaller 6-pointed star, also spotted purple and white, in teh middle.

Elongated red petal (facing right) with tiny yellow stamens in the center - surrounded by red leaves and buds. Some green in the background, but really, this is a lot of red.

Purple flower with lots and lots of purple petals covered in dew. Center is brown and some yellow. Some green below the flower and some blurry brown in the background.

Center is a white camellia with lots of petals, surrounded by green leaves at the top half of the photo. Bottom is a stone platform with fallen white petals and some shriveled yellowish petals

Clemson once again proved UNC paid $30 million for a losing football coach and can't find the money to support top 10 academic and research programs

Clemson 38-- UNC 10 and only that because Clemson put in the third team at the half

The Republican party is more concerned with appeasing Trump's ego than with serving the American people. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown is a clear demonstration of their priorities: self-interest over the public good. social.demcast.com/s/efkfeYZM

Democrats want to lower your health care bill. Republicans do not. That's what's up.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

Today’s another crazy day, government-wise, so let’s look at some pretty photos, shall we?

1. A cosmos from a farmer’s market bouquet
2. A Monarch caterpillar eating ALL the milkweed
3. A sunflower blooms in Raleigh’s sunflower park

All photos by #StephaniesVision

Large flower in the center with white petals and pink tips on each petal, around a yellow center. On the outside of the main flower are white and dark pink flowers with some green leaves

Large black and yellow and white caterpillar stretched out on along a green stem. All leaves on that stem are gone (eaten by the caterpillar) while large green leaves surround the bottom of the caterpillar.

Reader: all of those green leaves have now been eaten

Large flower with yellow petals along the right side of the brown center. The petals on the left side have not yet opened and are framed by green. The whol photo is framed by green leaves.
