The fiery glow of Sunday fades,
The old week’s weight now slips away.
Fresh hope blooms in the twilight shades,
To greet the dawn of a brand new day.

Photo by Kort Duce A weathered padlock hangs in quiet tension from a chain-wrapped fence post, its weight pulling the links into a subtle diagonal across the frame. In this vertical black-and-white photograph, the lock sits just left of center, its worn metal surface etched with fine scratches that catch the light. The chain drapes downward in a loose line, each link distinct and slightly twisted, suggesting both strength and age. A rough steel post divides the composition, rising straight through the frame while strands of barbed wire stretch horizontally, their sharp points contrasting with the smooth curves of the chain. The interplay of lines—vertical post, horizontal wire, and angled chain—creates a restrained geometric rhythm. The background fades into a soft blur, isolating the subject and lending a sense of stillness and quiet isolation. The monochrome tones emphasize texture and form, turning an ordinary fence detail into a study of tension, restraint, and time.

A tiny crab spider exploring a blackberry bramble blossom, pale, white, five-petaled flower with a gold spiky center in a field of soft blurry greens

I was just about to leave when this little spider wanted to have their portrait taken

I promise you this will fill your heart full of joy.

Nothing captures the positive bond between a human and their dog quite like this.

Priceless ❤️

A foggy scene shot from the shore of a lake. In the foreground are decaying reeds and grasses. Trees almost in silhouette due to the fog are mid-right. The rest is fog.

Fog is anti-landscape.

Sam Altman's Creepy Eyeball-Scanning Company Gets in Bed With Zoom and Tinder Will your boss require an eyeball scan the next time you need to jump on Zoom?

"Sam Altman's Creepy..." is a headline could end right there.

I had never seen ice form like this before, they were in the shape of tiny bells hanging by each twig on a bush just inches above the stream.

Good morning (Yosemite; photo, Rich Brooks)

This is Rex. He found a missing child in 12 minutes on his first tracking mission. "He’s kind of a triple threat," his handler said. He's trained as a therapy dog, explosive detection canine, and missing person tracker. When the girl was safe, Rex shifted to comfort mode. 14/10 (IG: arapahoeso)

When I spotted this window into the valley below I thought it might be too ideal. With AI making everything so perfect now maybe I set this real shot up without having enough imbalance. Might do a recrop to see if pushing it off center works.

Will make a great print above my door tho

@dmimaging.bsky.social spotted this vista while we were exploring the border region of Colorado and Wyoming, I spotted the framing lol

Colorado Ranching is fading away as tourism and construction projects urbanize the state I grew up in. But there are still hidden places where my heart can smile and my soul can breathe.

Recent adventure with @dmimaging.bsky.social we stumbled across this scene.

A small child just asked me if dogs were smart and I said they were but not as smart as dolphins and he said “dolphins are equal to us, except they don’t pay taxes” so I think this kid is a libertarian
