The image captures a serene natural scene. A winding stream flows through the middle of a dense forest, surrounded by tall, dark trees. The trees create an intricate pattern of bare branches against a bright sky. Sunlight pierces through the branches, creating a strong glare and casting elongated shadows onto the water below. The water reflects light, producing a shimmering effect as it moves gently downstream. In the foreground, vibrant green grass contrasts with the muted tones of the forest, adding a touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene.

This is kind of a strange image that captures a scenic sunset over a suburban neighbourhood, specifically showing a view of Mount Boucherie (West Kelowna). The sky features dramatic, colourful clouds illuminated by the setting sun while the neighbourhood below is beginning to get dark as twilight approaches. The sky which takes up 3/4s of the scene is stunning, as if it were a painting. With the backdrop of a powder blue sky, there are all kind of clouds of all shapes and sizes filling it - billowing, streaks, dots, puffy, some following the leader in a horizontal line, big, small, in shades of whites, grey, yellows & gold. The mass of land below is extremely dark, but you can see that there are many buildings built across the hillside they are on. A hint of pine tree silhouettes line the top of the hills - which were actually formed once upon a time from an ancient volcano.

Yellow Cat Flat, Utah The La Sal Mt's east of Moab Utah are in the distance, Moab lies behind the backside of Arches Nat'l Mon, on the far right near distance.
Wind and water wash sharp stones out of the layers of clay, remnants of broken hard chalcedony and agates from layers above. Different color minerals within the predominant clay create rainbow effects across the weathered mounds downslope.
Small hard gem agates and other pebbles form their own little pedestals as wind and water continuously wear away at the silty bentonite clay. Many of these brights flakes of sharp stone seemed to be debitage from stone tool making. The agatized shards of stone are colorful and good material for small knives, arrow points and scrapers.
Wind-sculpted sandstone along the bluffs bears witness to changing beach layers over time, now worn away in whirlwinds of time.
An area north of Moab Utah colloquially named 'The Poison Strip' for its historic mining activity has a fantastically layering of sandstone, bentonite clay deposits and assortment of other minerals. An early 20th century relative prospected here, I traced his path

Dessert, centered on a square black plate with rounded corners: golden cornflake-crusted French toast, accented with stewed rhubarb, and topped with bacon ice cream. A purple flower blossom rests upon the scoop of pale yellow ice cream, and crispy bacon lardons float in the melty ice cream puddled at the base of the stack.
Layers of yum!
This was the #dessert course at an amazing "bacon breakfast" served by the Journeyman Meat Company in #Healdsburg, #CA, a couple of years ago.
Fun? Yes!
Over the top? Absolutely.
Delicious? Oh my, yes!

Vast rural landscape under bright blue sky featuring prominent diagonal line of fluffy white clouds. In the foreground, a wide flat field of golden-yellow crops stretches across the bottom. A dense line of green trees borders the edge of the field, separating it from rolling hills in the distance. edc58ff6-1d62-49fd-a867-4e2b9efa5868

A pale blue strip of sky meets a slightly larger strip of the azure of a glistening ocean meets a cluster of palm trees just in front of a little surg and blowing to the left, meets a larger nearer cluster of, I believe indigenous to Big Island/Hawaii trees maybe named Koa? meets a bigger strip of straw coloured grasses that completes the layered scenery.
