Enjoying more Yemeni coffee.
A photo of a tray holding two iced coffees, a pastry, and a slice of cheesecake, all served on a wooden table. The latte on the right has the text "Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co." printed on the side. Both drinks appear to be layered, with milk/cream at the bottom and coffee on top, and are filled with ice. * Pastry: A triangular-shaped, pull-apart pastry is on a black plate in the foreground. It is golden brown, topped with black sesame seeds, and drizzled with a dark syrup or honey. * Dessert: A slice of cheesecake is on a smaller black plate to the right. It has a graham cracker crust, a cream-colored filling, and is topped with a dark chocolate layer and a garnish of what appears to be chopped pistachios. 🖼️

The wife and I couldn’t pass up the chance to try out the new Qamaria Yemeni coffee shop in the neighborhood.
A picture of a decorative tray on a wooden table holding two desserts and two tall iced coffees. On the left is a square piece of pistachio milk cake topped with white frosting. On the right is a slice of cheesecake with a chocolate glaze and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios. Behind the cakes, there are two clear glasses, each printed with "Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co." The glass on the left is an iced marib coffee and the other glass is a pistachio iced latte. The scene is set in a cafe with wooden chairs and tables.

SoCal sunset.
The image shows a dramatic sunset sky filled with layered clouds. The top part of the scene is dominated by medium-gray clouds scattered across a pale blue backdrop. Toward the horizon, the clouds take on brilliant shades of orange, pink, and red, illuminated by the setting sun. The intense warm colors give a striking contrast against the cooler gray and blue above. Silhouetted along the lower edge of the image are several plants. The shapes appear to be leafy shrubs and possibly small palm fronds, standing upright with slender stems and bushy foliage. The silhouettes are sharply defined against the glowing sky.

@sweetmarias You can’t beat freshly roasted coffee.
Four bags of freshly roasted coffee. Approximately 320 g each. The two bags on the left are a Mexico Chiapas washed coffee and the two bags on the right are a Burundi dry processed coffee.

You can never go wrong withHalo Halo.
Two tall plastic cups with lids, each containing a visually striking Halo Halo drink. The main part of the drinks is a light purple, creamy smoothie or shake, topped with a scoop of pale yellow ice cream. One cup has a visible square of caramel candy on top of the ice cream. Both cups have layers of black tapioca pearls (boba), green and red jellies at the bottom. The cups are branded with the words “CAFÉ 86” and “TEA • COFFEE AND ALL THINGS ALLA MODE.” The background includes a rustic brick wall, and the drinks are placed on a wooden table. The overall appearance is colorful, inviting, and indulgent.

She’s into photography and likes taking photos of the birds in the backyard. She figures it’s a fair trade off. 
Hummingbird perched on a thin branch. The bird has iridescent green feathers on its back and head, with a light-colored underside and a small patch of reddish-orange on its throat. Its long, slender beak is pointed forward. The background consists of green, elongated leaves, softly blurred, giving the scene a natural, tranquil feel.

Backyard foliage
This vibrant garden scene, bathed in bright sunlight, features a striking array of cacti and flowering plants. In the foreground, two magnificent white cactus flowers are in full bloom, each with numerous delicate petals that are primarily creamy white, transitioning to a soft blush pink or pale yellow at their tips. The centers of these flowers are a pale lime green, from which a dense cluster of slender, light yellow stamens emerges, creating a soft, feathery texture. These two prominent flowers appear to be blooming from a smaller, green cactus stem that is partially visible at the very bottom center of the frame. Behind them, a tall, thick, ribbed green cactus stands vertically, its main stem branching into two arms that stretch upwards. This cactus has a textured appearance with noticeable bumps or areoles along its ridges. A third, equally impressive white cactus flower is blooming near the top of the rightmost branch of this taller cactus, adding another focal point to the image. The background is a lively mix of lush green foliage and colorful blooms. To the left, there's a large, round, teal-colored pot with a distressed finish, holding more green plants. Below and in front of this pot, clusters of vivid red geraniums with their distinctive ruffled petals create a bold splash of color. On the right side of the frame, a large succulent with rosette-shaped, reddish-green leaves is visible in a terracotta pot. Throughout the mid-ground, vibrant magenta or fuchsia-colored flowers are interspersed among the green leaves, adding depth and a playful pop of color to the overall garden landscape. This photo, bathed in bright sunlight, showcases a tall, multi-stemmed cactus as its central subject, with a single, large white flower blooming near its top. The cactus has two main, thick, ribbed green stems that angle slightly outwards from a central base, reaching upwards. These stems have noticeable bumps or areoles along their ridges. Perched atop the rightmost stem, the large, luminous white flower with a hint of pale yellow in its center is prominently displayed. Its petals appear soft and numerous, radiating outwards. The cactus is situated within a bustling garden environment. To the lower left, there's a terracotta-colored pot with a textured, possibly distressed, finish, holding more green foliage. In front of and below this pot, several clusters of vibrant red flowers, likely geraniums, add a bold splash of color to the scene. Behind the main cactus stems, the background is a rich tapestry of green leaves from various other plants, creating a lush, somewhat dense backdrop. Amongst this greenery, there are bright accents of magenta or fuchsia-colored flowers, adding depth and contrast to the scene. The overall impression is a vibrant, sun-drenched corner of a garden, teeming with plant life. This vibrant, sunlit photo captures a pair of stunning, large white cactus flowers in full bloom, dominating the foreground. Each flower is a dazzling spectacle of creamy white petals, layered and slightly ruffled, with delicate hints of blush pink or pale yellow along their outer edges. The centers of the flowers are a beautiful lime green, from which radiate numerous thin, pale yellow stamens, creating a soft, feathery burst. The flowers are clearly attached to a green, ribbed cactus stem, which extends vertically from the bottom of the frame, disappearing upwards. This stem, likely belonging to the cactus that produced the flowers, is prominently featured, with its distinctive vertical ridges and small, evenly spaced bumps or areoles. In the background, the scene is a lush tapestry of greenery and bright colors, suggesting a garden setting. Directly behind the prominent cactus flowers, another, much taller and thicker cactus stem rises vertically, reaching towards the top of the frame. This stem is a deeper green and appears to be more mature. Scattered throughout the background are splashes of vivid red and magenta flowers. On the left side, there's a cluster of bright red geranium-like flowers, and on the right, hints of fuchsia or bougainvillea add pops of purple-pink. The overall impression is one of a thriving, sun-drenched garden, with the majestic cactus blossoms as the undeniable stars.

The image features a majestic red tailed hawk perched atop a beige, cylindrical structure with horizontal slats, possibly a ventilation pipe or part of a street light. The hawk is facing left, with its head slightly turned towards the viewer, revealing a sharp, curved beak and keen eyes. Its plumage is a rich brown on its back and wings, contrasting with a lighter, creamy chest and belly that is streaked with brown markings. The hawk's powerful talons grip the top of the structure firmly. In the foreground, out of focus, are blurred green fronds, likely from a palm tree, suggesting an outdoor setting with some vegetation. The background is a clear, light blue sky.

This photo captures a small, rufous-colored hummingbird perched on a light brown, dried seed pod, surrounded by vibrant pink flowers. The hummingbird is positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing left, with a light green head and a reddish-orange throat and chest. Its back and tail are a similar rufous-brown. The pink flowers, which appear to be oleander blossoms, dominate the left side and bottom of the frame, creating a vivid contrast with the bird and the muted, out-of-focus background. The plant also has long, slender green leaves visible.

Daddy? What did you do during the great battle for Los Angeles?
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A once great American City, Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by Illegal Aliens and Criminals. Now violent, insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking our Federal Agents to try and stop our deportation operations - But these lawless riots only strengthen our resolve. I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Pam Bondi, in coordination with all other relevant Departments and Agencies, to take all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles from the Migrant Invasion, and put an end to these Migrant riots. Order will be restored, the Illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 286 ReTruths 927 Likes 6/8/25, 5:06 PM

The image captures a red-tailed hawk soaring against a perfectly clear, vibrant blue sky. The hawk is viewed from directly below, showcasing its broad wings fully extended in flight. Its body is relatively compact, and its head is subtly turned, allowing a glimpse of its dark eye. The underside of its wings displays a beautiful pattern of light and dark brown banding, with the darkest feathers being the primary flight feathers at the wingtips. The underparts of its body are predominantly light, likely a creamy white or pale buff, and there are some faint streaks or a belly band visible across its abdomen. The most distinctive feature, and the one that gives the bird its name, is its tail, which appears a rusty, reddish-orange color. The tail is fanned slightly, completing the powerful and graceful silhouette of the raptor in mid-flight.

Aftermath of our little thunderstorm earlier today.
This image displays a clear and colorful rainbow arcing across a lightly overcast sky. The view is taken from an elevated position, looking out over rooftops and some greenery. The most prominent feature is the rainbow, which spans from the lower right side of the frame, curving upwards towards the upper left. The distinct bands of color, from red on the outside to violet on the inside, are well-defined, although the overall light suggests the sun might be somewhat diffused. In the midground and foreground, the scene is grounded by the roof of a house, covered in light-colored, possibly beige or light gray, roof tiles. A chimney of a matching color is visible on the right side of the roof, extending upwards. Beneath the rainbow and partially obscuring the roof are the lush, green fronds of a palm tree, which add a vibrant touch of life to the bottom center of the image. To the far left, a portion of a darker green coniferous tree (like a pine) is also visible. In the upper left quadrant, silhouetted against the sky, is a metal utility pole or a large floodlight structure with horizontal crossbars. The sky itself is a soft, muted gray, suggesting a cloudy or hazy day, which provides an excellent backdrop for the rainbow to stand out. This image captures a beautiful, distinct rainbow stretching across a cloudy sky, seen from an elevated perspective that includes rooftops and some vegetation. The dominant feature is the rainbow, arcing gracefully from the lower right of the frame towards the upper left. Its colors are clearly visible, though slightly muted by the atmospheric conditions, displaying the characteristic spectrum from red on the outer edge to violet on the inner edge. Below the rainbow, the scene transitions to a more terrestrial view, focusing on the roofline of a residential building. The roof is made of light-colored, possibly beige or light grey, tiles, with a classic peaked design. On the right side of the roof, a chimney is visible, also a light color, blending with the roof tiles. In the foreground, partially obscuring the roof and extending from the bottom and left edges of the frame, are the fronds of a palm tree. The vibrant green of the palm leaves contrasts gently with the more subdued tones of the sky and roof. To the far left, a portion of another tree, likely a pine or conifer due to its darker green and needle-like appearance, is also visible. In the mid-ground, on the left side, a utility pole or a part of a stadium light structure can be seen, consisting of dark metal cross-beams against the sky. The sky itself is overcast, a soft, uniform grey, which provides a serene backdrop that allows the rainbow to stand out without competing bright sunlight.

Screenshot of a text message conversation. The message is from a phone number with a +63 country code (Philippines) and claims to be from the California State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The message is labeled as a "Final Notice" and says that enforcement penalties will begin on May 27. It claims the recipient has an outstanding traffic ticket and lists several consequences if payment is not made by May 26, 2025, including: 1. Reporting to the DMV violation database 2. Suspension of vehicle registration starting May 26 3. Suspension of driving privileges for 30 days 4. Transfer to a toll booth and a 35% service fee 5. Possible prosecution and negative impact on credit score The message provides a suspicious-looking link (https://cdmv.gov-csh.win/pay) for payment and urges immediate action to avoid license suspension and legal disputes. It also instructs the recipient to reply "Y" and reopen the message to click the link or copy it to a browser. This message appears to be a phishing scam, as it uses threatening language, a non-official link, and comes from a non-U.S. phone number.

Backyard foliage
This close-up, top-down photograph captures a large, intricate white flower, likely a night-blooming cactus, surrounded by lush green foliage. The flower dominates the center of the frame, its many petals radiating outwards from a central core. The petals are a pristine white, with a soft, slightly fuzzy texture visible. They are arranged in multiple layers, starting with an outermost ring of narrower, pointed petals that have a subtle hint of pale pink or lavender on their undersides, especially towards their tips. These transition inwards to wider, rounded petals that form the bulk of the flower's volume. At the very center of the bloom, there is a vibrant cluster of chartreuse green pistils and numerous delicate, pale yellow stamens. The stamens are tipped with tiny, darker yellow anthers, creating a soft, feathery appearance. This central area appears slightly recessed, drawing the eye into the heart of the flower. Behind and around the flower, hints of the cactus plant itself are visible, including a thick, green, ribbed stem. Various green leaves, some appearing to belong to the cactus and others from surrounding plants, form a verdant backdrop. In the bottom right corner of the image, a splash of bright fuchsia or magenta appears to be another flower, possibly a bougainvillea, peeking out from the greenery, adding a pop of contrasting color to the scene. The lighting suggests a bright, possibly outdoor setting.

The lighting suggests a bright, possibly outdoor setting. This is a close-up, top-down shot of a large, beautiful white flower, likely a night-blooming cactus, surrounded by various green plants and some red flowers. The main white flower is the central focus of the image, taking up most of the frame. The white flower has numerous layers of petals. The innermost petals are pure white, wide, and soft-looking, creating a full, voluminous shape. As the petals extend outwards, they become narrower and more pointed, and their undersides show a subtle transition from white to a very pale pink or light green, particularly at the tips. At the very heart of the white flower, there's a vivid lime green cluster of pistils, surrounded by a dense ring of delicate, pale yellow stamens. These stamens have tiny, darker yellow tips. Around the prominent white flower, you can see lush green foliage. In the bottom left and right corners, and peeking from behind the main flower, are clusters of vibrant red flowers, likely geraniums or similar types, adding a strong color contrast. In the upper left corner, another white flower, similar in appearance but slightly out of focus, can be partially seen, suggesting there might be multiple blooms. The overall impression is one of a thriving garden with various blossoms. There is no text in the image.
