Aurora very slightly out tonight.
Nighttime view of a suspension bridge illuminated by streetlights, with its structure and stone arches prominently visible. The sky is a vivid mix of purple and black hues, clearly caused by the presence of an aurora, with faint stars scattered throughout. Bare winter trees are in the foreground, and the glowing lights of a nearby town are visible in the background.

Apple Intelligence summaries make it sound like the house is under siege.
A screenshot of a notification from the Ring app displayed in the Notification Center. The notification reads, ‘5–10 people at your front door’ and indicates it was received 22 minutes ago. The Ring app icon, featuring a blue background with a white doorbell symbol, is displayed on the left. The background of the notification is blurred, showing part of a scenic outdoor setting.

Onyx is here for the snax.
A close-up of a small black dog with expressive eyes, looking up eagerly at a hand holding a pink-frosted doughnut with white icing stripes. The dog’s nose is close to the doughnut, showing interest in the treat. The hand holding the doughnut is wearing a bright pink sleeve. The background is a green grassy area, and the scene captures a cute, playful moment between the dog and its owner.

All I wanted to do was walk and walk and walk, and that’s what I took myself out to do.
A scenic landscape with an overcast sky, showing a lush green area with dense trees and bushes in the foreground. The Menai suspension bridge spans across a river on the left, with gentle hills and autumn-coloured trees in the background. There are scattered gravestones visible in a small cemetery near the centre of the image, adding a peaceful, timeless quality to the scene. A woodland path covered with a thick layer of fallen autumn leaves, winding through a dense forest. The trees above are a mix of green and golden foliage, with some branches extending low over the path. Bushes and shrubs flank the pathway, creating a rich, natural tunnel effect. The scene feels calm and inviting, embodying the beauty of the forest in autumn. A serene coastal landscape featuring a narrow, sandy path leading through grassy dunes towards a quiet beach. A solitary, leafless tree stands near the centre, surrounded by tufts of brown and green grass. Beyond the beach lies a calm expanse of water, with distant hills and mountains stretching across the horizon under a cloudy sky. The scene is tranquil, capturing the quiet beauty of a coastal setting on a cloudy day.”

Ironically, for a half day induction about AI, the projector failed 5 minutes in and we had to do it old school. Made for a good example when a student asked if they’d be at a disadvantage not using AI and I told them they’d develop skills needed when the tech fails!
A woman with short, curly grey hair is standing in front of a lecture room, giving a presentation. They are gesturing with both hands raised, appearing to explain something. They are wearing a pink long-sleeved top, a black knee-length skirt, and black boots. A lanyard with an ID badge is visible around their neck. Behind them, there is a large whiteboard with some text written on it and a projector screen. The room has wooden paneling and a green carpet, with audience members sitting in the foreground.

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.
A young boy stands barefoot on a sandy beach, facing the ocean. He is wearing a blue and white tie-dye t-shirt, dark shorts, and a light blue cap. The boy looks out towards the calm sea, which reflects the pastel hues of the sky filled with soft, layered clouds in shades of blue and gray. The horizon shows distant islands or landmasses under the expansive sky.
