Double Rainbow from 2011:
This was first time I noticed that order of colors in the arcs of a double rainbow are reversed. (Colors flip on reflection. Inner arc is from rays that only reflected once inside raindrop. Rays for outer arc got two bounces.)

..Darn power lines tic-tac-toed my rainbow.

When I visited Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye in 2014, it had a nifty rock spiral.
But in older photos of the glen, the "fairies" had made a pattern of concentric circles. Maybe they finished studying the physics of raindrops making waves on water, and they moved on to studying spiral galaxies.

"...So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that tower'd around,
-Edgar Allen Poe

(Loch Ness in 2014)

Excerpt from Pope Leo speech that suggests human creativity adds value beyond the scope of an AI algorithm:

Washinton Monument viewed from Arlington Cemetery. Preservation of liberty-and-justice-for-all has always required commitment and sacrifice.

For Everything There is a Season:
This juxtaposition of pansies and holly made me think of the transition that people in the USA are currently undergoing. The fair-weather days for pansies are fading. Now is the time for the strength and resilience of the holly bush.

Pansy's last hurrah:
Wanted to capture pansy's cheery face before the cold front hits.

The sun shone with determination today, defying the clouds' best efforts to restrain its rays. Let there be light!

When hiking, there sometimes is no pre-made path in the direction you need to go. Feels like a good metaphor for life right now.
