Amazing flowers at @descansogardens.bsky.social today
Four full bright orange and peach roses with a multitude of petals illuminated in the afternoon sun. Some leaves are visible, as are a few rosebuds. View inside a white rose near the end of its life. Several petals are left hanging low and barely hanging on. In the middle is the center of the flower that is pink. A bee is exploring the inside, looking for pollen and nectar presumably.

This gluon ornament is the force carrier of our Christmas tree.
Gold ornament on a Christmas tree. The ornament is a shiny gold spiral, looking like a gluon in a Feynman diagram. In the background are tree branches and Christmas lights which are far m reflected in the ornament.

Geometrically appropriate breakfast (with colander camera)
Photo of breakfast with a partially eaten donut and cup of tea. A pattern of crescent shaped lights cover the plate, made by projecting the light of the partial solar eclipse through the holes of a colander.
