The city glow below, the cosmos above.

Worth staying up late for this spectacular display of the #NorthernLights
A dramatic night sky scene featuring a bright aurora borealis, displaying vibrant vertical streaks of green on the left blending into deep pink and magenta on the right. The aurora dominates the upper two-thirds of the image. Below the aurora, a distant silhouette of mountains meets the faint glow of a small city or town across the dark landscape. The starry night sky is visible above the colorful light display.

Just an FYI - please get your flu and COVID vaccines. I got my flu shot a few weeks ago, but they didn’t have COVID.

Failing to get one was a mistake.

My case is very mild, and I tested on a hunch rather than symptoms.

I’m masked up now, but COVID is still out there, protect yourself!

I think we have enough candy for tonight.

Or rather, I hope we do (our neighborhood has a ton of trick-or-treaters) 😬

Autumn in the mountains
#Fall #Sunset
A dramatic landscape photo. A dark, imposing mountains with a rounded peak dominates the background under a sky of heavy, dark evening clouds. A shaft of sunlight breaks through the clouds on the left, illuminating a line of trees in the middle ground, which are glowing with bright yellow and orange autumn foliage. The foreground is a muted brown field.

Looks like I randomly caught you on video!
A street-level, medium shot of a crowd of people at a protest on an overcast day. In the center, a woman holds a sign that reads "NO KINGS" with a red X drawn over a yellow crown. To the left of her, a person in a large, inflatable Tyrannosaurus Rex costume stands amongst the crowd next to an American flag. The protesters are dressed in warm clothing, including jackets and hats.
