Hello, froggy!

They defy gravity!

These Lipizzan horses are really magnificent.

Once upon a time God, massacred almost everybody on earth, but when the survivors made really good barbecue, he promised not to do it again.

Sleep well, kiddies!

Scammers don’t even try to put in decent effort anymore. Sad.

I like a lot of the Babylon Bee's satire stories, but they do put out a lot of tendentious crap as well. And yes, Snopes can and should fact-check satire when there's a clear intent to mislead.

The light was beautiful in the sanctuary this evening.

I don’t know where to begin with this, but let’s start with it being wrong in its factual premise. As Rebecca Solnit documents in A Paradise Built in Hell, the historical experience of communities affected by disaster has shown that survivors form spontaneous support networks, rather than descending into the war of all against all that people like Graham say they fear.

My eldest took this... Gorgeous!

Beautiful night at our local swimming hole.

The lake was so calm today, like a mirror.

The flowing water sounds so peaceful.

What a gorgeous evening!
