My wife and I at a perspective exhibit at an museum of illusions in Prague
I saw a nice little concert in Livonia, Michigan at the Trinity House Theater (It used to be a church). Not that greatest picture as I was using my iPhone and obviously I didn't want to use the flash.

Black and white version of the Digby one I posted the other day.
Side of an old rail car before the restoration got underway.
City Hall. Pasadena, California. January 1, 2024.
at the wine shop on a Sunday morning. Decisions, decisions…
ended up with some Portuguese red, Portuguese vinho verde, and some Spanish fizz (not cava)
According to Apple Photos (which is NOT always correct), this species is called "Myrtle Spurge." This was taken at a State Park at about 5,000 ft. elevation, in the middle of a forest after a summer shower.
Luzern city, love the traditional decor on buildings in German-speaking Switzerland. 15 PM image cropped and reduced.

FYI: there was a question last night about AI and the POTD. A couple of posts were spun off to a new thread. I'd encourage everyone who participates here to read it and weigh in.

Photo Threads: Using AI OK?
Subject: POTD and AI I wasn't sure where to post this, but it pertains to this thread specifically and I wanted to be sure that the users of this group are the ones to reply and make the decisions if any are to be made. I'm not sure when the original rules for Photo of the Day were conceived...

For once they are right. 🙂 Your photo is 💗 but
While "Myrtle Spurge." has ornamental value in certain contexts, it's also considered invasive plants in many regions, including parts of North America and Europe.
The milky sap of Myrtle is highly toxic.
Myrtle forms dense colonies as it spread, can aggressively outcompete native plants for resources, suppress the growth of other vegetation and lead to reduced biodiversity. As a result, it can increase soil erosion, especially in dry, rocky environments where it thrives, and it can affect pollinators by reducing populations of native flowering species. These species release phytotoxins from their roots which aid their spread by inhibiting native plant growth. This is one of the reasons that these plants are such aggressive invasive species and should be carefully considered when used as ornamental plants.

I took my infrared converted Nikon D70 to Hever Castle, Kent, England and here is one of the first shots taken with it...

Yep, another bird! No fish in his mouth, though..... He's an Eastern Kingbird who has recently been hanging out around the lake and the neighborhood.
