The top of a pitched-roof factory building, the top of its gable end covered in sky blue corrugated metal with the word 'ENGINEERING' in white italic capitals across it. Above the white roofline (with a small chimney at one end) is the blue sky with assorted light clouds.

A photo inside the old John Rylands Library last week.
It shows a wood panelled room full of wooden bookcases full of old books. 
The bookcases have glass fronts to protect the books.
The room is dimly lit with light from window s above and spotlights.
A man in workwear, hi-vis vest and a hard hat hanging from a backpack is stood looking at the books

The Fortune Teller, 1630s. So much deception! And not for nothing do some refer to Georges de la Tour as the Master of the Side-Eye. He was born on this day in 1593.

Mrs. Job: I am not at all happy w/ this situation. Job: have patience. Sometimes it's hard! Advice from Georges de la Tour, whose day is today.

Sunday’s sunrise above the Helena National Forest unfolds in long, quiet layers of color. The sky is brushed with wide bands of warm coral, soft salmon, and pale amber, as if the morning light has been gently painted across a high ceiling of thin clouds. Each streak of cloud catches the first sunlight differently, some glowing a deeper orange while others fade into cool gray-blue, giving the sky a calm, flowing texture.

Along the bottom of the scene, the dark silhouette of the forested ridgeline stretches across the horizon. Tall conifers stand in jagged rows against the brightening sky, their pointed crowns forming a saw-toothed edge that clearly marks the boundary between night and day. The trees remain nearly black in the early light, emphasizing the contrast between the quiet shadow of the land and the warming sky above.

A few small clouds drift low over the ridge, darker and denser than the thin layers above them. They appear almost suspended in the glowing air, like slow-moving islands floating through the morning color.

The overall feeling is stillness. The forest below is silent and dark, while the sky gradually fills with warmth and light. It is the kind of sunrise that spreads slowly across the Montana hills—quiet, expansive, and unhurried—marking the moment when the Helena valley begins to wake beneath the wide western sky.

Morning mist hangs softly among the trees in this ancient forest. One can feel the green of the supple moss breathing in the vapour. A beam of light promises the day to come gently caressing the sturdy yet huggable trees. Ferns and ivy, grateful for a sunbeam, thrive

Vibrant spring hyacinth bursting with joy on a slightly rainy day. Colours are predominately in pink tones with a few dots of yellow, white and purple in the background. Greenery surrounds these beauties that all sit at the base of a grassy hill. On the top of the hill a few little steps in the grass bordered by cement urns containing a variety of flowers

A hummingbird perched on a twig in front of a white house. Its body is facing toward the house, but its head and long thin beak are turned to the right. It has lovely green feathers on its back. The background is blurred out and there are some blurry twigs at the bottom.

For once, a hummingbird started high up in a tree, then landed on a branch right in front of me as soon as I got my camera ready instead of the opposite. But just for a moment.

Under brooding skies the low clouds lingered over the distant blueberries fields and bordering trees. The placid river mirrors the forefront trees as the auburn grasses wait for Spring.

Some paths begin where morning light slips through the arches.

A black and white photograph captured from a low angle on a rocky shoreline, featuring the massive stern of the cruise ship "Jewel of the Seas" docked at a pier. In the foreground, a lone figure stands on a jagged, dark rock breakwater, casting a fishing rod into the calm water. A small buoy floats nearby in the mid-ground, and a tiny pilot boat moves across the water behind the ship. The background shows a vast expanse of water leading to rolling, misty hills under a cloudy, overcast sky. The composition uses a wide-angle perspective, emphasising the scale of the ship against the individual fisherman, with a moody, high-contrast monochrome finish.

The parents in the study were interested in the toy's potential to teach language and communication skills.

However, their children frequently struggled to converse with it. Gabbo didn't hear their interruptions, talked over them, could not differentiate between child and adult voices and responded awkwardly to declarations of affection.

When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."
