Painful irony w/Helene's colossal damage in Asheville: the city recently placed #3 on a list of US cities most likely to experience "climate migration". Asheville summers are cool by Southeastern standards, and annual avg precip (~36") is low for the region. www.citizen-times.com/story/news/l...

Asheville ranks on list of cities most likely to see impact of 'climate migration'

Migration due to climate change may land Asheville a lot of new residents in coming years according to a sustainable real estate expert.

Hi friends 😁💙 Yay! It’s Saturday! What wild skies there were this morning! No sunrise, because of a monster cloud but definitely some crazy activity 😃 Have a wonderful day! Pick one if you’d like to. #sunrise#sunrisephotography#NikonD750shonnahawkins.smugmug.com

Beautiful sunset from behind the barn. I doubt the coho-stuffed seals sleeping on the log at the other side of the river in image#4 even noticed.

A long wedge of clouds is tinted coral and pink, with a teal base. The clouds are reflected on a broad river fringed by trees.
Clouds are tinted deep orange coral as sunset deepens over a river. A ring of dark trees shadows the river.
Brilliant coral cloud wisps are illuminated at sunset, as the background deepens to light indigo.
As the sun begins to set, an orange-pink glow warms trees and reflects on the surface of a slow-moving river. Two coho-stuffed harbor seals rest on a log along the river bank.

Very pretty sunset tonight. i can remember when i used to be able to see past that big Douglas maple. it was pretty small when i first moved here.

Sunset with tight rows of puffy grey altocumulus clouds lit up pink from below, against the yellow afterglow of the sun. the dark silhouette of my large backyard maple tree & part of my back porch obstructs the view of the rest of the sky. what looks like two bell-shaped lamps in the upper right corner is a reflection of my kitchen ceiling fan light fixture.

This banh mi is from Thi Thi in Calgary, my home town. I used to eat this sandwich for lunch every single day, and it might possibly be my favourite sandwich of all time.

It’s a “super chicken and beef” banh mi (Vietnamese sub). It’s got chicken, beef, cilantro, pickled carrots, pickled white onions, cucumber, red chilis, pate, and what I’m pretty sure is kewpie mayo, toasted on a fresh bun.
