Stacked
On a trip through Glacier National Park, we ran across a stack of small thin rocks that someone had made near one of the visitors’ centers:
Maybe it was built on a lark by one person, maybe it was the product of many individuals as they passed through. Just the same, it was a nice bit of whimsy to find in the middle of a long road trip…

Lavender and green
Seen at the Yampa River Botanic Park in Steamboat Springs, Colorado:

I have to suspect that authorities in China are being very careful w.r.t. how they handle news of the events in Cairo.
Update: turns out, they are…

I saw this at the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail Interpretive Center; Great Falls, Montana:
It’s a really good museum, and the grounds have been turned into a beautiful display of native flowers. Well worth a look, if you should find yourself in the neighborhood.
