An overhead aerial photo from Google maps of a harbor with three boats moored in the harbor. Due to the process of mosaicking multiple passes of aerial image collection while the boats can pivot on their moorings between pthotos, the boats appear slightly askew as ghostly overlapping doubles of themselves.
Two fire trucks sitting in front of the Sheraton hotel while people mill around in the parking lot.
A presentation slide with two graphics on it. The slide is titled longitudinal temperature profile. The first graphic shows a stream bed flowing from top to bottom, mostly in shades of yellow, except an area on the right edge with darker reds and blues representing colder waters. The second graphic shows a stream bed, mostly in red with several small dark dots circled in blue representing locations of spring water entering the river channel. An artificial centerline has been added, showing average temperatures at intervals along the line.

Cute puppy winking one eye and pointing at the camera with one paw. Text says “You’ve got this”

Grey cat laying on my arm as I try to use a mouse. One eye is open just enough to convey a look of disgust. Not noticeable due to the fur, but the murder mitten draped across the arm is just pointy enough to remind me she’s the boss.
