SF Pride Weekend / Pride at the Hyatt (# 1691)

Don Barrett (aka DBs travels) has posted:

Looking down to the lobby of the uniquely designed (in 1973) wedge and triangular-shaped Hyatt Regency San Francisco with the intriguing “Eclipse” sculpture. It was encouraging to see the ‘in your face’ Pride symbolism in the lobby, challenging the national administration’s increasing anti-LGBTQ agenda. Note the design on the heart is the most contemporary Progress Pride flag, which extends the meaning of the traditional Rainbow flag to empasize support for transgender and people of color.

Leaf with different colours

nobody@ipernity.com (Dinesh) — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 02:08:51 +0000

Dinesh has posted:

Leaves have double or multiple colors due to variegation (genetic differences in cell pigmentation) or seasonal changes (overlapping and breaking down of different chemical pigments). Variegation (Year-Round Two-Tone Leaves)

Most users o agree that “The leaf's two distinct colors are attributed to variegation, a phenomenon where different colored zones appear in plant leaves and stems, often due to a mutation.”

Cell differences: Some parts of the leaf lack chlorophyll (the green pigment), creating white, yellow, or light pink patches next to green areas. [1,

Genetics: It is a natural trait or genetic quirk in house plants like pothos or hostas so they have stripes, spots, or light edges.

Entry into the Underworld

Scott Holcomb has posted:

After decades of searching I have at last discovered the fabled entrance into the underworld. I feel an overwhelming urge to discover the secrets that lie in the abyss. As I write this account in my journal there is anticipation, and yes, the expectation that I may never again see the light of day. Let it be known that I have lived a full life before I take the plunge into the depths of darkness. With good fortune and provenance from above I may some day surface to tell the world of my discoveries.
With wavering courage and feelings of trepidation, I forge ahead.
