This looks like selective coloring, but it's not. Just the gardens moving into their Fall palettes. :)
I remember years ago going to a new car launch (I think it was the Holden Rodeo, not sure though) and being told by the product trainer that the car had a 'prindle' indicator.
Someone asked what on earth a 'prindle' indicator, and he explained that it was the display on the dashboard that told you if whether you were in Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive or Low! I've used the term ever since, and got a few strange looks because of it!

Joshua trees, an indicator species of the Mojave Desert ecosystem, seem to thrive in areas which receive occasional snow. This snowstorm blocked the view of the surrounding hills.
What is the easiest way to tell if you are in microgravity? See if anything floats! Both on the Soyuz spacecraft took me to space the first time, and the Crew Dragon flight from two weeks ago employ the same tactic to show us when we have reached microgravity: a fluffy toy on a string. Each time the crew chooses their own and as Crew-2 we used this penguin that what chosen by the families of Aki and Megan. When we see it float we know there is no more acceleration from the rocket pushing us into the sky and that we are in free-fall around Earth. Once we reach the International Space Station it is our friendly decoration and mascot 😊
On a repéré notre indicateur de microgravité ! Le pingouin choisi par les fils d’Aki et Megan a fait une apparition l'autre jour, alors que Shane et Megan, dans leurs beaux polos bleus, parlaient en direct sur NASA TV. Pour rappel, il nous sert à déterminer l’arrivée en orbite : une fois qu’il flotte dans la capsule, ça veut dire qu’il n’y a plus d’accélération (de la fusée), on est donc en chute lire autour de la Terre… c’est l’impesanteur. Une fois dans l’ISS, il nous sert juste à décorer 😉

Many years ago I built a box housing switches, indicator LEDs, and a variable speed clocking trigger that I could use to make and test TTL logic circuits for a college class (see last Monday's photo of the breadboard to which this would be connected).
This is a row of indicator lights from that box. The row is approximately 3"/75mm from end-to-end but the width of the photo at the subject (in focus) LED is about half that.

There are some strange goings on along this stretch of coast. These posts seem to have something to do with Anvil Point lighthouse but I couldn't tell you what their purpose is.
The modern flashing turn signal was patented in 1938 and later most major automobile manufacturers offered this feature.
Lem Kadiddlehopping bought his dream place on the Puget Sound. Everything he wanted. A view, easy access to the water, four seasons. After the sale, Lem's realtor gave Lem a phone number and told him to call the number when his boathouse was under water. Turns out, the boathouse is part of the Washington State Tsunami Warning System.

The electrical indicator shows whether the semaphore arm has dropped in its place properly when operated.

Lichens are often used as biological indicators of the overall air quality. Viewing the wide variety of lichen on this rock surface, I have confidence that all is not doom and gloom for the Earth.

Always a good indicator that Spring migrants are arriving into the U.K.
This male was faithful to his chosen perch despite the cold, damp weather...
Don't usually see witch hazel this far along for another two or three weeks at least. Changing times...
The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called fish eagle, sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Four subspecies are usually recognized, one of which has recently been given full species status (see below). Despite its propensity to nest near water, the osprey is not classed as a sea eagle.
The osprey is 0.9–2.1 kg (2.0–4.6 lb) in weight and 50–66 cm (20–26 in) in length with a 127–180 cm (50–71 in) wingspan. It is, thus, of similar size to the largest members of the Buteo or Falco genera.
The subspecies are fairly close in size, with the nominate subspecies averaging 1.53 kg (3.4 lb), P. h. carolinensis averaging 1.7 kg (3.7 lb) and P. h. cristatus averaging 1.25 kg (2.8 lb). The wing chord measures 38 to 52 cm (15 to 20 in), the tail measures 16.5 to 24 cm (6.5 to 9.4 in) and the tarsus is 5.2–6.6 cm (2.0–2.6 in).
The upperparts are a deep, glossy brown, while the breast is white and sometimes streaked with brown, and the underparts are pure white. The head is white with a dark mask across the eyes, reaching to the sides of the neck. The irises of the eyes are golden to brown, and the transparent nictitating membrane is pale blue. The bill is black, with a blue cere, and the feet are white with black talons. A short tail and long, narrow wings with four long, finger-like feathers, and a shorter fifth, give it a very distinctive appearance.
The sexes appear fairly similar, but the adult male can be distinguished from the female by its slimmer body and narrower wings. The breast band of the male is also weaker than that of the female, or is non-existent, and the underwing coverts of the male are more uniformly pale. It is straightforward to determine the sex in a breeding pair, but harder with individual birds.
The juvenile osprey may be identified by buff fringes to the plumage of the upperparts, a buff tone to the underparts, and streaked feathers on the head. During spring, barring on the underwings and flight feathers is a better indicator of a young bird, due to wear on the upperparts.
In flight, the osprey has arched wings and drooping "hands", giving it a gull-like appearance. The call is a series of sharp whistles, described as cheep, cheep or yewk, yewk. If disturbed by activity near the nest, the call is a frenzied cheereek!

Production of the new 200, 200D and 230 models commenced in July, 1965, replacing the W110 190c and 190d. The engine in the 200 had the bore increased from 85 to 87 mm, giving a 1988 cc displacement, and was fitted with twin carburetors. Visually, the second series models had the front indicators relocated from the top of the front fenders to below the headlights. At the rear, the tail lights were enlarged and squared off and the chrome trim was revised (including the removal of the chrome trim from the trailing edge of the tailfins). All models now featured air outlets with chrome trim on the C-pillars (identical to the W111 models). Inside, there were very few changes except all models now featured reclining front seats (excluding the bench seats) this had been previously an option on the 190c and 190Dc, and the 230 had a central armrest in the back seat as standard.
