Photo: Aaron Damiani Reader Aaron Damiani of Chicago sends this pic from Fort Smith, a small community in southern Montana, about 90 miles southeast of Billings: "I snapped this photo this weekend to share with my wife and kids the beauty of the Montana skies in Fort Smith, right as the sun was setting.

🌊 Photo du jour

Photo: Caroline Brehman/AFP via Getty Images Crews placed boulders along the coast to prevent further erosion and protect the road from collapsing into the ocean at Westward Beach Road in Malibu, Calif., yesterday. Coastal erosion from waves, storms and rising sea levels is accelerating the loss of Southern California's beaches and cliffs, threatening homes, roads and wildlife along the coast.

📷 Pic du jour

Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) shows the media a coin he handed to President Trump while greeting him on the tarmac in Fort Myers, Fla., yesterday after Air Force One landed for a midterm rally. "YOU MISSED BITCHES," the golden coin says, rendering Trump with a raised middle finger. Someone give the governor a comma for Christmas.

🍁 Parting shot: Pull up a chair

Photo: Craig Woodward We also endorse taking a seat. Reader Craig Woodward captured this lucky, un-staged shot along a river in northern Alabama. 🍂 "The word 'vista' usually has a connotation of broad sweeping views ... but it's what popped into my head to describe this quiet fall scene," Craig writes. "A more intimate definition of vista that invites one to walk into the picture."

🏕️ Parting shot!

Photo: Bill Rapai This photo of mule deer at Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park in Washington was taken by reader Bill Rapai of Grosse Pointe, Mich., a couple weeks ago. He writes: "That's the Olympic Mountain Range in the background. We had just completed hiking one trail when these guys showed up near the parking lot. I followed them for a while, keeping a respectful distance, to get an image where the background was not full of cars and asphalt. I got my chance when they headed up this incline and fell into single file — just for me!"

📸 Pic to go: Sign of the times

Photo: Luiz Rampelotto/EuropaNewswire via Reuters Thousands of friends, family and spectators lined the course of yesterday's New York City Marathon to cheer on the approximately 60,000 runners from more than 140 countries. It's one of the best days of the year in the Big Apple, with huge crowds supporting those undertaking the 26.2-mile gauntlet from Staten Island to Central Park via Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. 🍿 One popular sign this year: Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes promising the finish line is near and asking, "Why would I deceive you?" — a reference to the smash hit documentary, "You Can See Everything." More photos and video.
