Have I mentioned the baby woodchucks like the deer grain?
.

.
They really like it.

So much so .. they sit in the bowl and repel all foreign invaders.

The pickle algorithm is right. I don’t believe that’s refreshing at all.
Blech!

Are you as tired of seeing AI artwork passed off as real photography as I am?
There’s something about the quality of it that’s very telling.

I like fruit art as much as the next girl, but come on. No one is that good.
.

.
And come on…
That’s not even close to believable.

Mark – this is for you.
Please order and report back.

I dare you to beat our backyard sunrise.

Not having the technical expertise to explain it – what AI images seem to lack is depth(?) And they seem very smooth (?). Ultimately what they look like is – artificial.

Smooth. Yes…
And very noticeably fake.

AI can’t touch that sunrise. Most of the AI stuff seems to have an issue with anatomy and science–too many fingers, too many baby squirrels, too much scrolling ink on orchid leaves, LOL. In writing, it can’t manage humor or snark. And in technology, my Roomba hits the same damn doorway every day. We’re a long way from the Terminator.

Sunrise is anout 3:00 AM. Too early for pictures. Sunset is around midnight right now. If I knew how to put a photo into a comment my sunsets would take at go at it. But I posted some pics previously. I will attach the link if I can find it.

Eerily beautiful … but quite sad.

Extremely sad. But, yes, eerily is a good adjective. And with the clouds roiling angrily above, I can almost feel Nature’s wrath, “You humans did this to us!”
The cause was a cigarette some fool threw out of his car window.

That sunrise can’t be beat!!! As someone who lives where viewing complete sunrises and sunsets involve leaving home (thank you mountains and ginormous trees!), I will live vicariously through you, Rivergirl!

As much as I love those succulent cucumbers fermented in dill weed, I draw the line with cucumber slushies. It is a travesty.
