Springtime in the Orchard

Springtime in the Orchard is an image that I captured a few years ago as I was driving around after a clearing in a late spring storm rolled through the area.
The blessing of spring comes with beautiful weather, blooming orchards, and lush green grasses in the hills and valleys. Here we have an almond orchard in full bloom. See the full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/springtime-in-the-orchard-bill-gallagher.html

October 10 deadline.

California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike wants input from all 58 CA counties. Especially needed: feedback from people who bike or walk in #Fresno, #Kern, #SanBernardino, #SanJoaquin, #Solano, #Tulare, and #Ventura counties.

https://bikemonterey.org/complete-streets-in-california-survey-on-state-controlled-roads.html

"Almost every California community has a state highway that doubles as a local street. These are often the most dangerous roads, because the California Department: of Transportation / Caltrans has historically prioritized moving cars quickly over the safety of people #biking and #walking.

"CalBike is seeking input from people who use these local streets to help create a report on the safety of Caltrans-controlled #roadways. Please fill out CalBike's survey." https://form.jotform.com/CalBikeCoalition/completestreets

mk30, to ai

remember those headlines like "mystery company buys 800 acres of northern california!"

well the buyers finally put up a website and y'all...it has AI-generated art!!! they couldn't even pay an artist.

also, how about this creepy url? https://californiaforever.com/

how can i tell that the art is AI? look at the details:

pic 1: person in upper left. which way is he facing? where's his right arm? is his left arm facing backwards? also, look at the lines on the "solar panels". some are narrow, some are wide, it makes no sense.

pic 2: look at the details of the people's bodies and faces. if you're having trouble figuring out their body parts, that's because they were generated by AI & AI doesn't actually know the details.

pic 3: seems ok, until you look in the background and realize the train is coming out of a "tunnel" in a building. probably not what they had in mind.

pic 4: what exactly are those workers building? i couldn't figure it out. AI is good at giving the impression of people working on something, but if you look at what those people are actually doing, it often doesn't make sense. also, i love the yellow "ladder" on the left.
