I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I've loved this painting since High School humanities class😍

A giant, full moon rises in a salmon pink sky over violet mountains. Dark green pinion and juniper trees are closer up beneath the mountains.

A full moon rising over Santa Fe, NM last evening. No tinting applied, these were the true colors🌝 #fullmoon #SantaFe

sheep watching a passerby intently

A brown/black sheep with head lowered staring at the photographer (me) with a white sheep standing behind, head up, staring at me with a piece of hay in her mouth.

I'm in the middle of reading Big Bad Wool (A sheep detective mystery) by Leonie Swann... it is hysterical, btw. And yesterday on my walk, I found a new flock of sheep.

A juvenile Great Blue Heron standing in a shallow stream and looking downwards. This is a large blue-grey wading bird with long legs and a snaky grey neck. Its face is white with a blue cap. It has bright yellow eyes and a long, pointed yellow and black bill.

Baby herons are coming out of the nest and learning about fishing!

My vote for best post of the day.
