Bitterwater Super Bloom
I like driving down California route 25, the airline highway. Lots of hills and when you are lucky some super blooms.
I think we will be lucky this year…

I found a good use for AI…
I used it to write shell scripts to make Image Magik to do my rote image processing.
In this case convert a full res tif into a 2350px jpg.
I used Claude and it has helped my workflow greatly, now I actually have an organized collection of jpg’s on my phone :)

This is at the foot of one of the few functioning waterfalls in the east bay.
