Persimmons ripen in the side yard, drawing a murder overhead and a scurry through the branches. The competition is fierce.
Persimmons ripen in the side yard of a Berkeley, California home, their orange fruit standing out against bare branches. The scene hints at activity: a murder of crows overhead and a scurry of squirrels darting through the branches, drawn by the tempting harvest.

The Voudokitroen (Buddha Hand Citroen) is complete! These crafted bottles are ready for elegant Christmas gift sets. This batch features a unique blend of Buddha Hand leaves, jasmine flowers, persimmon skin, nettles, and a few secret touches.
Three beautifully crafted bottles of Voudokitroen (Buddha Hand Citroen) sit on a windowsill, glowing softly in the natural light. The clear glass bottles, adorned with a subtle dotted texture, contain a golden-hued liquid made from a unique blend of Buddha Hand leaves, jasmine flowers, persimmon skin, nettles, and secret ingredients. Behind the bottles, the blurred view of trees and overcast sky adds a serene, seasonal touch.

This is a real thing! :-)
A green highway sign with three arrows pointing in different directions looms over a multi-lane highway. The sign displays the following text: “Stay Kazoo Lessons,” “Stay the Course,” and “Free Kazoo Lessons,” with each phrase corresponding to a different arrow direction. The background shows a clear sky and a forested area along the road. Below, a green car is depicted mid-turn, leaving prominent tire marks as it swerves sharply, seemingly trying to decide which direction to take. The road has multiple lanes that curve off into different exits. Below the image, text reads: “The interesting thing is, I think I know exactly where that intersection is,” written in a playful, casual font. The overall tone of the image suggests humor and indecision.

The root of Hoax is Hocus Pocus.
A political cartoon styled like a vintage magic show poster depicts a magician on a checkered stage performing “Trump’s Vanishing Elephant” trick. The fading elephant, representing the Republican Party, is shown disappearing in a smoky cloud above the magician. Ornate decorations, including winged creatures and trumpets, frame the scene. The text “HOCUS POCUS” is vertically displayed on either side, and “Republican” is prominently at the top. Two “VOTE” campaign-style buttons are at the bottom corners.

The evolution of social media.
Cartoon-style image featuring two characters standing between two black shapes. The abyss on the left contains Instagram and Facebook logos, while the void on the right has the Twitter logo. Caption reads: “Sure, the abyss is great for staring into. But if screaming is your thing, you’ll want to go with the void.

Through the Rifts
1930s-style political theatre poster blended with 2024 U.S. themes. Features a dark-clad authoritarian figure amid broken promises and polarized symbols, facing a wary yet resilient diverse public surrounded by activism symbols. Vintage meets modern imagery with an ominous, hopeful tone.

Dandelion Infusion: Backyard dandelions—about a dozen blooms—steeped in 192-proof alcohol for under 12 hours, stripping all color and flavor. The glass, a gift from my friend Dawn Hawk, who joined us for our first Amaro party. Captured in Berkeley sunlight on late fall dandelions.

When I was young, every Christmas, “The Thief of Baghdad” aired on TV. I was enthralled by its special effects, monsters, and the quest for the Blue Rose. These photos remind me of that—only now they are Blue Dandelions. What began as an AI prompt now leads along an unintended path.
