"High Key Dandelion"
3 billion and 1st!
And I can't promise it will be the last one. I do like me some weed.

"Weed Explosion"
I know. The title is click-baity, I'm delivering the 3 billionth picture you've seen of a dandelion, and my self-awareness is probably small consolation. But it's a slow day and I'm still organizing my files so it is what it is.

BlueSky is where you come to block "The Left" for being just as stupid and dishonest as MAGA.

Matthew 21:31-32
Sure. Leave it to the atheist to use the bible to point out how stupid this is. It's not news. It's time wasted that could have been used to report on and investigate real issues. Nevermind all the "people of faith" with actual criminal records currently in power.

With respect to @theverge.com, @reckless.bsky.social & @davidpierce.xyz, the only panel of experts qualified to "certify" AGI would be Yahweh, Allah, Brahman, Amaterasu and maybe Siddhartha Gautama to round out the five.
Although swapping out any of those for Randy Jackson would also be acceptable.

So this was a Gorilla Tag thing. Super basic quality Meta Quest avatars. The bar was super low. The irony is that it would have taken so much longer to match the original with pixelated textures and whatnot.
Foam clay is fun and all, but I think I might get a 3D printer for next Halloween.

That mask took me a week to make. Clay foam and paint for a higher resolution take on the "real thing."
Anyone familiar?

"Bubbling"
"The Forest"
"The Trees"
Playing with slow-ish exposures and camera movement for some impressionistic results. If you squint, you can almost see the scene. If you look close, you see random streaks and lines.
At least it's not AI.

"Summer Under the Bridge"
Technically it was more like a drainage tunnel, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
This is about as close to "street photography" as I get. Tend to prefer avoiding people. But it's the kids that made this one interesting [to me].

"Leaf Ripples"
Not exactly what I was going for when I took this hand-held, long-ish exposure, but I like the vibe anyway. Particularly the reflection lines. It's simple. Like me.
(And I've got a few other experimental things I'll be sharing soon.)

About the dumbest post I've ever seen from the Department of Education (now blocked along with the rest of the propaganda accounts).
Hey look! Your head has been under water for 30 seconds and yet your heart is still beating and your arms are still flailing. It's almost like you don't need air, eh?

"Heavy"
Working fast is not my forte. That's where I find Inktober (or any daily prompt thing) helpful. I could noodle on something for days. That said, it also forces me to try to accept imperfections. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. I guess.
