"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly."
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), Christmas Eve sermon, 1967
I photographed this metasequoia in our yard yesterday while out with our dogs. The sun was rather high so I didn't plan for any photos. But when walking around, I went behind the tree and saw its canopy aglow and had to go in and grab my camera. The dogs, however, were annoyed with the interruption of play time. #TreeTuesday#nature#NatureToot#livingfossil#metasequoia#dawnredwood#autumn#Photography#explore
Michigan autumn woodland featuring the ghostly bark of the American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) - one of the more unique trees in the area with dinner-plate sized leaves.
Apple TV should just cancel “Invasion.” Season 1 was slow. Hoping S2 would be better, but also slow. I should have bailed early on but endured the torture. Needlessly drawn out and painful script. Did I mention it was slow? They can do good, complex sci-fi, Foundation has been great. #scifi#AppleTVPlus
@grafphoto Slow is good. I think Season 2 was even better than Season 1 and I will be eagerly awaiting Season 3.
Young people seem to have the attention span of a butterfly.
I consider myself pretty darn lucky to just have seen this Blackburnian warbler let alone walk away with a few decent images. I recently put modern tools to work to slightly improve a set of images from 2005 at Magee Marsh, Ohio for this #ThrowBackThursday. Originally photographed with a Nikon D2X that could use a little ISO noise cleanup and resolution boost.
Well, my site theme provider (#Divi) just jumped on the AI bandwagon. No opt-out, typical tech-bro talk of “this is so cool” and “it will learn from your content.” Big red flags, little clarification in the TOS. Very tone deaf to everything going on with creatives right now. 😠 Seems like it is happening everywhere.
A real sh*tstorm has been happening over my theme provider’s implementation of AI. As expected,many liking, others protesting. I’ve been avoiding the update, but it is only a matter of time before there is a bug fix or compatibility issue that forces my hand. But I also expect the owner’s response will be a familiar one for the foreseeable future across all AI-crazed applications. Implement or be left behind.
@grafphoto shoving "#AI" into everything regardless of whether or not it is even remotely useful is like shoving "#Blockchain" (regardless if #Bitcoin :bitcoin: or #Ethereum :ethereum: ) into everything:
