Post A Photo, A Real Photo

A tree in my friend's front yard has these things hanging down. I used to know what this type of tree was called but I forget now.

Rare in my area but a previous owner had a nursery with a lot of variety. Nasty trees for french drains.

We planted three of them in a big area we had at our school. They were neat looking trees.

 

[Peanut]

Dad set them out behind the shop years ago. They look amazing in bloom...

Around here they are known as Catawba trees. The worms that live on them are well known as great fish bait. When i was a kid everyone knew who fished... they all had Catawba trees in their yard!

Funny, these don't bloom every year for some odd reason... but when they do!!!

Just realized... at the base of the big tree is a clump off wild asparagus, it's grown there for years.

 

[Bacpacker]

Catawba worms are great fish bait. I've got one up in the field

 

[zannej]

OH! Catawba trees! I used to think people were saying Ketobler trees. We used to have one in the front yard but it fell over during a hurricane. I remember those worms. Used them for bait when fishing a few times. Haven't seen those worms since that tree died. Box turtles loved to eat the catawba grubs.

How are the trees bad for French drains? The roots?

We moved the baker's rack over, which allowed Itsy to get up on this shelf where cats aren't supposed to go. She's already knocked down a few things.

Bethesda likes to jump to the top of my door from the nearby shelves and she sleeps up there.

That's a wonderful picture. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you. I mean, you’re welcome. It is a favorite of mine. I have a print of it and one of my kids has one.
Keeps it real when you hang reminders on your walls of what is important to you.

It is AI



Rainbows appear when the sun is at our back. That image had the sun to the left.

That MFer is NOT real.

Rainbows appear when the sun is at our back. That image had the sun to the left.

And their radius and/or center does not vary as in the top arc. If the rainbow continued all the way around, it would make a perfect circle. A round circle that is, not an irregular one like in the picture.

When you have a multiple rainbow, the arcs appear very nearly concentric (slight distortions can appear though, I believe). The two arcs in the picture are nowhere near concentric.

And any clouds you see always appear to be behind the rainbow. The lower arc looks like is going behind and being blocked by the tornado.

There you go with your science and logic, you're supposed to just stand there with yer mouth open and say wow!
The majority of what we see in the near future will be AI generated.
...like if this was real :

Yes but...

You shouldn't have to be a da__ physicist to be able to tell if something is real or not!

What if AI is real, and what we think is real isn't? Welcome to the matrix my friend. Welcome to the matrix.

We should understand what we are facing.
With CGI starting years ago, we had wonderful fake pictures.
Today with AI, we will have wonderful fake videos.
Back in the old days they said: "only believe what you see".
That will soon no longer be true...

Powered by our proprietary AI technology and OpenAI, you can now embrace the new way of AI video creation to save both time and money.

Early and crude, but the blue-hair people will gobble it up.

Real:
DW's relatives in Mathews, LA had a yard-visitor today...

The bricks at the bottom of the pic are the front driveway.

Also, in a true double rainbow the colors will be in the opposite order in one, as in the top color of the bottom rainbow is red then the top color of the top rainbow will be blue/violet.

The more you know.

Looks like here, only we're flatter.

I read an article in Physic Today that a grad student proved that Kansas was flatter than a pancake. If you scaled up a pancake to the size of Kansas.

In Liberal, Ks, there's an annual event on Pancake Avenue. They have a rolling pancake competition.

My new microwave in place (Yeah, I need to clean the counter better but want to have running water again so I can clean properly). Also need to check and see if the air fryer is still under warranty and get it replaced if it is. Even if it isn't, still need an air fryer.

I don't normally take pics of myself and don't like posting them, but I like my new haircut.

I couldn't get a picture of the back by myself.
