Here stood my dreaming tree

Standing here the old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit for hours at a time
Now progress takes away what forever took to find
And now he's falling hard, he feels the falling dark
How he longs to be beneath his dreaming tree

More trees that caught my eye.

By the by, all of these are JPEGs straight out of the camera.

Sunday January 14th-The Reader: In the wrong place at the right time-”AIs” seemed like magic last year until everyone realized much of the output was nonsense. Then the press was jammed with stories about AIs lying. Which was nonsense. AIs were actually showing how much of online data is garbage; base them on a foundation of good data, and they would be quite useful. Integrate AIs — Large Language Models - with your curated data, and you can supercharge your analytics.
