New Images #17 – Blackberries

I’ve been enjoying recently some exceptionally juicy and tasty blackberries – No doubt. imported from South America (Mexico is the world’s largest producer of blackberries); it’s just barely spring here in the Northeast.

New Images #16: Exploration of Artistic Styles

Artists Roses Those who are uncomfortable with – or even opposed to – AI Imaging might turn away from this post.
