More Tulips! 🌷

Another thing I don't typically do is use filters of any kind, but I was feeling nostalgic. Photoshop's Filters were the original "AI"! I remember playing around with them in the early 2000's. Look closely, here's the oil painting filter on this field of tulips. Maybe it does have some fun uses still. Source image at the end.

It’s adorable seeing NYTimes interleave conversations with folks at the #Snohomish River, right snug along the northeast of the Seattle metro, with folks along the #Skagit, up 75km north. But I guess the distance between Boston & Providence clearly isn’t worth making clear.
