War season pollen.
Not transgression; it just flows
across space, they say.

That is a storm I don’t want to see in person, but maybe from orbit. 😳

To wit, a Gemini/2.5 Flash image generated by a single prompt based on your #ScifaikuSaturday poem. 😱

A Gemini/2.5 Flash generated, photorealistic image of an old man staring up into the Earth’s sky at the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, as a debris-filled storm rages around the old man. No copyright implied or explicitly stated. For illustrative purposes only.

I’m saddened for your loss and Dusty’s passing from this realm. 😓

I feel Dusty’s essence traveling through dimensions we humans can only imagine, but cats can maneuver with ease.

Fly on, Dusty!

(I still miss my three cats I had when I was growing up. They were amazing acrobats.)
