This looks so completely staged, it’s kind of creepy. So creepy, I’m betting it’s AI, even though it’s better done than most.
We all know it must be getting better, and that one day soon, we won’t know what’s real and what isn’t, so this is just probably another step along that path.
Besides the people artfully scattered about, unrealistically standing outside their vehicles…. you can’t see any car logos, there’s a weird sign that says “drivers”…
And look at the fellow just left of the center, that AI has put somehow leaning on the wrong car, because the perspective makes it look tall enough, when the one actually next to him is too low.
That’s the kind of thing I hope will always trip it up… a lack of.human judgement.
Farrell played Vern Albright, Margie’s widowed father, but he pronounced her name “Maahh-jee.” And Willie Best did a Stepin Fetchit imitation as, I believe, the elevator operator in their apartment building.
They’re called red sprites, a TLE, or transient luminous effect, appearing after a storm in Oklahoma.
Red sprites are one of several types of TLEs that scientists are still trying to explain… I’d know more, but that’s when National Geographic told me to sign up or go away.
We had this photo once before, quite a while ago.
I searched it, found out all about it, and posted the information.
I remember that she’s a model. I think it’s part of a fashion shoot, maybe for Vogue… but searching tonight, none of that comes up…. and I have no idea when I posted it before.
The only thing that I can find tonight is that the photographer was Gleeson Paulino, from Brazil.
It is the car. My guess is that the low idle sounds similar to a lion’s growl. While I doubt a single lion would take on a rhino, the rhino would expect more lions to be nearby, which is why it left.
Nighthawks, I hope you (and everybody else!) don’t mind my re-posting this…
You posted this puzzle, without the caption, about a week ago, maybe a bit less, on a day when we had a lot of trouble with WordPress, and I think the site was down part of the time.
I added “Find the Panda” … But by then it was kind of late, and it seemed like very few people actually came back and tried it.
It’s such a cute puzzle… So I wanted to give everybody another chance to Find the Panda!
I think I’ve commented here about them before…I believe we get this kind too, but mostly we see very plain, dull greyish brown California towhees, with only a faded touch of that rusty brown color.
Lots used to come to my mother-in-law’s feeder, but we rarely saw them on the perches, or in trees.
They stayed on the ground, especially if any other birds were around, and cleaned up the dropped or rejected seeds below, apparently finding things that were missed by hastier birds knocking them out of the way.

Too cute!
Adorable!

You’re right I see it…. Both those guys in the middle are leaning awkwardly on cars and the driver doesn’t see mine.

I was a bit young for that one, but we always watched her next show, “Oh Susannah!”
It was set on a cruise ship, and had Zazu Pitts as her friend, a manicurist.

This one doesn’t hold still for a moment.
That’s for sure!
To me, it has a pulse...

LOL…. I dunno whether the white poodle is the jealous “wife”, the jealous rival, or Mommy just trying to teach her pup some manners…
But what’s loud and clear is, “You get your tongue back in this basket right this minute!”

We loved the animated TV commercials…
That little boy always said “I want my Maypo!” in the cutest voice, that I tried to imitate for years.
During Captain Kangaroo or was it Mighty Mouse ?
Because I remember the commercials, and I remember Captain Kangaroo in the early 1960’s, I’m going to go with Captain Kangaroo as the source.
I don’t remember it being limited to one program…. though of course, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t.

Good eats if you cook it up with some olive oil or butter and garlic.
I hope that’s just a break in the edge, and not some teeny creature I can’t quite see.

I’m going to go …
That’s what I got.
Take away it’s credit card!
Oooold joke, but always funny.
Just what is it that’s stopping him?
I can’t tell what’s making the noises.
Whatever it is, even though it apparently worked, I really don’t think I’d just sit there in my car, waiting for him to try again.
It sounds like the starting of an engine to me, albeit more like a lawnmower than a car.
Yeah…. maybe an engine, but it sounds too weak to be a car.
Almost more like an electric motor turning something that makes inadvertent noise, like fan blades hitting the casing.
If it’s really a combustion engine, a small one.
Who knows, though… I’m no expert. I suppose it could be a quiet car.
It is the car. My guess is that the low idle sounds similar to a lion’s growl. While I doubt a single lion would take on a rhino, the rhino would expect more lions to be nearby, which is why it left.

I’m guessing that what appears to be its “eyes” are actually sensors of some kind (heat?) as the actual eyes are outside of the frame of the picture.
Yes, this is only the lower, central portion of its face, carefully cropped and lighted to make it look menacing.
Its eyes are big, flat, ovals, higher up and far to the sides.
And those orange “teeth” are actually little hairs called cetae.
I doubt that “nose” is a nose as we know it… but who “nose”?
Steve… Where are you?

I see it.
It’s one of those: once you see it you can’t UNsee it
No point in hiding her identity, she has it printed on the side of the bike trailer.
Spotted Towhee.
Obviously, it’s spotted. Someone took its picture.
