An image of a rainbow under construction. Hundreds of tiny stick men use scaffolding, gear and cable driven machines, and brute force to assemble blocks of color. The rainbow is about halfway assembled, and there are a number of little circumstances happening throughout the image, like people falling from ledges and workers on strike
A photograph through a window of two gardens stands in a backyard. They are made of sun-faded planks and silver metal brackets. Bright green plants, about as tall as a hand and forearm are long, are growing up from the boxes. White sheets are suspended over them on rods at the corners of the garden boxes, casting shade on the plants while the sun beats down on the rest of the lawn.
About half a dozen Colorado Beetle larvae in a late stage. They are chunky, burnt-orange with black spots in a line along their sides, and have black head and limbs. They're about the size of a pea.
An insect, approx. 1.5" in length, with long legs and a wasp-like body structure. A reddish-orange band wraps around its midsection. It does not appear to sport a stinger. It looked right at me

A firey red sky, lit by the setting sun
A female stag beetle. She's shiny black, with a wing-covered abdomen as long as her thorax and head combined. She has a squat face and beady black eyes with close pincers relatively small when compared to her male counterpart. Her antennae look like they have eyelashes on the end. She's standing on a concrete slab
A bare-skinned monster with rippling muscle, red eyes, a mouth full of fangs and horns to match on its head. Three broken horns are falling away from where a much larger horn took their place, and the large horn has a fierce little face minus the nose
A little tree frog on a hand. No bigger than a nickel. It has skin like white marble with black veins running through. It's eyes are very dark and it has a splash of yellow in the crook of its thigh
Little green ovoid leaves in a tight clusters sprouting from soil
Three yellow morel mushrooms, more or less large enough altogether to fill my open hand. Solid grooved stems and crinkly caps that sort of look like natural sea sponges.

Two Bluesky comments under a post. One, posted 6 hours ago, says "teach him some physics he'll be saying space-time is a road and we're only vehicles in it so dinosaurs are real, always have and always will" The next comment, posted 10 hours ago, reads ""Well, kid, according to certain idiotic interpretations of special relativity, they are still real; just elsewhere in space-time, also we have been dead for trillions of years and its billions of years before our birth! Goodnight!"" The context is that the original poster's child was contemplating the nature of the dinosaurs' extinction, that they WERE real but are no longer.
