I saw about a dozen ads, and not a single photo of the trees and the bloom. Bravo.

Odd. I run noscript, so no javascript was running. I use ublock as well. I saw a number of photos. What's your setup?

On the other hand, the random bold lines makes it seem AI generated. Dunno.

Invest in an ad blocker.

It seems to be blogspam from the Spain-based Actualidad Blog network.

IA has a capture of the site[0]; the first and only photo in the archived version of TFA appears to be a cropped version of one sourced to AP ([1] photo 2 in the carousel), and it is entirely uncredited in TFA.

Other reporting I dug up reference the AP and also Reuters as sources for the story.
