John of Journeys with Johnbo (brave soul!) put this challenge out for us this week. I hope he has received kudos for asking us to stretch beyond our comfort zones. The photo below is the one I selected to see if I could add something to the foreground using AI. This is as far as I got, because my operating system is too old to add photoshop, and I am not going to jump into upgrading everything in one week – so I admit I’m taking a pirouette on this one!
Below is a scene that occurs often in spring when blackbirds pair-up and claim a territory, then other birds, like this crow, flap right down in the middle of it!
This Salmonberry blossom (Rubus spectabilis) is a dainty delight in the damp woodland forest. Its berries are edible and look very much like salmon eggs in color and texture.
Goldfinch are bright and beautiful set against a dazzling blue sky. If you have an open area in your yard, where you can put up a cylinder seed-feeder filled with sunflower chips, American and Lesser Goldfinch will find you!
Sunsets are different every time – even when snapped from the same vantage point. This one is from a month ago, when the clouds and rainstorms were frequently upon us.

Lindy, these are beautiful photos. I’m glad you joined in the fun with your photos and creations.
Thank you, Egídio. I just can’t let a week go by without sharing something!
Lindy, your bird photos prompted me to mention that a friend of mine has enticed me to get involved with birding. I don’t know how far that’s going to go for me, but I’m going to give it a try.
Thanks for sharing your comments and images.
Cornell Lab of Ornithology is an excellent source to learn about birds. I hope you enjoy this new venture!
Thanks, Lindy! I’ll check it out.
Hmm. Inscrutable. 🤔 😉
AI is “complicated”, but whether I like it or not, it is here!
Great box of treasures Lindy 🙂 AI is the way of the future.. Hopefully humanity will apply the same advice you give for walking real life to the many known and unforeseeable trails we will all walk in the world of AI “On your walk with life, please honor our earth, encourage dignity and share kindness.”
Much Love
