HODGEPODGE MAY 21

 1. What do you make more complicated than it needs to be?

Nothing at all, I always try to take the easiest option, which usually works. I'm not for complications.

2. What impresses you? 

That's a difficult question, I have to think it over, I am not easily impressed. 

3. On a scale of 1-10 how picky of an eater are you?  (1=extremely and 10=not at all) If you had to eat a meal made entirely of one color what color would you choose? 

If I were a picky eater, I wouldn't try everything I don't know, except roasted worms or insects. Otherwise, I'm more of a curious eater, i think I earn a 10. As I love the color red I would try to find something red.

4. What does balance in life mean to you? Does your life currently feel 'balanced'? 

As I had to start a new life because of the death of my man, I am not yet feeling balanced ! 

5. If you could travel the world for a year what would be your first destination? 

The closest airport and then to Finland to see the Northern Lights, which I haven't seen yet.

 

 As I have already traveled a lot I think from there I will see.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

For the moment I have nothing else in my head then to improve old pictures from the 60 + and color them,  

and then I found photos from our first trip to the USA which was in 1971 and I guess these were the Rocky Mountains. 

I dared to try out the famous AI, without knowing anything and just typed "change the background to the Rocky Mountains". And this was the result :

 

So I am a little proud ! My son was surprised that his 83 old mother went into his footsteps. Of course he is professional and thousand times better.  

 

And here I only downloaded a photo and wrote what I wanted to change ! It's really amazing what you can do and il looks so real !

 

 

 

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

Some time ago there was a man who presented his Falcon to the residents of Waterloo in the city center. It was amazing how this bird behaved with his owner, almost like a pet ! It was very interesting to see what The Falcon was able to do !  

Falcons are a fascinating group of raptors, each with its own unique set of behaviors and hunting techniques. From their exceptional speed to their sharp vision, these birds have evolved to thrive in various environments across the globe. While they share some common traits, each species has adapted in its own way to the world around them.

WEEKEND 

Now we are mid May and it rather seems to be beginning winter, after having had the taste of summer in April ! 

Therefore I continued to amuse myself with the AI, so I could rest my OI (Own intelligence) I digged out old black and white pictures and  started. I only interrupted my work, when we started our activities. This time it was a real difficult. We should be able to identify which country is being referred to if, for example, someone says "boot" and it refers to Italy. Or the land of dragons, which I think was Thailand (I'm not entirely sure anymore!). It was amazing how many questions were answered! After coffee, I returned to my artificial intelligence.

And here are some results of pictures from black and white to color

 

Here I am with the dancers of Maurice Bejart and celebrating Carnival with friends in Bonn/Germany when I was 18.

Civil marriage and marriage in 1969 with my parents on the photo.

This I learned quite quickly. But then I tried out to make a picture only with AI, just by writing blue sea, blue sky and sunset and this was the result !

I think for a beginner it is not too bad. Sunday was the same, only we played ping pong, I didn't play, I have never played a lot and it was also not my day. So I had coffee with the others and then I returned to my room and continued with my old pictures.
