It seems that I am not the only  person/ thing to have a vivid imagination in this house. Last night Hugo got me up for a wee and something spooked him in the top corner of our yard. It didn’t move when he gave it a good telling off. I took a picture in the gloom of midnight using the night settings and there was nothing remotely frightening to be seen.

Of course I was wide awake at this point and decided to write a newsletter and get some admin done, which thankfully had me off to sleep again in less than an hour.

For no particular reason, when I reviewed the photograph this morning,. I asked the randomised AI feature on my phone to reproduce the image. The randomised AI image trawls through my recent photographs and looks at the post-production tools I have used to edit them. It comes up with four suggestions. The hit rate of success is delightfully low for use as a stand alone editing tool but interesting results can happen and be useful in a much larger creative project.

Yesterday I was at an art exhibition, struggling to take good photos in a beautiful but awkwardly lit gallery. A subject for the next blog. All those photos of paintings gave my yard aspirations!

With the sea five minutes away I never have a fantasy of a plunge pool in my yard but clearly the yard has its own dreams and aspirations.
