ESSENCE OF SPRING

 There are echoes of piano music in the other room. But we don't want to hear that.......The pianist is out of practice.

You are demanding medical updates.

The pianist is slowly getting over the flu, after coughing continuously for three weeks. He's regaining his sense of taste ( can now fully enjoy the hospital food).A biopsy was taken from that cyst on his arm....but it's not a cyst. Looks horrid but no pain whatsoever. Biopsy results next week.

What the hell. Still have back and hip pain....but not as much. I'm drugged with meds.

Life's a crap and a half.

I know you're eagerly waiting for more of my AI (artificial intelligence) images. As much as you wanted my piano music.

Jon is cutting you with bitter sarcasm. Ignore him.

I was always interested in AI but knew absolutely nothing about it. My creativity is limited and my knowledge of technology is........void.

(do I use too many dots.......?)

Most AI enthusiasts do fantastic over-the-top creations - - fantasies, futuristic, etc. I'm not into avant garde. I'm a traditionalist. I like simple, beautiful things.

I recently generated some of my visions of spring. I know this will absolutely enthrall you. 

When I signed up with Freepik (my AI generator, and it's not exactly free) I wanted to try it for a month. They charge a "modest" monthly fee.

BUT I accidentally pressed the wrong icon (no, I'm not jesting) and signed up for a year! Expensive, but now I can make lots of pictures.

It was difficult for me to come up with creative images of spring. I finally made dozens, and then it was difficult to choose favorites.

Anyway, here are some.

Persephone, the ancient Greek Goddess of Spring. I had a heckuva lot of trouble creating her. I was disatisfied with many attempts.

Another version of Persephone. I wanted a golden robe, but it looks kinda pink or peach (?).

Adonis is an ancient Greek God, but has nothing to do with spring. I chose him just because I liked.......the flowers in his hair. He's getting ready for spring.

Every time I mention the word "Medieval" I generate strange pictures. This was supposed to be a Medieval celebration of spring. It looks like a curtain call for Shakespeare's "The Twelfth Night".

Don't ask, don't tell......well, it's kinda sweet......in a Medieval way.

A group of gypsies, dancing to welcome spring. One of my favorites.

A lovely serene spring scene in the countryside.

A family of cats having a spring picnic.

It's not Easter yet, but this reminds me of my childhood.

AI often generates such beautiful people that you could fall in love with them. A sweet spring scene.

This picture of the shepherd and lamb is one of my favorites. I made several different versions.

April showers will bring May flowers.

A serene early evening, scented with the blossoms of spring.

It's no secret I love felines. Here are a couple accompanied with spring flowers.

Pollen, allergies, bee stings, incessantly screeching birds, killer tornadoes - - all the joys of spring.
