OCTOBER DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES



My imagination and creativity are waning. My mind (or what's left of it) is muddled and seems to block innovative new ideas. Instead, I'm rehashing old and stale ideas. How much can I create about autumn and October?

But then, how much can you create about autumn and October? Not as easy as it sounds.

Those who dislike AI (artificial intelligence) and sneer at it's "fakeness" probably would be reluctant to use whatever imagination they might have. Perhaps they fear an imaginative letdown. Or feel that their time is being wasted. Wasted time is easy to do besides AI - - the possibilities are endless.

I don't think messing with AI is a waste of time. It's an appealing diversion when you're trapped in a hospital bed.

And, despite my negative aspects, I think my imagination still works. Some reasonable results. No need to taint them with negative analyzation.

My recent October Dreams and Nightmares.


The Princess of Autumn


An autumnal pastoral scene, the shepherd boy serenading the sheep.


Midnight snack for rodents


The phantom bride - -
Is she returning for love or revenge?


The witches' house
I kinda like this house....could fix it up and live there.


The Witch
On her way......to where?


The Devil's Ball
A vintage Halloween party

("At the Devil's Ball" is a song composed by Irving Berlin in 1912)


Night Rider
It's coming your way!


Trick or Treat


Candied Apples
Better stay safely at home to eat your treats.


Duet with violin and mandolin in the autumn moonlight.


A lovely yawning October morning


....and the duets continue....
playing Tchaikovsky's Valse Sentimentale.
It doesn't interest you? Music soothes the soul....and inspires.....


That's the old abandoned house where it's rumored the ax murderer hides.

Are you getting bored? Heck, I'm never bored. I'm my own best friend. If you're not.....you gotta problem.


I've made a series of these feline/pumpkin pictures. Oh, you can guess how much the cat weighs (sarcasm). I'll guess how much that pumpkin weighs.


The Widowed Bride
I was saving this pic. for an entirely different post....but I think it's sort of Halloweeny.
Why widowed? Does she have grief, remorse, guilt?
Hmmmm.......


For the grande finale
Another cat! Sorry, but I'm a cat lover. They look more realistic than I do.
The End??

I had a fever for the past three days.

I've broken all rules. I've ordered real food from the local Walmart deli. Spent a lot for delivery - - which will come between 1:00 and 3:00
 To hell with dinner here. I want to eat something besides cornbread and fake mashed potatoes.
I bought some deli sandwiches, lobster bisque soup, several giant burritos, and freshly made salsa....
strawberry lemonade, dried fruit and nuts...and a big bag of chocolate candy.
Don't give a flying sh - - crap what anyone thinks.

Well, you can breathe a sigh of relief that my picture exhibition is over

Jon, sarcastically yours ๐ŸŽƒ

    1. I know which one you're talking about, Lisa. I'm sorry that it brings painful memories ❤️

  3. Go ahead and order whatever the hell you want Jon, no mincing words here. What you have been going through on a daily basis is more nightmarish than any AI images.

    1. I finally got some REAL food, instead of the disgusting stuff they serve here. It was worth the money.

  4. I'm so taken by your AI images, Jon! The trick-or-treat children certainly remind me of Norman Rockwell. Sadly, what passes for Halloween these days is a sad reflection on the joy I felt "back in the day."
    I hope your Wal-Mart order arrived in good time and you enjoyed every stinkin' bite! Way to go!

    1. Halloween nowadays is nothing like it was long ago. I love the vintage, old fashioned stuff. Those kids eating candy apples look like a scene from Norman Rockwell
      The food arrived on time and I'm enjoying it!

  5. I love all the pics, especially the haunted house and all the cat pics. They're all a joy to see. Yay for real food, indeed! Enjoy! Where is that fever coming from? Is the arm infected? Take care and keep the pics coming. Are they still doing radiation with the elevated temp?

    1. I really have fun making the pictures. I have so many!
      I only had a week of radiation. My arm isn't infected and is hardly bleeding at all.
      My temp is down today.

  6. Good for you for ordering actual food. How can anyone thrive on poor food? They're economizing at your expense.

    1. The food here is sickening.
      I haven't had real food in a long time. I'm glad to finally have it!

  7. Deli good is the best !
    A great comfort to eat real food that tastes real good :)
    Making the stomach happy makes for a happy body and person. Jon, eat what you like and to hell with them !

  8. These are indeed spectacular AI creations! I love them ALL!

    My only problem concerning AI are the disgusting people who use it deceitfully for their own purposes to knowingly lie to others (which is definitely NOT you!). But people always manage to corrupt anything good in life as usual.

    I especially love the orange tabby cat on the piano keyboard : - D

    1. You're right - - evil people have a way of twisting and corrupting things (especially politics) they use AI for their own benefit and agenda. The world is a cesspool, Kim, and I despise it.
      The kitty on the pumpkin is seemingly in deep thought

  10. I love these AI pics.
    I think it's a dog & not a wolf.(next post, was not allowed to comment there):(
    I have a thing for ๐Ÿฆ‰ owls & scarabs.
