Happ pre Birthday Bro

Friday 29th November 2024 would have been my brothers 52nd birthday. I really would not only love to still be able to speak to him but also see how old he would have looked now, I know I have shades of grey in my hair when it grows out I wonder what shades of grey he would have in his hair too now.

If all goes well I will be out catching up with friends this weekend and so would not be able to put this post on my site then. I am sure I could have timed it to come out on his birthday but I prefer to publish posts when I have written them.

When visiting my mum this year we have been discovering slides from the past of her parents and her growing up. There is also a lovely photo we found of her with a young Andy or Andrew as he was called back then.

I just do still wonder what he would be doing know if he was still alive, I still think he would have thrived during the Covid-19 pandemic, he could be insightful, positive, optimistic and funny when you caught him on a good day, of which he had many. So to lose him to himself on a very bad moment is a sad and true tragedy to this day.

I have just tried to add a frame to one of my favourite photos of him and I hope it does him justice. It’s just nice to see him in a very slightly different way. It’s one of my favourite photos of him with the flower painted on him and a happy content look.

I also thought it time to take a photo of me too and put a border frame around that too.

God bless you Andy I hope you are doing alright where you are and able to look in on us from time to time. Assisting us as best you can with any scrapes we might get into from time to time.

Discovering Ai Image generators

A work colleague of mine was talking last week about the creative power of using ai writing programs he used it to generate a template for a questionnaire for work and was really impressed with its ability to write out a template for him.

So with that in mind I have started to look at Ai art generating software and I am absolutely amazed by the results just from some basic prompts that I included to generate those images.

I do hope to continue to use such software to express myself in future too. One old image I have that I find really cool and inspirational is that of a polar bear swimming through ice cold waters it’s a fairly old image so I assume it is real as I have had the image since 2010.

I love the image and have in the past dreamed about polar bears too and love the fact of where they live, how dangerous and majestic they are as well as able to survive and thrive in such a hostile environment. I tried seeing could generate similar images with Ai photo generator and got the following results just in word press, its such a cool tool.

I also had a go on a Microsoft image generator and got the following results.

I also tried to generate an image of a polar bear being stared at by a wolf. The image below is using WordPress image generator.

I am just amazed by how cleaver these image generators are. Though they don’t always know what they are doing!

But mostly its impressive to view. The below image was using the Microsoft image generator this time.
