I haven’t felt like this for such a long time.
It’s as if something inside me is falling into place.
You are doing a good job, Sweden 🙂

The Sealand Alps
I walk in the hills overlooking the glorious flashing blue Maglesø.
Vines, blackberries, apples and roses present themselves in the most attractive way.
Everywhere there is a lushness and a beauty hidden in these lovely green hills.
The Sealand Alps, a nickname for a beloved glacial landscape.
…Above the hills, along the blue,
Round the bright air with footing true,
To please the child, to paint the rose,
The gardener of the World, he goes.
Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays…
Summer Sun by Robert Louis Stevenson
Notes
I kan læse mere om Maglesø på danskebjerge.dk
Endvidere kan I se Maglesø klædt i hvidt i danskebjerge.dk’s galleri.
A Walkabout in my Neighbourhood
A walkabout in my neighbourhood bathed in sun and rain 🌧️🌤️ Sorry for the lack of rainy weather photos 😊
The Botched Ambush
Once in a small green field, a group of ordinary cows grazed on grass all day. One day, while munching on clover, they noticed rabbits playing nearby. The cows plotted to become ambush predators, hiding behind bushes to catch the rabbits off guard. However, a premature “Moo!” gave them away. Despite repeated failed attempts, they eventually gave up, returning to grazing. One cow remarked, “Ambushing isn’t for us. Let’s stick to eating grass!” And so, they lived contentedly ever after, watching the rabbits play in the distance.
A Fantasy Journey…
On blossoming branches,
cherry blossoms dance,
spring’s gentle breeze.
On my fantasy journey this spring with AI, I visited the cherry blossoms in Japan 🥰
The Navigation of the Vikings
My creation of a longboat aided by AI
I am thrilled by the Vikings’ remarkable ability to navigate without the aid of modern technology. They didn’t even have watches!
The Vikings relied solely on the sun, the moon, the stars, and the wind for navigation. They honed their skills by listening to sounds, observing the shapes of clouds, feeling the wind on their skin, and scanning the horizon during sea voyages.
In situations where land was obscured by fog or distance, they utilized other sensory cues such as scents or the presence of birds to guide them.
Their navigation techniques were truly unmatched! Moreover, they accomplished astonishing feats like sailing 5000 km across the North Atlantic in their open boats. It’s truly awe-inspiring!
Note
Lately, I have been fascinated by Vikings and their sailing. It inspired me to create an image of a longboat navigating through rough seas with the majestic mountains of Lofoten in the background. I’m not very good at painting, so I have teamed up with AI 🎁😊

A Brush with Seduction
Generated by Adobe Firefly at my prompts
Forget Don Juan, Kierkegaard, and Casanova – I have been seduced. By whom, you ask? None other than artificial intelligence, the smooth-talking robot of the digital age. Are you still intrigued? Stay tuned, because this story involves prompts, paintings, and a touch of humour.
You see, I have a soft spot for watercolor illustrations. So naturally I turned to artificial intelligence to conjure up the perfect image of a Black Woodpecker, Dryocopus martius. Seems simple enough, right? Wrong.
No matter how I worded my directions, the AI seemed fixated on the pileated woodpecker. I tried and I tried again, only to end up with a bizarre hybrid that looked more like Woody Woodpecker than anything else. Talk about a plot twist!
And just like that, I found myself in a dilemma. How could I justify showcasing an advanced hybrid woodpecker on my blog as a Black Woodpecker? The answer? I couldn’t. But wait, who can resist the charms of a Woody Woodpecker look-alike?
Now I sit and think: does AI know me? Does it remember that I once spun a ridiculous yarn about catching catfish? Imagine this: sailing out to sea, whistling a tune, and bonking a catfish on the head with a club. Ridiculous, right? Yet AI and I somehow seem to be cut from the same cloth – prone to tall tales and whimsical adventures.
But maybe it’s time to reassess my urges and steer clear of the seductive allure of AI. After all, there’s only so much trouble you can get into before throwing in the towel. 😊
