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. 😊
It was a day that included all weather conditions. The day started cloudy and in dry weather. It blew up, and a few holes in the cloud cover revealed a blue sky, so infinitely beautiful. But when I looked over my shoulder, dark clouds were towering, and soon the snow was gathering around us, painting the ground white. When we came out of the forest we caught sight of this: The pond with two young swans and the wonderful sky reflecting on the surface.
What is the daylight like in Denmark in December? Our average sunshine hours is 1.28 per day. On December 21, the sun sets at 15.37 and it is DARK night at 18.00. On cloudy days, the lunch break is experienced as twilight. But when the snow covers the landscape and the sun shines –
The last week has been absolutely amazing! PS I know we’ve made it to January 😅
What an awesome winter weather. It all started with a blizzard in Jutland, and eventually we got snow in Copenhagen and North Zealand as well. Completely unreal winter weather where people were stuck in traffic for many hours. It doesn’t happen that often in Denmark anymore.
I had to quote William Shakespeare for Blow Blow You Winter Wind ❤️😊
..Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude…
