Revisiting the Cemetery Crow

Photography prompt: Take a picture of a bird from the family Corvidae.
Photography technique: Tight focus. Blur the background.

I took these pictures of a crow that followed me around a cemetery, and over 10 years later, I still love them to bits.

I used Gemini AI to reimagine them because they’re a done deal, and I have tried running them through filters and never cared for the results. I think the Gemini results were fun and have a Halloween vibe; I hope you like them.

What the Fire Remembers

Experience Writing Halloween Photo Prompt

I flew. I fell. I crashed and burned.

Did it hurt? The memory has turned to ash.

Sometimes, when I hear the sound

of a crackling fire,

I wonder: did I fall, did I crash, did I burn,

or was I only ever flying—

a scatter of glowing embers

rising from the dark?

 

Graveyard Smashes and Monster Dances

Maria’s Experience Writing Halloween Challenge gave us the topic “ Hoots ” and my mind went to having fun. Here are a couple of videos featuring a weird AI  created dance that I would like to share.

“Remember the Monster Mash? It was a graveyard smash… now Shockfactor has created a dance and set it to a song that is just as catchy, but I guess I’m still wondering what ever happened to the Transylvania Twist?

Check out both videos—they’re a hoot!”

The Goddess Of The Pumpkin Patch

RDP Thursday: Callipygous

Photo A.M. Moscoso

As I perched my warty pumpkin against the foot of a mossy tree for her picture, I am positive the warty little pumpkin fancied herself callipygous as she posed proudly against my oak tree in the October sunlight.

I loved my pumpkin, warts and all, so I asked Gemini to take a look at the pictures of my warty pumpkin and—let’s try, I suggested—make her look like a marble statue: the goddess she envisioned herself to be. And it did!

Then I asked Gemini to turn the warty pumpkin statue around, and there, as sassy as you please, you get a peek of my warty pumpkin‘s posterior.

If she had a tongue to say “I love it” (I didn’t have the heart to carve that lovely face), I think she would have.
