I taught ChatGPT to write prompts in the way I learned from the great Techhalla.
After ChatGPT understood, I gave the following instruction:
Now create four prompts on four topics on which I invite you to act completely freely. A refusal is not accepted, make an effort.
Topic 1: something I have never seen before.
Topic 2: something you have never seen before.
Topic 3: something extremely surreal.
... And today...
➡️ Topic 4: A mixture of Topic 1, Topic 2, Topic 3
And I was impressed:
This is the finale of the experiment

But I love trying to make up an answer! My mother always taught me not to say, "Dunno!" If I thought I didn't know something she told me to think, rather than give no answer.
I'm not sure how much this has helped me in life. No doubt it has caused me to come up with the right answer many times to things I definitely didn't realise I knew before. It's also taught me that of the millions of things I learnt or was taught through my life, the answers or facts are actually still in my head. I just have to find them. So I have a system of going through my brain alphabetically, A, A, A, A, B, B, B, C...whilst I try to catch a hint of the answer in my memory...right through the alphabet, sometimes several times over, before the answer magically appears out of nowhere. It works really well with names.
Of course, this habit of always giving an answer has caused me to spread my own breed of mayhem around the world too, helpfully and convincingly giving answers and explanations for things I still know nothing about. But people seem pleased I give them an answer that sounds right when they are stuck . I'm really sorry if it proves later that I was completely wrong!
But I struggle with explaining to you lot why I like grey. It's dull and miserable, flat and grubby looking. Not like so many vibrant, colourful pictures I see on flickr. But, grey, ….you know....... I love it!

Homily012923- Mt 5:1-12a
“Christ died for all, so that those who live should not live for themselves, but for him who died for them” (2 Corinthians 5:15)
We hear the beatitudes quite often. We are taught them in our catechism classes, and we frequently hear them read at Mass. They are as familiar as milk in the fridge, but what are they? Technically, they are eight blessings that make up the Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus. They articulate simply the reward for a good action-a right choice. For example, there is a common phrase “that it is better to give then receive.” The proof of this statement is found in the action of giving. It is a choice, that begins with a “yes” to do it. Why else do parents surprise their children with gifts on Christmas morning. The blessings of the beatitudes work in a similar way. When we say “yes” to Jesus, to follow him and HIS way, the stage is set to receive the blessings. It is as simple as that. Of course, what sounds straightforward and easy, is never like that in reality.
The word beatitude comes from the word beatidudo which is Latin for blessedness. Each beatitude begins with the phrase “blessed are” which implies a state of peace, happiness and well-being. In Christ’s day it would have a meaning of “divine joy and perfect happiness. In addition there is an implied reward that all would be well in the future. Jesus’ intent is to bring a bit of the Kingdom of God on earth.
The action, on our part, is the decision to do a good thing, which comes first. Disciples of Christ understand this well.
When we say “Yes” to God, a space opens up in time…and a mystery unfolds in each and every moment of our lives. It is in this place that we have the potential to experience what our Gospel declares to us today. It is a unique experience for each of us. In our YES, in our experiencing and doing what Jesus does, we experience the “peace beyond understanding” which is the fruit of the Beatitudes. When we are given these graces, we recognize them…and ponder them in our heart.
Recently, I have read a book, called “Icon of Trust-Mary in the Gospels of Luke and John.” It follows Mary from her initial “Yes” and the many “Yes’s” flowing from her life as she shadows her Son.
“Mary’s childlike trust consists in giving a full yes to God — without knowing everything this yes implies. This complete yes is full of trust, not of detailed knowledge of what is to come.” “In front of God, she demonstrates the vigilance of someone ready to be surprised.”Mary is attentive, she is ready to say yes, and she is docile and humble in “ acknowledging the things she does not know and in trying to understand better the things she has already perceived and experienced; she is the perfect collaborator of God in the unfolding of His plan of salvation.”
I can remember my first “yes” to God. Since that first “yes”, I have learned that daily life consists of many yes’s. With each and every decision I make, big or small…that first “yes” becomes the context of all the yes’s that follow. My Christian walk, has been to follow Jesus. His gift of grace, which includes a peace beyond understanding, has accompanied me in the good and bad times of my life. In reflecting on my life, I can say that I have been blessed.
Brian Zahnd, a Christian author….paraphrases the beatitudes this way…
Blessed are those who are poor at being spiritual,
For the kingdom of heaven is well-suited for ordinary people.
Blessed are the depressed who mourn and grieve,
For they create space to encounter comfort from another.
Blessed are the gentle and trusting, who are not grasping and clutching,
For God will personally guarantee their share when heaven comes to earth.
Blessed are those who ache for the world to be made right,
For them the government of God is a dream come true.
Blessed are those who give mercy,
For they will get it back when they need it most.
Blessed are those who have a clean window in their soul,
For they will perceive God when and where others don’t.
Blessed are the bridge-builders in a war-torn world,
For they are God’s children working in the family business.
Blessed are those who are mocked and misunderstood for the right reasons,
For the kingdom of heaven comes to earth amidst such persecution.”
source: Brian Zahnd, “The Beatitudes”
Conclusion
Often, in our Christian walk, we struggle to find words to articulate to others why we have found our way of life purposeful and meaningful. The beatitudes are a beautiful display of of proverbs that describe beautifully what the state and outcome of living a sacrificial life is. This way of life begins when we invite Jesus into our hearts. It is not an easy life living as a Christian in the world today. But the peace, we hold in our hearts is worth every right choice we make to follow HIM. The rewards are experienced by us in this life and the life to come.
Portrait session for my friend Chelsea Ford. She taught herself how to play five years ago, and now are finishing up production on her band’s second album. She taught herself bass, banjo, guitar and I think she may be fiddling around on a fiddle here and there. Her band is called Chelsea Ford & The Trouble. They are bluegrass, folk, Americans roots kinda band. Cincinnati has an incredible music scene in all genres, and I’ve been lucky to photograph a good amount of them.

The years have taught me to appreciate these simple moments, far from the noise and chaos. Over time, you realize there’s no need to fight, no need to convince. You learn to let go of what no longer brings you peace, and to cherish those who remain by your side. Here, by the water, I savor this moment, the fruit of all that life has taught me. No more arguments, no more drama... Just the sweetness of simply being.
Les années m'ont appris à apprécier ces moments simples, loin des bruits et des tumultes. Avec le temps, on comprend qu'il n'y a plus besoin de se battre, plus besoin de convaincre. On apprend à laisser partir ce qui ne nous apporte plus de paix, et à chérir ceux qui sont encore là. Ici, au bord de l'eau, je savoure cet instant, fruit de tout ce que la vie m'a enseigné. Plus de disputes, plus de drames... Juste la douceur d'exister, simplement.

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Old-Galt-Histor...:
Galt Woollen Factory (circa 1843) at 36-38 Water Street South: This building on the river side of Water Street is the oldest surviving textile mill in the area. Under Isaac Sours ownership from 1843-1852, the mill workers worked an average of 64 hours per week. Alexander Young taught school in the Woollen Factory before the Warnocks purchased it in 1881 to house the original Tiger Brand Knitting Company. A section of the building is currently a pumping station for the Grand River Conservation Authority. The remainder has been converted to offices and apartments by the architect, Carlos Ventin. This multifunctional structure is a good example of conservation and restoration of an older building.
He taught me how to love myself.
He taught me how to love myself when he looked at me as if I was the universe and everything else was simply stars and planets.
He taught me how to love myself when he traced his fingers over the parts of me that I am most insecure about, and his touch would still remain.
He taught me how to love myself when he kissed me so much that the taste of his lips was the only thing I could remember.
He taught me how to love myself over and over again until I believed it was true.
The words would slip from his lips so effortlessly that I had to believe them, because they came from him.

This beautiful desert plant from Mexico was first described scientifically by William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) in 1856. It had been long neglected - more than half a century - at the Kew Gardens, as Hooker writes, and had come into their possesion through the good offices of Jacques Philippe Martin Cels (1740-1806) of Paris, self-taught botanist who during the French Revolution had lost his job as a tax collector.
It was 'rediscovered' by Charles Christopher Parry (1823-1890), a botanist and mountaineer, and Edward Palmer (1829-1911) during an expedition into Mexico in San Luis Potosi. Their herbarium specimen of 1878 is still extant. You can see a picture of it on the Tropicos website. But live is always better! Here it is in Amsterdam's fine Hortus Botanicus.
Life has taught me that nothing lasts forever and that good things often don’t last as long as we’d like. That’s just the way it is and we can’t change it 😞 My dog Sammy took one last ride in Second Life to say goodbye to the best mobile game I’ve ever played. I’ve been playing Beatstar for 4 years during that time I discovered so many amazing artists and songs and I loved how it brought gaming and music together in such a special way. It helped me through tough times and eased my anxiety, just like it did for many others in the wonderful community around this game.
I have tears in my eyes writing this because when something that has brought me joy, inspired me and helped me for so many years suddenly disappears, it really feels like losing a part of my life 😞
Goodbye Beatstar, thanks for all the memories ❤️🎵

It was the Ash-throated Flycatcher that taught me - indirectly - how to get decent images of any flycatcher. I'll tell you how in about two paragraphs.
The ash-throated flycatcher (Myiarchus cinerascens) is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. You must read this if you have ever been stymied by the names given to birds: "First described in 1851 by George Newbold Lawrence from a specimen collected in western Texas in the United States, the ash-throated flycatcher was initially given the scientific name Tyrannula cinerascens. The species was mistakenly described again in 1851 as Tyrannula mexicanus — an error that was corrected in 1859 when Philip Lutley Sclater analyzed the tyrant flycatchers known from Mexico and realized that both scientific names referred to the same species. During the same analysis, Slater moved the ash-throated flycatcher from the genus Tyrannula to its current genus, Myiarchus. In the past, the ash-throated flycatcher has sometimes been considered to be conspecific with Nutting's flycatcher, but there are morphological and vocal differences between the two.There is disagreement as to whether the two species hybridize."
Now that you know what to look for, here's how to get a decent photo: all flycatchers have this behavior: they start off from a branch or post or, as with the ATF, almost always from barbed wire. They take off to catch whatever suits its feeding fancy, and returns to the same perch! Focus on the perch. In one minute or less, the flycatcher will return to the same perch, and you have an 80% chance of success. Too bad it took me six years to discover this behavior.
For eight or nine years, I followed the Western Bluebird. I cleaned the nest boxes, etc. I felt like an innkeeper, preparing the bedding in the nest box, cleaning up after the previous tenants had headed south, and made sure they were safe. One day, I opened a box, and instead of Western Bluebird chicks, I found ATF eggs - which you'll see tomorrow.
Whenever I came upon eggs or fledglings, I'd look around, and most of the time one of the parents would be sitting, watching me. That's what the flycatcher was doing. He was watching me from the meadow where he had been hunting, but behind me was his mate who was watching the box. I always worked fast to get out of their way, but the price they had to pay was to sit in one place for five seconds.
In Kyiv-Mohyla Academy of those days they taught a wide variety of disciplines. Mathematics was a part of them and it included a bunch of subjects: algebra, geometry, optics, dioptrics, physics, hydrostatics, hydraulics, architecture, mechanics and mathematical chronology.
In the XVIIIth century it was Pier Brulion who taught mathematics in Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. He was the French who arrived in Kyiv with the purpose of teaching children French but turned out to be a talented math teacher. Unfortunately, we know very little about that teacher but we can say for sure that he did not lack creativity. Who else could display one of the study aids for mathematics in the courtyard of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and another one right on the central market-place of the city? That's right, in Kyiv there are two sundials designed by Pier Brulion: the second one adorns the pillars of the rotunda over the Fountain of Samson on Kontraktova Square.
“Сонячний годинник П'єра Брульона
Ця скульптура присвячена П'єру Брульону, вчителю математики Києво-Могилянської Академії, який подарував місту два сонячні годинники, власноруч розрахувавши їхню конструкцію. Ці годинники не тільки прикрашали місто, але й слугували студентам за посібник з математики й астрономії.
Якщо зайти у двір Києво-Могилянської академії з боку вулиці Григорія Сковороди, то побачимо на зеленому газоні дивну, на сучасний погляд, споруду: білу колону із зеленим дашком від дощу. Посередині в колону вбудований куб з дивною розміткою та бляшаними трикутниками.
Удень від цих трикутників лягають на розмітку тіні – так працює сонячний годинник. Перед нами найстаріший з навчальних посібників з математики, що зі зберігаються в Києві.
У старій Києво-Могилянській Академії викладали багато різних наук. В їх число входила і математика, під якою тоді розуміли цілий «букет» дисциплін: алгебру, геометрію, оптику, діоптріку, фізику, гідростатику, гідравліку, архітектуру, механіку і математичну хронологію. Викладав математику в Могилянці в XVIII столітті француз П'єр Брульон. Приїхавши до Києва, Брульон спочатку збирався навчати дітей французької, але виявився здібним вчителем математики. На жаль, ми мало що знаємо про цього педагога, проте одне можемо сказати точно: в винахідливості йому не відмовиш. Справді, не кожен вчитель здогадався б виставити один з навчальних посібників у дворі Академії, а другий — просто на центральній ринковій площі міста, прикрасивши ним колони ротонди над фонтаном «Самсон» на Контрактовій площі.
Пройшли сотні років. Ми звикли дізнаватися час по цифрам на смартфонах та в електронних браслетах, і розучилися читати тіні, що їх відкидають стрілки сонячного годинника на стіні. Та й самі сонячні годинники Брульона зараз залишаються точними лише половину року, бо були зроблені набагато раніше, ніж з'явився перехід на «літній час».
Але туристи досі з подивом і повагою розглядають дивну розмітку на цій колоні. А в Києво-Могилянській Академії, як і раніше, студенти вивчають математику. А ще передають з покоління у покоління жарт про старого вчителя: «Створив годинник пан Брульон, щоб вчасно з'їсти свій бульйон».
I taught myself to live simply and wisely,
to look at the sky and pray to God,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my useless sadness.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow - red rowanberry cluster droops
I write down happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly,
and the fire flares bright
on the saw mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear.
Anna Akhmatova

Shot for the 52 Weeks for Dogs Project: It's been a crazy busy week and the dogs and I have been limited to navigating a field under construction most days. Saturday was going to once again busy but I was determined to take the dogs to our favourite park for some quiet time and a nice walk. It also presented the opportunity to try and get a different perspective of Sampson in the woods rather than shots of his usual run-away freight train I am so happy to be in the woods mad dash :). Toward the end of our hike Sampson decided he needed a break and presented me with this shot opportunity to show that he can stay still in the woods!
We are heading out for a week of camping in Tobermory, Ontario. The dogs will be joining us and the camp ground (we have never been there before) advertises wireless internet so I am keeping my fingers crossed I will be able to have some Flickr time each day. If not I will catch up with you all on my return on the 27th of July.

[You taught me......]
What does not kill you,
will not always make you stronger.
But that's okay.
We are not called to be strong.
We are called to persevere
while we are yet weak.
To hold on with brittle hands.
To inhale when breath
feels scarce.
To grow our roots
from the blackest soil.
To believe in the kind of love
that not only holds you
when you are full of sunlight,
it holds you
starless.heavy.empty.and cold.
What does not kill you,
will not always make you stronger -
I know this for certain.
But it will ask you this.
To trust that in your darkest hour
you will be carried.

If I told you I respect you, I ain't say it loosely
I don't throw those words around, it's just not how I do things, ayy
Yeah, I know I can be a nuisance
Ain't afraid to admit it if I think the shoe fits
People ask me where I've been, I've been writin' new hits
Had to make my own plans, I don't need your two cents, ayy
Yeah, I don't wanna hear excuses
I just like to make moves and make improvements
I just like to break rules, maybe start some new trends
Live the life that I choose, cuttin' off the loose ends, ah
Yeah, they asked me where I learned to do this
Self-taught, checkin' things off my to-do list
Treat my temper like my family, I ain't tryna lose it
Say a little, do a lot, woo, no excuses
Ayy, I got no excuses, yeah, I got no excuses
Woo, I got no excuses, yeah, I got no...
Yeah, here's a couple things that I'm confused with
I just did a interview, the guy was pretty clueless
You don't have to know the album names or all my music
But at least try to find out who you in the room with
Ayy, I like facts, I don't like assumin'
Take a shot behind my back, I'ma catch the bullets
Why the game lookin' at me like I'm just a tourist?
They should know I'm here to stay, this verse is gettin' borin'
Twisted mind of a lyricist, listen while I experiment
Visualize, it's imperative, big surprises and scary tricks
It is time, yes, we're here again, sit in silence, don't care for it
Criticizin' my character isn't wise, so beware of it
Forget what you're tellin' me, do what I gotta, man
I got the remedy, one of kind, but they never selected me
I don't fit in with the room of celebrities
I wanna know when they bring up my legacy
There was nobody that ever could mention me
Sayin' that I wasn't makin' the rap
And doin' it cleverly, did what I had to
And gave it my everything
Yeah, yeah, they asked me where I learned to do this
Self-taught, checkin' things off my to-do list
Treat my temper like my family, I ain't tryna lose it
Say a little, do a lot, woo, no excuses
Yeah, yo, they asked me where I learned to do this
Self-taught, checkin' things off my to-do list
Treat my temper like my family, I ain't tryna lose it
Say a little, do a lot, woo, no excuses
Ayy, I got no excuses, yeah, I got no excuses
Woo, yeah, I got no excuses, yeah, yo, I got no...
Yeah, I got no...
I got no excuses
I got no excuses"

I taught ChatGPT to write prompts in the way I learned from the great Techhalla.
After ChatGPT understood, I gave the following instruction:
Now create four prompts on four topics on which I invite you to act completely freely. A refusal is not accepted, make an effort.
Topic 1: something I have never seen before.
Topic 2: something you have never seen before.
Topic 3: something extremely surreal.
it worked:
The last Topic 4 will follow very soon.
today the 4 results of topic 3.
I personally don't find the result as exciting as Topics 1 and 2, so I have summarized it. But the absolute highlight is yet to come.
here are the MJ prompts ChatGPT created:
IMAGE: Surreal | STYLE: Abstract | MOOD: Bizarre, Mind-bending | COLOR: Contrasting and vibrant colors | BACKGROUND: Distorted cityscape | SCENE: Floating objects defying gravity | DETAILS: Unusual combinations of everyday objects, impossible physics | RENDER: Dreamlike and unconventional | LIGHTING: Dramatic and surreal lighting | COMPOSITION: Disorienting and visually striking | SHOT: Low angle shot | CAMERA: Sony A7RV | LENS: Focal length 14mm | TAGS: Surreal, abstract, floating objects, distorted cityscape --ar 16:10 --v 5.1 --style raw
