Good morning bluesky

Cold and miserable today – but I'm mustering courage for a walk 👣

Starting with a variant of last night's owl – I really like this style when the ragged border works out 🦉 #midjourney

A more colourful rendition of the earlier prompt – those who know recognise it as our forest, but the reality is much more basic :) #midjourney

I think I need to make a moodboard of our forest, so that MJ can better capture its reality.

We do come across some tufted grass on our walks – it grows taller than me – but the coast is a long way away.

Good morning bluesky

Today's MJ daily theme is a personalisation code. Used here with yesterday's "stone lanterns" prompt 🌸

And I checked – the lanterns do appear in pairs and clusters :)
