Zero peeking

This gave me a chuckle when I looked at my phone. It isn’t perfect, but the AI attempt was surprising. My lock screen is set to show random pictures of my kids, and usually the program stretches the numbers and tucks them behind the head of my eldest, who is tallest. I enjoy seeing the different presentations of the current time digitally inserted into glimpses of past times. On this particular grab from the folder of the past, the app floated the numbers way above my kids’ heads (not shown because I don’t post their faces on this blog), but dimmed the bottom corner of the number zero to show the head of a giraffe statue. The way it chose to not reveal the neck and just one ear makes the giraffe look like it is putting its head through the number. Ha.

Shadow

This is Shadow the long haired black meadow cat that hangs out with Mr Tom, my neighbor’s cat. I’m not sure what other names he goes by, I call him Shadow because he follows Mr Tom around and is black. Shadow has one white whisker, but also doesn’t understand photo shoots. He assumes my presence means he gets brushed, so the photo is hilariously bad.

Unexpected light show

I set up our laser holiday lights, but forgot to turn the timer from “on” to “timer” and when I let Sophie out for her morning constitutional was greeted with quite a spectacular laser show through the morning mist.

Music and cats

I told y’all that I loved that picture of Thor on the Old Man of the North chair. I love it so much I made it a profile picture, and the app gave Thor a thought bubble that said “Share a song”. Now the picture is perfect: music and a cat.

Even though the Old Man’s face is obscured, the “wind” swirls still make it aesthetically pleasing.
