Tick Tock ~ Time To Move On Down the Line

Hockey as an early teenager. Motorcycles as a later teenager. In my early 50's it was astronomy. When my back became a problem and manhandling my telescope became painful M'Lady bought me a camera. I'm going to be 73 this year and between my failing eyesight and constant hand tremors I believe that it be time for another new hobby.  

Hockey as an early teenager. Motorcycles as a later teenager. In my early 50's it was astronomy. When my back became a problem and manhandling my telescope became painful M'Lady bought me a camera. I'm going to be 73 this year and between my failing eyesight and constant hand tremors I believe that it be time for another new hobby.    Wired  There is also the reality that my camera is old, out of production and impossible to get repaired where we live and today it started acting up.  So, how do I continue to bring garden updates alive?  Obviously, with my cell phone and AI. Exactly how this will be achieved is beyond my ken. But so was the image in this post when M'Lady bought me the Fujifilm S4200.  Which brings me to you, my readers. One of my enduring passions is the blog you are reading. I've been using this platform for somewhere between 10 and 15 years. I'm not going to stop now.   For the last few months most of my images have been AI generated and then I would work on them. I'm wondering if I can find some better software. As well, Microsoft Copilot is about as good as it gets for free AI but I'm curious about other options.  Seems to me that my new hobby is going to be computer centered and AI enabled. I find this idea darkly humorous. Why? Glad you asked. Because back in the day my motorcycles were built without onboard computers. In high school there were no computer courses, but we could take typing courses.  To end my days wired into the web, that has a certain dark humor to my way of thinking.  Outlier
