It’s a hot day, reaching 100 degrees at about 2:00 pm. I did however enjoy my ride to and from the coffee shop this morning. Always a great way to start my day. I took an image last Thursday morning of the sun bursting through oak leaves just outside the coffee shop. I like the original image but for the fun of it I asked Jetpack to enhance it and was amazed how it changed it. It removed the street and house from the background and created a fantasy forest, added dancing fireflies, something I did not expect! I then asked it to add the sleeping elf. I really like the way it turned out and maybe because it adds a cooling feel on this hot day. I must also admit this AI editing feels very strange to me. Again I hope everyone is staying cool.

Thank you, Bonnie! I hadn’t thought of it being magical but it is. Nor did I think about creating a story about it. There you go, making me think.

It’s amazing the direction image editing with AI can go. It’s pretty cool, or should I say you should try to stay cool.
Monte Stevens
I am amazed, Earl. And, I want to accuse you of the itch to play with it. Thanks! Yes, trying to stay cool and kool!

This is truly lovely and soothing and yes, magical, Monte. It reminds me of just how much magic there may be in my day today if I will let Creator, my go to AI, enhance my earthly view of it.

Thanks Geri! I had to smile when you referred to your Creator as your AI. I am also aware of how much magic and awe and wonder are you in our worldly view that I never see. I’ve noticed it’s been hot up there, so I hope you’re staying cool.
