    I’ve been a wee bit swamped with work recently, so I haven’t caught up with all your previous posts; hopefully, I’ll be fully caught up in the next couple of days.

    Allium Ursinum: Capturing the Beauty of Wild Garlic at Culzean Castle — FOTD Aug 03

    Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.

    We’re now moving on to Culzean Castle & its grounds in Ayrshire for the next series of flowers & settings


    Allium ursinum, also known as wild garlic, ramsons, cowleekes, cows’s leek, cowleek, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek, Eurasian wild garlic or bear’s garlic. It is native to Europe and Asia, where it grows in moist woodland. It is a wild relative of onion and garlic, all belonging to the same genus, Allium.

    As with Thursday’s fuchsia, I added a picture of Culzean castle into the AI prompt to ensure it featured in the background. My setting for the wild garlic is its natural habitat of woodland, with the castle in the background. I then did a series of style edits (carousel): golden hour lighting, night, storm, dystopian, futurism… enjoy

    If you follow my blog, you know I’m currently working on a project fusing my photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series, the latest of which is a reimagining of some lensball shots.

    The Knautia macedonica is also known as the Macedonian scabious.

    As with yesterday’s fuchsia, I added a picture of Culzean castle into the AI prompt to ensure it featured in the background. I then did a series of style edits (carousel): oil painting, surrealism, steampunk & digital art… enjoy

  • Broughty Ferry Beach

    Following on from my last post about beach art, here are a few more photos from down on the beach. Although the weather was not the best, this is still a great place to be. It was quiet and peaceful but this is probably more to do with the timing of our mid-week visit and the showery weather.
