    Cuckoo Flowers & Creeping Buttercups — FOTD Jun 11

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

    With Cee recuperating, I’ll be posting flowers daily to give her a bit of floral delight (my version of a bouquet)

    As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.

    This excellent re-imagining shows how nature bounces back in a post-apocalyptic world, the tough wee flowers recarpeting the old roadway

    Tomorrow’s re-imagining is a dystopian one.

    I started with a straightforward setting transformation for these vibrant wee beauties; a wooded glade. I also added a concept art-style prompt that simplifies the details

    Tomorrow, I’m going to set these wee flowers in a post-apocalyptic world.

    No Mow May Is No More

    Hi All 👋 My entry for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday.

    We participated in No Mow May, an annual event run by Plantlife. Basically, you don’t mow your lawn in May to allow flowers & weeds to grow, providing plenty of food for pollinators. This also worked for us as we were away at various times during the month.

    In the gallery below, the first is a before shot.
