I have been exploring the world of AI recently. I thought I would share an occasional picture I ask for, and maybe a memory it reminds me of. No set schedule, just when I think about it. The app I downloaded onto my iPad is called AI Art Generator. My request was “black wolf/white wolf family in the mountains with flowers”. I sort through several, most are really nice, occasionally one might look a little odd, but then you get very pretty ones and a favorite. This is mine.
(Added note: at this time, and one never knows if this will change in the future, the app is free,)
I think I have mentioned this before, but it is an all-time favorite memory, so here goes. It happened on one of our road trips several years ago. I hope you won't mind me repeating myself if you remember it from last time.
We were at a lodge in the Grand Tetons, and had arrived the day before having traveled three or four hundred miles. That first morning I was coming out of a deep sleep when I awakened before daybreak, to what I thought were dogs howling. It was a beautiful, most unearthly and surreal sound.
Lying there trying to focus on what I was hearing, I eventually realized that no, I wasn’t dreaming. Understandably, considering the early hour, Gregg wanted to continue sleeping, so I brewed a quick cup of coffee, put on my coat, grabbed a blanket and stepped onto the lanai. I still have this vivid memory of sitting down with that hot coffee cupped in my hands and intently listening. It was almost the end of October and very chilly.
As the first light appeared, the outline of the mountains came into focus. It was an incredible morning with pockets of mist everywhere. I listened for half an hour to what I confirmed later, were wolves howling in the distance. Something I had never heard with my own ears before, nor heard since.
As far back as I can remember, I have always been drawn to the mountains. It certainly was a great gift to be there that day.
I found a website at this link with lots of information about wolves.
