My exercise goals have been a total disaster in the past 10 days. Last week, I only managed to reach 5k steps twice. Conveniently enough, I forgot to post the report the second time... silly me. Not the first time, and certainly it won't be the last...

Foggy, frosty, icy — and a bit wet Some ten days ago, I was out for a walk on a very foggy day. Usually, my photos of fog are really bland and dull. I think this time, it worked a bit better. You can evaluate what I managed to capture. I went to an a...

Last Friday, I tried posting some recent photos of mushrooms. Alas, I posted from my phone, and the images were not visible properly. It was a real pity, so I decided to expand last week's story a bit. The unusually warm weather continues. It's not w...

Today I am resharing some pictures that I generated in starryai last month and in early January. It's amazing just how far AI can go. I love the beautiful snow-covered trees in the picture below. To me, it looks like a masterful painter created magic...

The month started on the chilly side, and there was plenty of snow. At the moment, the temperature is just above 0 Celsius, and it's raining all the time. If only it was like -5 or colder, so that the ground would be all white, not muddy and wet... I...

It's already 11 days since New Year's Eve and more than two and a half weeks since Christmas, but I wish to recap them. Better later than never. Christmas Eve came and went. It was an amazing and, dare I say, an unforgettable one. The weather gave me...
