 If you have been hanging around for a while I'm glad you are still here, if you are a new reader welcome.

If you have been following along you know that I like a creative challenge! I have begun to play around with Stable Diffusion and other AI art programs. I can't draw a straight line let alone create beautiful art work like a professional but the AI programs allow me to take an image that is in my head and create it for all to see.

Pinterest this will take you to my main Pinterest page for this ID cmarois60. I am debating if I should switch back to the old site as more people go there but it seems like a lot of work to copy everything over to the other ID cherylmarois.

I have been thinking about reorganizing my online life so that it takes less of my time but since nearly everything I do is connected to the computer I don't think I can do much. Today I have a few things I want to get done. Among them are giving you my personal lists and printing out the bits and bobs I need for my Journal.

These are 6 of my 10 or so lists for this month. As you can see I am continuing my study on Flora, this month it is plants that can heal/ hurt/ or both depending on what part you use and how much of it. I am going to work on a proper Fungi Board as I need to know a lot about them for my story. Or rather Woulfs story when ever I actually finish getting the plot figured out.

I have been using ChatGPT to flesh out details and Art AI to bring it alive. It is a slow process because I am doing everything on my own from thought to finished image. I am lucky that I have several people in my life who help me with different lessons but the final images are my own. That said I would like to introduce Woulf to you all and get your opinions of this guy as my main character.

Woulf (draft image)
Woulf is a striking figure in the enchanted forest, embodying a balance of youthful vigor and careful sophistication. With sleek, smooth black fur that glistens under the moonlight, he stands as a symbol of the untamed wilderness. His eyes, a keen amber, reveal a wisdom beyond his years, reflecting a deep connection to the mystical realm. Despite his wild nature, Woulf is meticulous about his appearance, moving with a fluid grace that speaks of both his lupine agility and the deliberate care he takes in presenting himself. As he navigates the enchanted forest, Woulf is not only a symbol of the wild but also a testament to the delicate equilibrium between the human and the primal.

 His world is separate from ours, a self contained forest maintained by a guardian spirit. It is in trouble. Something has made the Guardian sick. This in turn has caused the denizens of the forest to sicken as well. In particular it interferes with reproduction.

My Birthday Trip- Day 4

By
Today is Ferry Day! I am not talking a ferry like the one in Toronto, this ship was huge! I guess it would have to be to hold 18 wheeler's plus dozens of other cars. The Chi-Cheemaun runs between South Baymouth on Manitoulin Island and Tobermory on Bruce Peninsula. It moves passengers and their vehicles between the above two points a few times a day.    E got a business call when we were leaving the Ferry and he got pissy cause he's on vacation and still they called him. Anyway that meant that he left the ferry and the Port too quickly for me to speak about what we were supposed to do next or rather what I wanted to do first. After he calmed down a bit I asked him if we could go back and get tickets to take a ride on a glass bottom boat. We turned back and found the Blue Heron company that did the tours. We booked a tour instead of the explorer tour but that was because I was in pain after a fall during the morning. While we were waiting for the ferry we went for a walk to see...

My Birthday Trip- Day 3

By
 We started early because we needed to get to the Preserve before dark as absolutely no white light is allowed and that includes car lights. We stopped at the Anishnabe Trading Store, where I met this fellow. From the outside it didn't look that big but inside it was huge.  As you can see behind him there is a lot of stuff. We also stopped at the Iroquois Cultural Centre. Being in there was deeply moving like being in a holy place. I didn't get any pictures because it felt wrong to do so. We stopped at Bridal Veil Falls. The climb down wasn't too bad but the walk back up was murder on my lungs. This was taken about half-way down I think. I had planned to sleep in one of these but I'm glad we changed our mind, the teepee doesn't have a floor. Instead we stayed in a bunkie.  Two rooms and no heat, also no running water or indoor toilet so we had to use a outhouse. That wouldn't have been so bad but the outhouses were set 25 yards or so from the bunkie. Not fun wh...

Rest Assured I'm still here

By
 Albeit tired in a way I can not describe well but I will try. November was a quiet month with very little going on and was just what I needed after such a busy summer. I am still feeling off but that may have been because I had what I think was a mini-stroke just at the end of November then December brought GD#3 back full-time. The shakes are steadily getting worse and the headaches are back. It has been awhile since I felt so tense and afraid. It could just be a stress headache but I keep coming back to the massive one I had the night before I got checked out for the stroke. It frightens me but it shouldn't I used to get them a lot last winter, it's because our radiators blow warm, dry air and it dries me out. The thing is even drinking water does not seem to help much. My guess is that I am very dehydrated from the heaters, with the added stress of Christmas and GD#3, all of which add up to "I don't feel so good". Add the mini-stroke stuff and winter arriving a...
