I'm a bit of an eclectic mess πŸ™‚ I've been a programmer, journalist, editor, TV producer, and a few other things.

I'm currently working on my second novel which is complete, but is in the edit stage. I wrote my first novel over 20 years ago but then didn't write much till now.

I post about #Coding, #Flutter, #Writing, #Movies and #TV. I'll also talk about #Technology, #Gadgets, #MachineLearning, #DeepLearning and a few other things as the fancy strikes ...

Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly.

Sitting on a Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica).

I was just minding my own business photographing flowers when this butterfly landed on the Lobelia near me. She stayed for a few minutes and was on her way.

January Joy - Day 24
"Canola Field in Bloom"

The snow is gone again, but it's still very cold outside. Waiting for Spring to arrive. Somewhen last Spring I saw this beautiful canola field during a bike tour on the Mulderadweg (Mulde Bike Path) in Germany and of course had to take pictures.

Yesterday's #StableDiffusion prompt was: "Making Money".

Not any of the resulting images had anything to do with the #DiscWorld novel, and some didn't even seem to fit the concept of the title, but hey, that's how it goes, right? πŸ˜›
