As Diana Was Going To The Bus Stop,

I accompanied her,


past the snail mail box, I said goodbye at the bus stop as I continued, 

to the railway station to buy our tickets for tomorrow, 

next past the green,

and graveyard, the white daffodils,

taking over from the yellow ones that have already finished flowering,

and into here, Papilio in Beckenham High Street, it is in the premises of what was once Beckenham police station, I booked a table for a few weeks time, 

next a walk into the park, 

at the front of Foxgrove Lodge, lots of buds for this years display of wisteria on the front fence, 

on the building itself,

lots more buds, hopefully a grand display this year,

one of the cherry trees, so many flowers it fooled us into going to Greenwich park yesterday, arriving there not a bud in sight! arriving home I spent the rest of the day playing with a few photographs I took on Monday, but nothing seemed to stand out, so that was that, on to my evening meal,

first a read and a milk, no sherry this evening, as I am driving to the Beckenham Photographic Society meeting this evening and then picking up Diana when she finishes work, 

'Cheers!', as I tuck into a huge chicken stew that Diana left for me, after which off to the club, the talk this evening was by Andrew about the impact of AI on photography, and should/how it can be used, with that in mind I brought these two prints along with me, 

Steve took this one of me on Sunday, after I mentioned I felt like Sherlock Holmes with my glass that looked like a Sherlock pipe, in no time at all his camera had produced this,

myself as Sherlock! Andrew used these two prints as an example of what was permitted, the photograph was there in its entirety, with just a change, but it was still Steve's original photograph, what would not be allowed is if you took say a landscape, and then put somebody else's sky into it, it is then no longer a original photograph, he also on a projector screen illustrated how to manipulate photographs in Lightroom which I do not have, but it was still interesting, next off to pick up Diana before returning home for a coffee for Diana, and a spiced rum for myself as we watched a Midsomer Murder, after which as it is Diana's day off tomorrow and we have a early start, we were off to bed.
