Commonly called the Flying Duck Orchid it is a rare find in these here parts of Central Victoria.

A couple of weeks ago Bill and I went out to a location from last year and couldn’t find any of these orchids.

Today returning to the same spot we had just about given up when Eagle Eyed Bill spotted one single gorgeous little orchid.

We were very happy.

And then we returned later on to get a different perspective.

Prose to poetry, thanks AI

This may be controversial to some of my readers however I am loving Copilot AI.

I am largely a prose writer, but sometimes what I write needs more of a poetic slant.

For the upcoming Summertime COLAB exhibition in Bendigo, I am working with other artists, not as a visual artist but as a written one. I have thoroughly enjoyed responding to the works of Robbie Bayliss and then Isabelle Kawai Vincent.

Once I wrote my responses and edited them, I then popped them into Copilot AI for a poetic response. Interestingly I loved the three pieces I got for Robbie’s and have used one.

I also loved the pieces for Isabelle, but then decided to use my own ‘little grey cells’ and wrote my own poetic response.

I have found the exercise to be really good for me and has enhanced my own creativity.

Suffice to say I am happily embracing new technology.
