Henry enjoyed his first ever experience with Jell-O this morning. He quickly learned there is a fine art to picking up something that is not supposed to be picked up.
Henry and I then proceeded to avoid the spring break gunfire, making a quick visit to Ponce Inlet near Daytona Beach in search of a Purple Sandpiper. Instead we got this Prairie Warbler.
Maybe we'll try for the Purple Sandpiper tomorrow before we head to Orlando for a few days at Walt Disney World to celebrate OG's 2nd birthday. Speaking of OG, he has been learning how to share. In this case, his new cars with his mentor, Chip the Cat.
With the birding effort being largely on the back burner for now, March has been a great month to complete one of those 'someday projects' by digitizing our old 8mm films and scanning old family photos. It has been fun to use AI software to bring some of the old photos to life.
This is my Great-Great Grandfather Hefner. He was born in 1820. His grandfather fought in the American Revolution. This photo is circa 1897. The colorized version provides a nice interpretation of the original image.
Another interesting option has been the animation of photos. Here, this still photo of my Grandparents Jolley and their five children at their 50th wedding anniversary in 1970 has been 'brought to life' through AI animation.
It's kind of creepy but, they are all gone so, it's pretty cool to see our ancestors' familiar smiles again.
More soon from WDW. I have been rubbing the rosary beads pretty hard in hopes that OG won't get kicked out of the park again. And, I'm not even Catholic. (See previous post)
