Today’s TDC says:

Use this random word generator and write a haiku (5, 7, 5 syllables) about the first word you generate!

The word I got was drift:

A crisp autumn day
Clouds drift across the skyline
Trees dance in the breeze

I took a photo through my study window, it’s at the top of this post

The Last Museum

Today’s TDC says

The Last Museum says it is “the largest search engine for museum art. It uses semantic search, allowing you to search for artworks by theme, style, subject, vibes, or any description you can imagine”.

Visit the Last Museum and have a look around – pretty amazing, huh? Share something that you found with us, or make some art based on what you find and share that.

I spent ages looking around, first at Scottish culture and then searching for specific terms. Amusingly, a search for Findhorn (as we’re just home from holiday there) brought up this picture of Bembridge on the Isle of Wight (in copyright, so not posted here). I don’t have any photos from my time there, we left such a long time ago. But here’s a pic I took last week of Findhorn Bay, with the same sort of composition

Today’s TDC  says:

Search for an image of the old Lady Bird books and add your own caption. Read more about this here

I searched and found this generator, so here’s what I made

Into the Sun

Today’s TDC says:

Make a dramatic photo at sunrise or sunset.

I was in the car driving down the A9 at 10am today, so I grabbed this one from Flickr and tooted it. Findhorn Bay earlier this week, as we were walking home.

Air Theramin

Today’s TDC says

We love this Air Theremin a lot.

Do something, play with it, record yourself making sounds and share it with us.  Have fun!

Here’s mine

A Track for Olive to Play Rhythm

Today’s TDC says

Here’s an image of actress Olive Thomas likely pretending to be a jazz drummer. Share an unlikely song you can imagine her laying down the drum beats too.

I think this track by AC/DC would be a good one for her to try, actually.

Accidental Photo Art

Today’s TDC says

Invariably I take unintended photos when grabbing my phone or those weird compositions featuring a blurred thumb selfie. Can you make/shae art from an accidental or unntended photo?

I usually delete any blurry pics I take, but here’s a long exposure one I took at the weekend by mistake. It was very windy!

I headed over to Lunapic to artify it

Lasts

Today’s TDC says:

“Lasts: The last trip to the pool. Or the lake. The last hike. The last popsicle. Capture your warm weather favorites before it really cools down!” Lisa Truesdell

This week we’re up in Findhorn on what will be our last seaside holiday of the year. On Saturday I took this photo as we walked along the sea front.
