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.

Time to write a 5 card Flickr story If you have done one before, you know it is fun. If not, you are in for a treat. Need examples? We haz examples.
I couldn’t make it work, though, I kept getting errors like this:
Fatal error: Uncaught mysqli_sql_exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near ‘<br /> <b>Warning</b>: Undefined array key’ at line 1 in /home/cogdog/subdomains/5card/utils.php:239 Stack trace: #0 /home/cogdog/subdomains/5card/utils.php(239): mysqli_query(Object(mysqli), ‘SELECT * FROM c…’) #1 /home/cogdog/subdomains/5card/play.php(175): get_image_info(Object(mysqli), ‘<br />\r\n<b>Warn…’) #2 {main} thrown in /home/cogdog/subdomains/5card/utils.php on line 239
So here’s my own 5 card Flickr story, from 5 pics I took yesterday.
Driving up through the highlands, in torrential rain, we saw a rainbow

We walked up to the pub as the sun was setting

You may have seen the Tiktok trend where people turn everyday quotes into a motivational quote flyer. Now it’s your turn! Take a random quote from your day and create a motivational poster!
I’m on holiday today, so ignoring all of the emails and Teams messages, so I took a pic of Cagney, pretending to sleep on my bed, and turned that into a poster

Seriously, pointing people are always better with budgies. From our friends at Boing Boing
Pick your pointing person and put a bird on it! Enjoy.
I decided to take a poster I’d already remixed and added the budgie to it:

You have one creative task today. Do not stray from the instructions. Do not pass Go. Do not spit on the sidewalk. Do not disobey.
Ready? Go to the Creative Prompt Machine and Turn the Machine On.
The prompt it gave me is:
Make a comic strip for that time Puff the Magic Dragon went to Machu Piccu [sic] only to discover to get home they had to enjoy a picnic of cheese and crackers.
I cheated – it’s a busy day at work and I don’t have time to draw all that or find some comic strip software, so here’s an image from NightCafe

And you know what – apart from the words being nonsense (probably) it’s really captured what I asked it to do.
Today’s TDC says:
Today, show your favorite time of the year! You can draw us a picture, share a photo you’ve taken, or even write us a poem about it.
No Googling though. This is DS106
I love all of the seasons, but the autumn colours are spectacular. Here’s a picture I took at Ross Priory at the weekend

‘Make Art, Dammit!’ a la Karel Appell
Want to see some of his real stuff? Check Artnet for Inspiration. We used a lovely abstract art generator for our masterpiece here, but feel free to use other media and get messy with real paint!
I took a close up picture of part of an oil painting we have on our walls and played around with filters. Here’s the original:

Then with a bit of colour change:

And with some more magic from Lunapic – I think this effect is called Skeletor

Today’s TDC says:
13th September is Roald Dahl Day. Make some art to celebrate this day – maybe a gif from one of his films, or a poster made from a quote from one of his books.
I chose a quote from the MinPins
“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

and found a gif I did a few years ago of a horse turning into a unicorn.
