✨⭐️✨ a mini, short-story….
About 30yrs ago, I had borrowed a ‘fanecy’ camera 📸 (yes, that’s what we used back then), wanting to try my hand at “picture-taking”. I was out in our yard this particular day, and looked up to catch my daddy in his iconic green ‘72 Ford with our son in the truck bed, heading to the barn, and I quickly snapped a picture. Little did I know what this picture would come to mean to me.
We’re approaching Father’s Day, and also, this August will be 24years since I’ve got to hug, kiss, or talk to my daddy.
AND…… that lil fella in the truck bed is now a father of THREE 👧🏼👧🏻👶🏻
I’ve recently become to really like creating with ChatGPT….. last night I wanted to try and create an image using this picture, but what it came up with, I didn’t care for.
Today after mowing, I had the idea of taking a picture of the barn daddy built, to see if I could combine the two.
This is result and I love it so much. He did have cattle back then, and there is a “branch” (stream) although it doesn’t look like this, but it recreated how I remember daddy at his barn.
I sure wish he were around to see what Rescued & Restored has become.
