When I was traveling in London, I cam upon many scenes like the one I shot in the original photo. A lovely and treats and tea beckoning someone to take a rest, a load off. This scene and others harkened back to a time when my children were young. It may seem odd but on birthdays, Mother’s Day, one of the only things that I requested consistently was a cup of coffee and a few hours to myself in some quaint cafe. My AI version of the original photo tells the story of treating oneself to quiet, beauty, warmth sweetness in the midst of the chaos that are parents’ (not just mom’s) daily experience.
