Hi Everybody!
Happy Weekend!
Today we have a new challenge at Art Journal Journey, things with wings, and I am happy to announce that our lovely Chrissie will be our hostess for the month. There are so many possibilities here - birds, butterflies, bees, angels, flying insects, winged cars, flying elephants, dragons, fairies, winged hearts, and, and.... - spread your wings of fantasy and enjoy flying with us!
For my piece I used a painted and textured background to which I added a little colour with Gelatos. Mr Umbrella Man and the little girl are flying through space - or is it the sea? accompanied by some little dolphins. The two black lovebirds at the bottom are oblivious to the rest of the world - Fantasy gives us wings and makes everything possible.
I am also linking to Moo Mania and More, black birds and to Simon Monday Challenge, no rules.
The day started with a wonderful sunrise . It was very cold, with a thick frost on the ground this morning, but sunny all day. Tomorrow we are expecting rain again! I enjoyed sitting with my coffee watching the sky tun pink and gold.
The heron flew off just as I got to the Rhine, I think he doesn't get on with the wild geese. This one looked at me and started hissing, so I had to go a step back.
The cormorant was up his usual pole
And this afternoon the sun shone on the lakes when I did my late afternoon round.
Have a good Sunday, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Have fun with the new challenge, love what you have made. Beautiful photos, too. Have a nice Sunday, hugs Sarah

Beautiful page, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI think this theme is right up your alley! Your imagination always takes flight. So often your images fly around with or without wings! Your colors are well suited for flights of fancy. Just popping in ...
