Frosty weather

Hi Everybody!

Today we are beginning a new challenge at TIOT -

silhouettes

Projects of all formats are allowed, as long as you keep to the theme.

You have two weeks to join us, so hope to see you on our blog!

I made a hybrid collage using various photos . The background is the morning sky in winter,  the herons are always standing at the Rhine fishing, and the wild ducks are also a familiar sight here. I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, winter wonderland.

For Wen's Simply Neutrals I digitally altered a photo of the entrance to the Basilica here. I added the beautiful statue which Wen allowed us to use some weeks back. I changed the background, layering my photo with one of my old documents. The stones were photographed at the Rhine, the little cherub usually sits on my window ledge, and the other piece is from one of the windows here.

I am also linking to 'famous people' at Moo Mania and More.

 Today is also T stands for Tuesday over at Elizabeth's blog, so a big hello to all the T Gang.

Today I am sharing my creamed tomato soup embellished with a splodge of sour cream:

And we are not finished yet....

This is known as a 'pig's ear' here, and you can really make a pig of yourself with them.

And to wash it down, cappuccino - what else?

After an icy night the day dawned with lots of beautiful colours:

When it was light I could see the frost sparkling on the trees and bushes:

My morning walk took me first along the stream, through the frosty fields:

And I just loved the frosted leaves:

I felt frosted myself by the time I came home, and was happy to drink a large mug of hot coffee.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
