Hi Everybody!
Today we had a real Sunday with lots of sun, so I was able
to spend a lotof time outdoors,which was good.
There were lots of people running through
to spend a lotof time outdoors,which was good.
There were lots of people running through
town, taking part in a half marathon from Düsseldorf to Duisburg. One of the runners stripped off his clothes at the tram stop and
jumped into new ones which a helper was holding for him....
I was so surprised I even forgot to take a photo!
For art journal journey, Indian Summer, have another hybrid piece,
made with a painted, dripped and stamped background, a painted face,
a bird-on-a-branch photo and some digital add ons. Sitting on a bench and enjoying the autumnal surroundings is something I like very much!
Yesterday we went to the farm shop to buy eggs again and so I have more pictures of the new pumpkin creations:
The autumn foliage is very much in evidence:
The buzzard has been back these past days. He swooped off the branch
directly after the photos and dived onto his dinner in the field:
And as I was standing on the balcony this airship floated by:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Fabulous page, and I love all the photographs.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic and imaginative page, with beautiful colours. The photos are top notch again, love the buzzard especially. And the funny story of the stripper! Hugs, Sarah

Just as well you missed that photo lol! Beautiful page, love the touch of someone sitting enjoyably on the bench. The pumpkins look good as do your beautiful leaf shots.
ReplyDeleteNew header? Beautiful colours and just a delightful array of photos and page I am loving the gorgeous pumpkin displays and the most beautiful colours on the leaves ....love this one...No photo of the stipper? Valerie, you are slipping back LOL, xx {aNNie}
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos - this is my favorite season, and of course I enjoy your images very much. Your art journal page is wonderful - I like everything in it. Your choice of colors is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteYes, WDR - I used to listen to it in my teens (WDR 2 at that time). Nice memories.
Autumn indeed has its own beauty, one onlt have to look around you. A stunning journal page and an awesome photo journal. Lol re the stripping runner. Done quite a lot of half marathons myself but never needed to strip into clean clothes.

Your AJJ entry is wonderful, but I confess the star of the show today seems to be all the wonderful colors of autumn, even the ones on your AJJ entry. You are SO lucky to get such incredible photos. It's still hot here and it's still green here. You have such wonderful colors to choose from, I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteEine fabelhafte Seite Valerie..ganz verträumt! Herrliche Aufnahmen sind das und ich hoffe der Läufer, der sich öffentlich umgezogen hat, war wenigstens gut gebaut...lol!

The autumn muse face is fabulous Valerie. Very clever to use leaves as her hair. :) Its a wonderful fall page. Sounds like you had a busy weekend too. I love the photos from the farm store. Those hay bale scarecrows are great. Feels like fall. Happy Monday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThe park bench makes your journal page work so well!
ReplyDeleteThe photographs ... phew... tumble through buzzards, airships into the most beautiful colours and foliage ... you're really spoiling us
Gorgeous photos. And I love your art page...especially the person sitting reading!! Really enjoying a day out in the Autumn park.
ReplyDeleteAutumn has definitely come to your world. I love both the page and the wonderful photos. So many happy pumpkins. I can see why that cyclist was out there!
ReplyDeleteToday is a perfect day to do what your reader on the bench is doing, a bit more of indian summer here today and yesterday. Love the faces on those pumpkins. Too cute. xox
ReplyDeleteDang! Too bad you didn't get the pic of the runner. Ha Ha.
ReplyDeleteLove the fall art piece!!!! Summer is still my all time favorite season but I do love the colors of fall and the cooler temps. It's warmer this week than it has been lately kind of an Indian Summer going on :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you say he stripped off Valerie - do you mean completely? are you sure you're not keeping the photo just for yourself ha ha :)
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful colours and art on your AJJ page. Which reminds me I have a couple to blog still that I made a week ago. Besides a bit of gardening, I've been making Christmas cards to try and get that chore out of the way - 53 made so far :(
Great photos as always - the pumpkin people are fabulous :)
Have a great week ... Gill xx

ReplyDeleteEine märchenhafte Szene hast du da gestaltet, gäbe ein schönes Buchcover ab. Gefällt mir sehr. Die Fotos von den Kürbismännchen und den tollen Herbstblättern gefallen mir auch sehr.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße

I love this art page. It is very clever how you show the girl on the bench and the close-up of her face. She looks lost in another world, conjured up by the book she is reading. Love it! hugs, Teresa
