Autumn sunshine

Hi Everybody!

Today we were blessed with sunshine after several days of 
grey in grey.  I like all weathers, but it is really special
when the sun shines.

At Art Journal Journey,  our Indian summer theme is
coming to a close, and it has been fun to see all the lovely
entries linked to us.  I have a mixed media piece with some digital additions:




And today I am sharing some photos of this beautiful Autumn day, taken at Schloss Kalkum:













The Heron was posing at the stream by our house:






Autumn colours along the Rhine:


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  3. It looks like a gorgeous day Valerie. You got some wonderful photos. We've had another dark and wet day, but since I woke up feeling under the weather it was ok with me. I got nothing done, but, so be it. Loving your hybrid piece today. The fox and deer really finish it off beautifully. :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika

  11. I am in awe of the duck. You captured the feathers perfectly. Very impressive. Although the heron is gorgeous, those feathers on the duck just blew me away.

    That was a lovely AJJ entry. Totally impressive. I wish I'd had more time to create more Indian Summer entries this month. Yours are fantastic, including this one.

  12. Very beautiful page Valerie and a big thumbs up to all of the photographs today. It certainly makes the water sparkle when the sun shines. It was dull and dark yesterday for us and is the same again today unfortunately

    Enjoy your day

  15. Fabulous autumnal piece again Valerie, my favourite muted autumnal colours, love those painted animals, did you do them? They are brilliant!
    Beautiful photos too of course, Autumn this seems to show mostly yellow this year, at least in our parts.

    Also I apologize that you seem to have issues when visiting my posts, no idea why this should be, no one else has told me they experience this....
    Have a happy Sunday! (It seems to be the only day I have time to visit these days, sorry about that)....

  16. Just thinking how vibrant and striking your end of month montage will be like with all your indian summer pages. This one must be one of my favourites with the fox and deer looking back at us there. XOXO

  18. Absolutely gorgeous spread today Valerie!
    I can feel the sunshine you are experiencing ")
    We have no sun, but extremely warm temps right now-
    Your photography is so impressive with the beautiful shots you achieve, thank you so much for sharing these!
    I saw your comment over on Astrid's about how you were hijacked during commenting, I have also had this happen from various google affiliated sites-is it a bug or a gremlin? hopefully it will cease soon- it is very annoying!
    Happy Sunday dear Valerie! xx

  20. Wieder so eine schöne mixed media Seite. Und die Herbstsonne hat dich wieder sooo schöne Fotos machen lassen. Mein Favorit ist der schöne Reiher, den du so meisterlich auf die Linse gebannt hast, ein Traum. ABer auch alle anderen Bilder sind klasse gemacht.
    Schönen Abend und liebe Grüße
    Sabine
