Frosty weather

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.
It is very cold, misty and frosty here, and we need to walk
carefully so as not to slip.

For Art Journal Journey, Light and darkness, I made a hybrid piece using a photo
of the moon taken from my window for the background. I cut the  silhouettes
many moons ago, and this time they are jumping over the moon. The stars are from Mischief Circus.




I enjoyed my freezing walk this morning, well wrapped up against
the cold. The mist was quite dense, and the ground covered with a layer of frost:




It was strange not to be able to see the Rhine!


The sun kept trying to come out:





The frozen plants looked lovely:






The roses in the hospital garden froze, too:


I gave this photo a digital makeover to use it as a card - feel free to use it if you like it.

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

  5. I'm over the moon and trying to reach the stars. Of course, I am not as good at making silhouettes similar to yours, though.

    Those photos make me feel frozen. I can't believe how the weather changed, seemingly overnight. We still have green leaves on some of our trees. I am in awe of the gorgeous photos. Some are truly award winning, in my opinion.

    Hope your day is going well. I'm off to bed in a few minutes. No staying up all night tonight, I fear.

  11. Wunderschön - wie deine Silhouetten zum Mond springen und zwischen den Sternen landen, wunderschön mit der Lichtumrandung und dem Nachtblau!
    Deine Fotos vom Nebel und Frost sind traumhaft! Mein Favorit ist das 7. - die Bäume und Äste fast in Schwarz-Weiß (ein Licht-Dunkel-Bild).
    Schönen Sonntag! LG Rike

  12. Your couple jumping over the moon that you made many moons ago, haha!, are terrific. They look joyful and the background universe is magical.
    Really love all the frosty photos, I wish we could have a good hard cold frost instead of this namby-pamby weather we have been having.

  17. What wonderful post Valerie! Living in Florida, I do miss snow and cold weather. I love bundling up to go out and cooking fantastic cold weather stews. I am afraid I have no desire to jump at the moment but my heart sure does jump to the occasion! Love your digital card! And all of your pictures are do delightful!

  23. Love the art and the quote ! Our Monday today looks much like this. The husband will be complaining about it when he gets home but I think it's beautiful. But then he has to drive a long distance in it and I don't .
