T stands for TIOT and more

Hi Everybody!

On Tuesday we are starting a new challenge at TIOT -

Let your light shine.

As always, projects of all formats are allowed, and you have

2 weeks to link your creations to us.

I have always been fascinated by the sun, moon and stars, and by

Egypt, pyramids and cats, so this journal page came together

very easily. The background was hand painted, the moon and pyramid

are photos, and the figure of Bastet as goddess and cat were 

hand drawn and painted, as was the eye. I assembled it all

in my graphics programme, and added the stars (Mischief Circus)

At Tag Tuesday we are half way through Wilma's cake challenge,

so I made another muffin tag:

The muffin also leads us to Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday,

which is celebrating it's 4th anniversary today -

congratulations! I am looking forward to joining in the

ATC swap.

I have a 'drinks' photo taken on the day we visited the Botanical gardens.

After leaving the gardens, we went to a lovely restaurant

in the middle of a garden allotment colony, and enjoyed

cake, coffee and cold drinks. I'm afraid we only have the empty 

cups and plates to show:

The restaurant was surrounded by beautiful cottage type gardens:

From there we went to Süd Park (South Park!)

There is a farm there with some delightful animals. The farm and park

are cared for by mentally handicapped people, who, under supervision,

 work with the animals, 

do the gardening, and  run a shop and restaurant there:

The goats found themselves a few inches of shadow on a very hot day:

This huge lady was enjoying her midday snooze and did not want

to be disturbed:

The gardens there are beautifully kept, and there are

lots of ponds and lakes:

Tomorrow I will show some of the fluffy  inhabitants

of the lakes.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
