Coffee, woods and lakes

Hi Everybody!
For Chris'  nice theme, '101 ways to keep warm', at
a digital piece. The images are from Serif.
This is one of my fave ways of keeping warm. For those
who need more exercise I recommend doing
some fun shopping first....




Yesterday I went on a trip with G & H, 2 of my good 
buddies. We went to Duisburg, a neighbouring town.
 First we went for a walk through the 'Sechs Seen Platte', 
an area with 6 huge lakes and wonderful wooded trails. 
The weather was cold but sunny,
and we enjoyed marching along the trails and admiring
the beauty of the autumn landscape:








G kindly acted as leaf holder:









More photos of the lakes and the other places we 
visited will be following!

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

  1. Love the dew/water droplets on the leaves Valerie and the photos don't look 'cold' in fact they are warm to me. Your digi project is fabulous...bright and cheery. Take care and hope you are well now.xxx[aNNie]🎄

  3. I think your ladies are into shoes and clothes. And of course, coffee, too. really adorable digital entry.

    My favorite photo was the single leaf on the ground. It spoke to me. Looks like you captured autumn in all its glory, too. Hope you are feeling well.

  4. A gorgeous digital piece Valerie.
    Such a beautifully serene walk to have taken with your friends. I love all the colours in the leaves and from reflections of the lake.
    Good cheer to you :D) xx

  6. That is a fun page today. :) I think that will be me tomorrow-and it is suppose to be really cold- like winter temperatures, so I think so hot tea will be what I need. And that lake looks like a fabulous place to walk. It might have been cool but it looks like a gorgeous day, and as long as you dress correctly, a brisk walk is always a good thing. :)Happy Thursday. Hugs-Erika

  7. You have some great ideas about keeping warm. Good food, good company, good tea, good outing. Your photos are just gorgeous. I tried capturing dew drops on some clover that's still blooming, but the iphone camera just didn't make it look good. Or I didn't know how to make it look good. One or the other or both. Have a lovely day

  15. I can almost hear the hum of the chatter as the girls on your journal page sit together and enjoy a warm cup of coffee.
    The woodland walk looked a lovely area. The leaves are a wonderful colour, did they crunch as you walked over them. I love the sound it makes.

  22. I'm always stunned at the lusciousness of this kind of countryside, with its vivid greens and changing colours in autumn - so very different from where I live (South Australia, beautiful, but much drier and no colour changes in autumn, well, not many).

    Thanks so much for sharing your lovely photos.

    Best wishes,
    Liz
