Monkey business and more

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. Today I am sharing a hybrid 
piece using a face I drew some years back, placed on 
a hand-painted and textured BG and with some leaves 
and flowers from Mischief Circus:




Yesterday we had quite a lot of sun, and started the day
with a great sunrise:









And in the evening we were treated to the full moon, 
which made it a great day for me:


 On Sunday we visited the zoo in Krefeld, a neighbouring 
town, and today I just want to share some pics of this 
rather bored looking chap:




It's always good to be able to show one's feelings....

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

  6. Cool journal page today Valerie. She looks like she's a stylish spy or maybe she's just a cool snooping neighbor. Either way I love her and your page. And wow-you caught the moon perfectly. We had some clouds so even though we could see the moon it wasn't clear. :( And I guess that chimp was smart enough to know how he felt about all those folks in the zoo. Hope you had a great visit to the zoo and have more to show us. Hugs-Erika

  8. Your moon photo is lovely! We saw it too, though not so big! But I missed the one that was supposed to hit here at 6:30 in the morning! That's probably the one you saw -- it was supposed to be spectacular!

  12. Although pink is not my favorite color, I certainly love your beautiful woman. She is beautiful and so is your lovely hybrid journal page.

    I loved the moon shot. I heard it was a super red, blue moon. It was certainly beautiful the way you captured it.

    Those morning shots are fabulous, but the bored gorilla said it all when it came to those watching him! Can't wait to see more zoo photos.

  13. Wonderful journal page. It's always exciting to meet someone who understands things the same way. Gorgeous photos. Love the illumination on the vertical contrails. Didn't get to see the moon last night as skies were cloudy. I'll just have to wait until 2032. The gorillia certainly knows how to express himself. Or is a finger just a finger? :-D

  14. Lovely artwork and smashing photos. That Gorilla looks like he could be a bit mean.

  15. Love the face emerging from the foliage on your page Valerie. Wonderful photo of the moon, although I didn't see it until about 7pm, it looks so bright tonight.
    The gorilla does look bored and he looks like he's leaving no one in any doubt.

  16. The face is wonderful and the quote fascinating. I love your photos as well, my camera doesn't do night photographs very well. I'm hoping to remember to go out and see the moon tonight...

  17. Its a beautiful hybrid page Valerie, Your painting of the fave is wonderful the way you have her looking from behind the flowers and leaves.
    The photos looked great, we have to much cloud to see the moon tonight.
    You captured the gorilla in the photo at just the right time. I'm sure we could all think of a few captions to add to that one.

  18. A great post with a super title :o)
    The face on your journal page is so expressive, the photos are stunning that full moon has the real wow factor, and then the zoo (I always have mixed feelings about zoos), but that ape really made me smile...

  32. Words have color and texture to me- so this quote really speaks to me. :)

    The sky and moon pictures are so captivating. My moon pictures never come out as good as I want them to!

    Love the contemplative look on the gorilla's face!
