Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
For Tag Tuesday I have another tag. It was put together digitally, using hand-painted papers for the background and a photo of Frida Kahlo, one of my favourite artists. The flowers are from Serif:
And some more pictures from last Sunday's walk....After leaving the botanical garden we drove to the Rhine and crossed over with the ferry. The first 3 pics were taken by my friend H:
After arriving in Orsoy, a tiny, walled town, the first thing we saw was this bee house, which can be opened to look into it:
We walked along the old walls under the trees:
There was an old cemetery outside the walls:
This group of homing pigeons was flying loops:
Loved the colourful cow:
An old 'Lore' - a wagon for pulling coals in the mine:
The view over to the cooling-tower on the other side:
We found a shady seat outside a wayside cafe and were able to have refreshments and watch what was going on in the little town:
And the crows watched us to see if they could beg some food:
The rest of the photos will follow in my next post!
Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Frida certainly lived up to that phrase. Your tag is lovely and I can't think of a better person I would like to honor.
ReplyDeleteThat bee house is wonderful. It's great to see bees are doing well. I haven't seen a bee in YEARS.
LOVELY photos of the cemetery and I enjoyed the lane with trees on both sides. I see people in Germany are smart enough to know which side of the road to drive on (grin)! Hope your day is going well, dear.
Yes, Germany is not the same as England!
DeleteStunning tag, such beauty here and the colours are amazing. Beautiful photos too.xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Val! Looks like it's going to be another scorcher. Love your beautiful Frida tag, she was a talented, determined and very brave woman. Great photos of Orsoy, it's a pretty place. Have a lovely day, keep cool! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteYou always create interest within every photograph Valerie a perfect eyes view, beautiful scenery and I so love the bee's hive.

beautiful tag!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely, what a beautiful day,
Stunning tag. I enjoyed the walk today. So cool that you could get a peek inside the beehive. It was good to see so many bees. I haven’t seen many this year. Very sad. I love the mix of old and new along your walk. Old buildings, machinery, and then the modern cooling tower. Lovely graves with the green things growing. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of bees here, my balcony is buzzing all day.
DeleteWow! Frida is glorious! And it looks like you had a fabulous walk. I especially loved the spotted cow, too! So colorful and happy!
ReplyDeleteLove your piece.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outing. That cow is great!
Hugs

Super tag - love the colorful background - just perfect for Frida!!!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I am loving your Frida tag. The bold colors are so pretty. That is really cool that you can open the bee house. I would love to keep bees but not sure I want to get stung. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteKate
Thanks. I have an insect "hotel" on my balcony and love watching them, especially the bees.
ReplyDeleteLovely tag.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are such a great mix, I always enjoy being around trees, so I especially enjoyed your tree pictures.
Hope your weekend was good.
All the best Jan
I always love your walks along the Rhine. Your photos are so beautiful and bring a lot of peace and tranquility into my normally chaotic work day (I usually see/open your feed email at work since it arrives mid-morning my time). Oh, and I love your art, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a 'No thank you' to opening the bee house.
ReplyDeleteHeh.
Hope you are doing well.
Hugs
The colourful cow is my favourite, Valerie!!!!!!!!!!!!
