May the road rise up to meet you

Hi Everybody!

First of all I would like to wish a very happy St Patrick's day tomorrow to all wearers of the green who are celebrating. This Irish blessing is one of my faves:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

For Tag Tuesday I made a hybrid tag for Wilma's hares and rabbits challenge  using images from Mr Whiskers collage sheet and  Gecko Galz:




Wild, wet and windy weather is always enjoyed by the water birds:










Sorry, shorter post than usual, my fingers are extremely painful and I have problems typing.

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

  8. Oh I do love that tag Valerie. For this challenge you have lots of Alice in Wonderland tags but they are fun to see. (And to make for most likely too). Nice seeing all the birds out enjoying the weather also. Our herons haven't come this far north yet, but every day we are getting closer. Hope your weekend is going well. Hugs-Erika

  19. Hello Dear Valerie, that is a beautiful greeting/blessing. The rabbit/bunny tags is lovely.
    Those Herons always make for delightful photos as do the seagulls and ducks. They're happy little visitors, content to play around the water and on the rocks.
    Do take care and don't overtire your fingers/hands... all the very best :D) xx

  21. Just coming by on my weekly visit...
    I have never had much time for St Paddy's day, here in Scotland no one pays any attention to it, but I do love your blessing and that tag is wonderful! As is your blog header :o)
    Super photos too, wow, that water certainly looks wild.... We have been having ghastly weather here too, with snow yesterday for the first time this year. But thank goodness it's gone again. Anyway, happy Sunday and have a good week!

  22. Wonderful art and photos Valerie, & I love your bunny header! We have a rabbit at animal rescue called Ed, who looks exactly like that. He's an 'Old English' breed I think, and he's gorgeous!
    Happy Sunday,
