TGIF

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday and the sun is shining - what can be better than that? We've had good weather these past days, not warm, but dry and with some sunny intervals, so great weather for walking, and I have been out and about as much as possible, stopping off for a coffee and a rest here and there, too.

I have another 10" tag for our challenge 'birds, nests and eggs' at Tag Tuesday. You don't need to use all three of the ideas on your tags, any part or combination is fine. At TT it should be about having creative fun and not sticking to too many rules! I used a painted, dripped, stenciled and napkin-collaged background. My 'tree' and nest were made from twigs and dried grass, the feathers are found ones, and the egg is again out of a packet from the Euro shop. The quote is a TH stamp. The little birds are vintage German scrap. I sewed the painted paper on to a coordinating background:

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday, and Simon Monday challenge, play with paint.

And some photos from a little walk through Hofgarten, a park in the centre of Düsseldorf. Felix Mendelsohn Bartholdy has been given a purple scarf ( the park is next to the opera house):

This swan was busy cleaning itself:

Others were just swanning around and enjoying the sun:

The blossoms are beautiful:

My fave deer keeps watch over everything:

The grass verges next to the tram-lines are well planted:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
