Hi Everybody!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend, as I did. We had very mixed weather again, with sunshine, blue skies, grey clouds, wind and some occasional showers, but all in all it was good weather for walking and I did a lot of that!
Today I have another tag for Wendy's theme at Tag Tuesday.
There's still a week to join in, so hope to see YOU there!
I made a hybrid tag using a painted background with 'my' head, and some added elements from Serif. The lighthouse was stamped:
Tuesday is time for Elizabeth's T stands tor Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T gang. Nelya recently made a feast to celebrate her birthday, and here are a few of the wonderful treats:
Coffee in my fave mug:
This is a baked spinach, onion and cheese omelette I made last week, adapting a recipe from Jan. I left the bacon out as Harry doesn't eat meat, and it was very delicious:
And I remembered to drink plenty of fluids:
Good news:
We walked a lot this week:
A few photos from yesterday's loooong walk along the Rhine and across various bridges:
Not my feet!:
My next post will show more photos and a special series of '42s' for the Hitchhikers!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Good morning Val! Hope you weather is good again today, the sun is shining here. Another wonderful post. Love the tag, so much to see under the sea! Great photos, glad you have been able to get out and about in spite of the inclement weather. Nice that you have a walking buddy, it's always more fun that on your own. Glad the black swan is not alone any more, either. Nelya made a great spread for her birthday yummy! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow! I love all the photos you shared! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful work you’ve done and a lovely walk as well, I like that sign of the tradesman, it’s very unique! Oh the food, yummy!
ReplyDeleteSuper tag Valerie. This is a fun theme and I love all the images you used to create this magical view. And your friend loves to bake. Yum. Talk about a lot of delicious looking nibbles. I am curious what the pistachio covered item is. And yahoo, Mr. Black Swan was there. Maybe he was out getting food every time you went by. Looks like great walking too. It is the beauty of living in/near a city so you can take different directions. Hope its a great new week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt's a sort of pistachio roll filled with nougat, sesame paste and more delightful things. The swan was treated for an injury.
DeleteFun tag. Makes me think of Summer, and I'm dreaming about that, too. Oh, all the food! I'm so glad looking at food pictures doesn't add up calories! Seeing Mr. Swan back made me smile. Your photos are just glorious. I'm especially taken with that bright cobalt blue as that shade is my favorite. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie what a beautiful tag ,gorgeous work my friend.wow so much yummy food,thankyou for sharing your lovely pics with us Valerie xx
ReplyDeleteYour tag is fantastic! I love it. The desserts look delicious, as does the omelette. I like your coffee mug. And I was so happy to see the good news photos. Do you know if it is the missing male, or a new one who is now keeping her company? The scenes in your walking photos are beautiful. It looks like you had some nice weather this past week. I like the architecture there.
ReplyDeleteIts the same one, He was evidently injured
DeleteYour pie seems really yummy, Valerie. And I llllove the photos with the feet (not yours) and your beautiful mug!!! As for your tag, it is simply amazing!!!!!! Hugs, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mermaid tag, happy birthday to Nelya, delicious food! Your quiche looks amazing. Glad you are out doing your walks.

The tag looks fabulous, I love how you make us look carefully to see the details, the lighthouse and galleon in your head looked awesome.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the photos from your walks, but have to admit seeing the Black swans together was a happy moment for me. I do hope it was her mate returning.
All the food looked delicious , I am pleased I am not hungry just now or I would be off raiding the cake tin.
Happy T day wishes Valerie, your favourite coffee mug looked fun.
Yvonne xx
Oh I love the tag, it is gorgeous! The food looks yummy too. Your photos are delightful as well...
ReplyDeleteFirst, the water is finally out of the basement, but the walls are still damp. I have bleached everything, and don't seem to have any mold. Second, although I should begin with other things, I just had to nearly jump for joy when I saw the male black swan. If only he could share his tale of where he's been. Just WONDERFUL news.
ReplyDeleteNow for the tag. This is delightful. It's a beauty and the colors and images are perfect.
I enjoyed the rest of your walk, and it was super to see so many new-to-me sights. Fun and interesting photos.
T this week was a joy. Your friend made so many wonderful goodies. That favorite mug had me laughing. Your friend knows how to celebrate her birthday and those strawberries looked awesome. Of course, the coffee and cappuccino looked like something I would love to share with you, dear. Thanks for sharing your art, your friend's birthday meal, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday. And thanks for such great news about the black swan, too.
Beautiful pictures from your walks. And of course I am loving that mermaid tag.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been one feast for your friends birthday. So many tasty looking treats. Especially the one with the strawberries on top.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Hola Valerie, beautiful photos of your walk, it's so lovely to see them.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberry tart looks delicious, mouthwatering just looking at it as does all the food you've shown. Love the cute mug! I love the hanging plant, is it Wisteria, beautiful colour.
Happy T Day

Yes, it is wisteria.
DeleteThe tag is impressive. I've been looking at mermaids lately with the thought of painting one. It is always a delight to visit places through your excellent photos.
ReplyDeleteDrink plenty of fluids: Heh.
ReplyDeleteThat wisteria is gorgeous.
Really wonderful mermaid tag. The background makes everything pop. Great food photos and I agree that wisteria is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFabulous tag! The strawberry tart looks so delicious and is one of my favourites, it bought back memories of Paris as I always choose this when I go to a French patisserie and their are a lot of patisseries there (grin!) - yum 😉. Such fun photos this week too and I'm glad the black swans are doing ok. Sending you happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely tag, Valerie. It took me a moment to figure out what you meant about "your head." That's a very cool effect and creates an unusual frame for the sky and birds. All that beautiful food is making me hungry. As always, I enjoy walking along with you on your photo adventures. Such beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Eileen xx
Lovely tag! Oh, and the food looks so good! I want to be that person with their feet up looking at the water! Looking at your photos, I realize I forgot to show the photos of the geese in our front yard and photos from my walk! Oh, well, there is always next time!
ReplyDeleteWow … so much to see in this post.
ReplyDeleteLove your tag.
Love the look of Nelya's feast.
Love that the omelette turned out well, it looks delicious (thanks for the link back to the recipe)
Love, love, love that there are two black swans again.
Hope your weather is as good as ours is, we've had some beautiful sunshine in my part of the UK.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the week.
All the best Jan
What a feast! YUM! So many tasty looking treats. :) The omelette looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour tag is beautiful- love the sea theme.
We've been having a lot of rain here. Cooler than usual too. Hoping for sunshine soon. So happy to see your two swans back together. :)

I love your tag and your mermaid looks pleased with the little scene you put her in! It looks as though you are not the only one preparing lovely food too! Happy to see the swans back together! Your walks always look so full of interesting places to visit! It seem I still haven't got the phone commenting right as I tried 5 times last night and I have just checked back and I see I need to repeat what I did for the last two posts too!! Belated Happy T Day! Chrisx
