2nd on the 2nd

Hi Everybody!

Tomorrow is Sunday and the 2nd of the month, so time for Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd where we re-show posts made in the past. I have 2 Modigliani knock-offs made and posted  back in April 2014:











Some miscellaneous photos from the past few days.
Ducks in Düsseldorf:


The evening sun at the Rhine:


A cormorant:



Masked horses - we had a lot of little flies:


My walking buddy Harry having a rest:


I found another swing:





 Lots of geese:



This horse was very friendly:





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

  6. You look lie you are having so much fun on your walks Valerie. It is nice to find someone to walk with I think. Love the photos and also the review of your art. I remember these well! And I think they are as good for this second view as they were back originally. Hope June has started off well for you. nd that you got lots of steps today. I hit over 19,000. Hurrah. Hugs-Erika

    1. Well done on those steps. I get plenty in each day, motivated by the thought of a small bitter-choc ice if I do more than 19000! Mostly it's round 23000, that ice tastes soooo good!

  10. The Modigliani portraits are a fun style. Your first one reminds me of Charlie Chaplin. The evening sun picture of the Rhine is just stunning. You have such a good eye for taking photos. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

  13. Your "Modiglianis" are wonderful... I especially love the first one. The colours seem to glow and his face has such character. And there's something about the inclusion of the tissue tape which is so magical.

    Great photos as always (leaf silhouettes against the sky - wonderful!), and fun on the swings too. We have a pair of ducks which are always perched on the roof of the house opposite. The other day when it was very wet they were down on our driveway enjoying the puddle-ponds created and looking so happy!

  15. I absolutely LOVE your Modigliani faces. They are really inspiring and amazing. Your knowledge of the artist shows in your work and it's an absolutely PERFECT second look on the 2nd. Thanks so much for sharing it.

    Birds and horses! What could be better this Sunday. The photos are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing them along with your second look, dear friend.

    1. Thanks. Birds and horses are my faves. And sheep, and cows and....

  16. Your walks always look enjoyable, and the animal variety is interesting. I get a kick out of seeing animals we have here (mallard ducks, for example) and animals I never see when I'm out and about (like the cormorant).
