Hi Everybody!
It's weekend - enjoy! Today I have lots of photos taken on my walks by the Rhine - a place where I can relax and just enjoy peace and quiet, wind, water and birds. This is an abstract stitched collage showing an interpretation of the Rhine, the buildings along it, the bridges, and of course the birds:
Here a few photos taken last week on my walks:
There are even some 'beaches', covered in pebbles and shells:
Love the name of this ship:
And my big feet enjoying a rest:
Have a fantastic weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
That stitching is fabulous. What a clever piece to make and I can pull out the bridge from all your photos. I think it was a smart choice from all your walks. And fantastic photos again too. Those cornflowers ( the blue ones) are so pretty. And red sneakers-very stylish! Happy weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! I love my red sneakers, too!
DeleteHi Val! It's looking storm here, so I hope you will be home if it gets bad where you are. LOVE that wonderful collage, and how you made the river, so clever. And the photos are wonderful, it's always lovely to walk along the river, and the flowers are very abundant and colourful. And I love your red sneakers! Have a great day, we're off to my mum's soon. Hugs, Sarah

Love the abstract stitched art piece...so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always stunningly beautiful...even your " big feet" :)
The Grace Kelly is a nice name and what a beautiful lady she was.
Hugs ❤
She was indeed a beautiful woman and I was happy to see this lovely ship named after her.
DeleteWow, what a creative work and magical place☺
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia!
DeleteWhat a clever interpretation of your scenery! Your Rhine looks so beautiful with so many kinds of flowers. I'm loving those bushy blue ones. I had a pair of sneakers (tennies) like those! Enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteThanks! 'Tennies' is a nice name. We used to call them 'plimsolls' at school!
DeleteBeautiful all of this. Love the new red, white and blue walkers...xx
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good walker! I wish my feet and hips would hold out for as many miles as you must put in. Serious fitness. And beautiful things you see, both when you shoot the towns and then this beautiful countryside and beach.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
I love your river interpretation :) and the nature photography is always enjoyable. What a nice spot to put up your feet!
ReplyDeleteHi Valerie, your abstract stitchery is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed seeing your photos of The Rhine. The wildflowers, sandy, shelly beaches, all very different to what I imagined. How lovely to live in one of those houses tucked in the nearby trees.
I would love to walk there too.
Your red walkers are gorgeous! xx
Great art piece and I loved all the photos-Happy weekend hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. I thought I left a comment many hours ago. Instead, I fell asleep in my computer chair, then left it later to sleep on the couch. My life is in some kind of turmoil I can't exactly explain right now.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely ADORE the beautiful abstract journal entry you made of the Rhine and buildings along it. How you interpreted the water and the bridge with your sewing was genius. I am in total awe.
Loved seeing the photos, too. They were awesome. Nature at its best. The wildflowers and shells made for great photos. Your new shoes shine, too (grin).
Great shoes and a good place to rest your feet. Love your art work. So good to see where you go walking, I like that blue flowering bush by the river.
ReplyDeleteIts a fabulous abstract journal page, I can see how your photos from your walks inspired you.
ReplyDeleteSuper shoes as well. You deserve to put your feet up and take a well earned rest.
Have a good week.
