Beautiful, endangered nature

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy! It's grey and rainy here, but that will not stop me from going for a walk, and I am very thankful for the rain which we need so badly here.

Today I have another tag for Joan's challenge at Tag Tuesday, 'trees' Hope to see some others joining in, too. This tag was made from one of my autumn photos for the background. My balcony black-bird is also there. The other elements were added in Serif. The photo behind the tag is the same one, just faded:


The world around us is beautiful, whatever the weather. We need to protect nature and not destroy it!
Sunrise from my balcony:








Sunflowers and bees:







Even a walk through the mist can be wonderful:









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

  2. Good morning Val! Wow, what a wonderful post, so full of beauty, love everything. And those misty pics with the wind blowing the leaves down, so gorgeous - who would have thought that mist could be so beautiful? Great tag, too, and very fitting for your post. We're off to Mum's today, and will be staying till tomorrow, so have lots to pack for the kids. Have a great weekend, hugs, Sarah

  4. Your balcony blackbird is very appealing, and your photographs delightful. They are quite atmospheric and almost send one to the closet for a warm coat! Well done!

  5. Cool tag Valrie. I like how you used one of your photos. It really makes a super background. And those foggy photos are pretty amazing! We had some of that fog yesterday on my drive to work. It is always quite pretty, as long as you don't have to drive through it in some busy traffic area. Have a fabulous weekend. Hugs-Erika

    1. Thanks. The mist here is not as bad as the fog and smog I remember growing up in London. Driving in fog is not nice, that's for sure!

  12. Love the tag and the photos. The bird silhouette is great but I love the misty, wet photos of your walk the best. Of course the sunflowers and bees always touch my heart!!!

  13. I love that Autumn tag with the gorgeous colors. "Harmony" is the perfect word for it :)

    Those sunflowers add a bright spot in a rainy day. We're actually in drought right now, having only had one light rain during the last month. Fall will eventually bring rain, but summertime won't let go yet.

  19. Thank you for weekend best wishes! Loved the sunflower photos. We still have lots of sun around but morings and nights are getting colder. The tag is beautiful. I have many blackbirds in the neighbourwood! So glad they're around.

  20. I just now got back online. The lightening knocked out my internet. when it finally came back on, I was just cycling through my passwords when another lightening strike took it offline again.

    I love, love, love your latest tag. It is beautiful. I love the digital work you do, too.

    Sunflowers and bees. Two very important things in my life, too. I noticed that everyone in this and your previous post are in coats or jackets. I'm still wearing sleeveless tops and shorts everywhere. It must be nice to actually feel autumn is about to arrive in your area. As for our endangered nature, you are preaching to the choir, dear.

  21. So nice to see the sun coming up from your balcony. Your tag is beautiful, great colours. Love a walk in the most, makes everything look mysterious 😁. Wonderful to see the sunflowers and bees, the bees are so important to our food production.

  23. And good morning! My blackbird just sung. I answered you in my blog. Tell me, do you get my answers if I write on my blog? I don't know if that thing works or not. I don't mind visting here to answer. I wrote like this: Hi Val! The words in the post aren't straightforward, I played a bit with irony, twisted the sense of it and probably Google Translator works best when people write in a plain way, I mean, descriptive, literally. But I think you got it. We have this new video promoting the center of Portugal and a wise gay feels uncomfortable because the girl in the video has dark skin. She plays a tourist. The video works as a game. So, the viewer picked up a player at the start-that girl. Then she roams the country, performs some tasks, gets some sleep and finally, she arrives destination and joins McNamara. They will surf together. He says that what this is not a game, this is real. I think this is a fresh concept for this kind of video and enjoyed it. I also find McNamara a cool man. Brave and so nice to everyone. The opposite of that prick who commented on the video. I think the video still lacks a bit of emotion. But the one fault that one guy found was the black girl. He just wrote about his prejudice against black people visiting our country. What a lousy player.

    1. There are so many prejudiced people here, too. There are good people and bad people, but it has nothing to do with skin colour, race, religion or whatever. But I like the concept of the video!

  33. One of my favourite posts of yours ever... starting with that magnificent tree tag using your photo - just magical. Then the sunrise photos with that stunning tree silhouette, the magnificent sunflowers, and then the mystical "season of mists and mellow fruitfulness", and finally that perfect bird and branch silhouetted against the glorious sky. Really a wonderful post, Valerie, thank you.
