Hi Everybody!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend. We had another day of sunshine and blue skies, bit it's still rather cool. I walked along the Rhine, through a park and visited some feathered and 4 legged friends at the farm at the end of our street, so all in all, it was enjoyable. And this afternoon I sat in my armchair, put my feet up, and when I woke up my coffee was cold....
I have another hybrid piece put together in Serif, using elements from Mischief Circus, Serif and me. The lovely quote is from Oscar Wilde .
'With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?':
I am linking to AJJ, Mia's 'flowers' challenge
Some photos from the park:
On the riding stables:
At the farm:
Back in the Park:
And on my balcony:
I walked through the fields on my way home and saw this lovely horse:
The hedges are full of wild roses:
Flowers are growing between the castle stones, and the castle grounds are open again:
A beautiful sunset at the Rhine:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Wie süss dein Journal mit der Katze, ich bin ganz verliebt darin und der Farbenmix klasse!
ReplyDeleteDeine Fotos ach so schön was du wieder erlebt hast auf deinem Spaziergang.
Ich wünsche dir eine gute Nacht und träume süss!
Lieben Gruss Elke
Guten Morgen Elke! Ja, es war einen tollen Spaziergang. Dir einen schönen Tag, bleib gesund!
DeleteGood morning Valerie omg that kitten page is so darn cute,well done on your beautiful work my friend and your photos are lovely to look at first thing in the morning,hope you have a lovely day Valerie xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheryl, glad you like the photos. Have a great day!
DeleteI like this kitty art. We are still storming something awful. The wind is about 40MPH with gusts. Love all the flowers and especially the horses.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole. Stay safe in the storm!
DeleteVery happy hybrid piece, the photos as beautiful but sorry about the coffee!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine. I drank the coffee cold, I don't mind cold coffee!
DeleteI enjoyed your art work today, love the cat, it looks very happy, it is a great saying too. Obviously you needed a break that afternoon. Wonderful walk photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I loved the saying, too, and created the page to fit it! Stay safe!
DeleteSorry your coffee got cold!
ReplyDeleteLovely art and a most wonderful collection of photographs.
Happy Sunday Wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan. Cold coffee is still drinkable, but the sleep did me good!
DeleteOh I love that kitty page. I spent my day moving some gravel and like you, afterwards I took a long nap. Boy it felt good. Looks like you had a wonderful walk. I hope the one legged bird gets by ok. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. There's something good about an afternoon nap, huh, and you will hae needed yours after all that work in the yard. Have a fun Sunday!
DeleteThanks Laurie. I don't often sleep in the afternoon, but sometimes it's necessary!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at PURRR. Loved the kitty. Who wouldn't, right? Thanks, too, for sharing yet another entry for Mia's theme at Art Journal Journey.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, great photo of the wildflowers in the cracks of the castle, and the white and one black swans in the field. Beautiful photos as usual, but those were my favorites today.
Thanks E. My Kitty used to enjoy sleeping in one of the flower boxes on my balcony and enjoying the sun! Have a great day, take care!
DeleteGood Morning Val! Love your kitty piece, so sweet. Our neighbour has a lovely cat, and she often sleeps in our flower beds. But she doesn't read books - yet! Wonderful photos, too. We went to the zoo yesterday, the kids were happy, even my mum enjoyed it, so that made a great change. Today will be a restful day at home. Have a fun day, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThank Sarah. Glad you were all able to have a day out, and enjoyed it, and that even your mum was happy - that's worth a lot! Have a great day, take care!
DeleteFabulous work with the cat. Loving the photos and the one legged bird is so cute. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie. the goose is hiding its other leg well!
DeleteI see it was really great walk! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was indeed. Have a good day, stay safe!
DeleteWauw what a nice page you’ve made and such a lovely nature, I ´ll bet you enjoy alot
ReplyDeleteThanks, nature is so beautiful, we need to make the most of it!
DeleteI think that Oscar Wilde was a wise man, Valerie. Perhaps he too fell asleep from time to time and let his coffee go cold! It would more likely have been tea, I suppose. When you think of the extent to which that poor fellow was persecuted because of his sexual orientation it make you think that we have at least progressed a little. Great shots of animals and birds. As soon as the degree of your renown as the discoverer of new taxa is made public, you will hardly be able to take these tranquil strolls, the paparazzi will be in hot pursuit! Enjoy them while you may!
ReplyDeleteOscar Wilde was a great writer and thinker, I love his work. In some ways we have progressed since then, but there's still room for improvement in many things. I just came back from visiting the Canada Goslings again, they are huge!
DeleteMy coffee was cold, also. YES. Hubby made me coffee and I forgot about that. Says the tea-person! GlG and a happy arvo, Iris
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, I'm going to make a coffee now and drink it before I fall asleep!
DeleteAnother gorgeous creation, Valerie! I am a cat lover! I love the combination of cat and flowers! And beautiful photos from this park. It must be a great place for walk. Hugs, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia. Cats and flowers go well together. We are lucky to have lots of great parks here.
DeleteI love your photos, the flowers are so beautiful and your work is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia, have a nice Sunday!
DeleteI love, love, love this piece. That car image is just so cute. Glad you had a lovely walk, great photos. Have a great day. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Anesha. Cats are always little stars, aren't they! Have a great Sunday!
DeleteBeautiful photos from your walk, i realy liked the one with the dew/rain drops on the flower petals.
ReplyDeleteIts a fabulous journal page and the cat looks so contented. Thank you for another wonderful page linked to Mia's theme at Art Journal Journey.
Stay safe.
Yvonne xx
Thanks Yvonne. The water drops came from a sprinkler they were using in the park. Have a great day, take care, hugs, Valerie
