Sunday / Monday Post - The eye and the tiger

Hi Everybody!

It's Sunday - enjoy!

It's a warm and humid day here. I just came back from my morning walk, and am looking forward to a nice cappuccino when I have finished my post. I still don't like the new blogger, it takes much longer to upload photos, and the stupid 'redirect' notice every time I click on a link is absolutely unnecessary. I wrote a feed back, but I'm not sure that anyone bothers reading these things! Whatever, like it or not we have to get used to it!

I have a hybrid piece to show today. I made it for my 'geometric shapes' challenge some time back, but never got round to showing it. The background was made with painted paper to which I glued pieces of fibrous material over which I daubed more colours. The squares are part of a photo of a patched up brick wall by the Rhine, and the circles were cut from an old journal page. The eye stamp was from Paper Artsy and the tiger from LaBlanche. It was all put together in Serif:

Yesterday and today we have had wonderful cloud formations sweeping across the sky:

I sat here and watched the world go by:

The archway leads to some houses for assisted living, and there is a beautiful courtyard there:

These clouds were from yesterday evening at almost 11 pm:

This tree was cut down after a storm three years ago. In autumn and winter it was covered in fungi, and has been home to many insects. Now it is slowly disintegrating and reverting to dust - Nature's way of using everything:

And the cormorant was on his usual seat, and every so often he dives into the water and comes up with a fish:

Looking south,  up river, which eventually leads to the source in Switzerland:

And this is looking north, or down the river, towards Holland and the sea:

Whichever way you're going today, may it be a good and safe one.

Have  a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
