T sTands for Tag Tuesday and loTs more

Hi Everybody!

Here's wishing us all a happy, healthy and safe June.
Today we are starting a new challenge at Tag Tuesday and our lovely and talented Michele is hosting. Her lovely theme is dance-dancers-dancing, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you create. I have a hybrid tag using a hand-painted background and elements from Serif:



Hope to see lots of you joining in!

And it's also time for Elizabeth's T sTands for Tuesday linky parTy, so here a warm welcome to all of the lovely ladies of the T Gang:




An old painting with some bottles:



And some assorted photos from my walks and balcony:



















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

  2. Good morning Valerie: Dinosaurs didn't die out. In fact there is one in the White House right now, of the most primitive form too. It survived along with crocodiles and other cold-blooded predatory creatures. Thanks for the updated portrait of the Canada Geese. It is good to see them doing well. Who can believe it is already June? It is an old cliché but nevertheless true that the older one gets the faster the time goes by. Have a relaxing day with good coffee, and a nap on the balcony. Big hugs, David

    1. Hi David, I stand corrected. That is really one evil dinosaur. The geese are doing well, they were swimming in the Rhine this morning. Yes, we oldies have to see time running by quicker than we can! Been busy up til now, but feel obliged to do as you say and take a nap....

    1. Thanks Ella! The three children are sitting on a fountain in Hofgarten, being watched by a crow, and in the basin of the fountain there are frogs spouting water. It's called the fairy tale fountain.

  11. Valerie I love how you presented the ballerina. I so enjoy your photos. I know it is your place and you see it every day but to me it always looks like so much is there, that it is peaceful and so inviting. Yes, it didn't take long for our kids to be in their 50s.LOL have a wonderful day.

  12. Beautiful ballerina. I can hear her wishful thoughts. I also love my coffee...what a gorgeous tea service with the roses on it. What is the name of that striking blue flower? I accidentally deleted your comment from my latest blog entry but luckily had it in email and so I posted it under my name mentioning you,,,you can repost if you want but maybe its OK as is?

    1. Thanks June! I have no idea, it forms a huge bud and then pops open with a loud pop. The birds planted it on my balcony. Things like that happen to me often, don't worry!

  13. Wonderful art and photos Valerie! Your blue flower could be a Campanula Bellflower, we have them in our front garden, probably planted by the birds too :-)
    Happy new week,

  17. What an incredible ballerina tag. It was a great tag for the theme, Valerie. I like all the details, too.

    Your walks are always fun. First, was that wheat in the field? It looked like some kind of grass, maybe. And that blue flower is gorgeous. My birds leave me purple poop, probably from the mulberry tree, but no flower seeds (grin).

    Was that a baby black swan I saw in the photo? I hope the black swan family is doing better than they fared last year.

    Finally, I am in love with the plethora of coffee related images you shared this week, from the journal tag to actual mugs of coffee. Enjoyed seeing the tea pot and the lovely tea set, too. Thanks for sharing your ballerina tag, your walks along the Rhine, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday. It's great I'll never be a dinosaur.

    1. Thanks E!. The bales are grass, the meadows are mowed 2-3 times a year and it's baled for the animals. The black swans are all doing well, three pairs of black swans have had young up to now, and lots from the white swans, too. I go and look 2-3 times a week, it's a fun place to be! Have a great month!

  26. What a lovely tea service, so pretty! That blue flower is gorgeous! Reading through comments hoping to find out what kind of plant it is, and I see it was a gift from generous birds. They'll never tell ;) It's always good to see a bee, and the public statuary always adds so much to a community. You always have a good variety of sights to see on your walks :) Happy T Tuesday!

  31. I hope it was a nice T day valerie. With the time change and me being late to comment, it will be Wednesday by the time you red this. I like the dancer tag. That will be a fun challenge. And I like the bottles and the little surprise smiling faces at the bottom of 2 of them. That is a nice surprise. Happy June. Hugs-Erika

  32. I'm sorry this is late. T-Day has been and gone. But... better late than never.
    I love the header with the cow and her calves. Beauties.
    What a lovely ballerina tag! I love that theme. It will be a fun challenge.
    You made me smile with the coffee themed images. (And now I am longing for my cup of coffee)
    As always I enjoy the photos of your walk. So sweet those goslings. And black swans too! This time also an image from your balcony. What a beautiful blue flower.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Stay safe,
