Hi Everybody!
Hope your week is going well. After the cold and misty weather from Tuesday, Wednesday was a wonderful 'golden' day, from sunrise to sunset, and I enjoyed it. Tomorrow arctic winds will be hitting us....But I enjoyed this wonderful day.
For Wendy's birds challenge at AJJ I have a 'scribble' journal page. I often make pages like this when I am watching TV, or in the pre-covid days while sitting in a café. These pages are always inspired by what's going on around me or in TV as the case may be:
I enjoyed my walk along the Rhine, and watched men trimming back the trees to make them safe for winter storms:
Lots of glowing colours:
Looking down the Rhine:
And up the Rhine:
Not many booths at the Rhine market because of Covid:
I walked through the park, which was the moat in the old days:
And then up the ramp and along the bastions (fortified city walls):
I always imagine the watchmen patrolling the bastions in past times:
Huge fungi on a tree stump:
Looking from the bastion to the Rhine:
And the bastion leading back home:
Past the meadows:
Flowers on the street corner:
Have a great day, take care,
and hanks a lot for coming by!
I'm just sitting enjoying a very late evening cuppa and scrolling through your wonderful photographs ... simply WOW!
ReplyDeleteLovely art too.
Happy Thursday Wishes.
All the best Jan
Thanks so much Jan, it was a great day for photos!

ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, I'm prepared! Hugs, Valerie
DeleteLooks like our weather will be switching places. I love your drawing page. It made me smile and looks like fun. Stay warm tomorrow. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteStrange how things shift and change so quickly! Have a great day!
DeleteThese are cheery, happy pages in your book, Valerie. And it looks like you are nearing the end of fall in Dusseldorf too. Lovely scenes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. Winter is on its way!
DeleteFun and happy pages, and gosh your photos are sheer delight to view. x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Annie! Stay safe!
DeleteHere they are trimming trees like crazy, too. Wonderful pictures from your walk. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, have a safe day!
DeleteHi Val, good morning to you! Hope you have slept well and feel as well as possible today. LOVE your fun pages, you should show more like that, they are such fun! Have a lovely day, take care, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, you all have a great day, too, take care!
DeleteDas ist eine so schöne lustige Zeichnung ich finde das solltest du ölfters zeigen!

Danke, liebe Elke! Heute scheint es viel kälter zu sein, das heisst mich warm einpacken wenn ich raus gehe! Dir einen schönen Tag, bleib gesund!
DeleteLovely scribble page I wish I could draw like that!! Wonderful walk photos, the Rhine is a beautiful river. The trees look great in their autumnal colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks, things like this are fun!
DeleteA great journal page, lots to see. You do have some wonderful walks near you and some great photos along the way.
ReplyDeleteHugs Wendy.
Thanks Wendy! Have a great day!
DeleteSuch happy, smile making pages in your journal today! What a good job those men are doing. I wish my neighbours would do the same, for if their trees come down, tis I who suffer!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Deb
p.s. forgot to say, second photo of fungus looks like a wide mouth frog 🐸 emerging from the leaves!
DeleteThanks Deb, happy if it made you smile!They do the tree cutting regularly to avoid accidents. That fungus does look like a frog now I look at it, well spotted!
DeleteLuv your awesome photos and "cheepy" birds gave me a smile

DeleteI love your drawing page.
ReplyDeleteWe will all miss the beautiful colors of fall!
Have a lovely day! Hugs!
Thanks Ella, let's hope winter brings us some lovely days, too!
DeleteGood morning Valerie: It is great to reconnect with you again. My cataract surgery went very well, and my distance vision has improved greatly and the clarity and brightness is quite amazing. However, I can't read worth a damn! I have been unable to get an appointment with my optometrist until 29 December to get a proper prescription and then we will be right into New Year, so it is going to be a while before I have new glasses. In the meantime I just picked up a pair of drug store reading glasses and that is helping me to see your always impressive art and the incredible views of your walk along the Rhine, with a history lesson thrown in! You really do have some enchanting places to walk. I am now busy catching up with scores of emails and trying to hit a few of my favourite blogs. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be caught up. Hugs and kisses, David.
ReplyDeleteHi David, good to hear from you again, and I'm happy that your OP went well, that's good. But it's a bit of a bummer that you need to wait so long for reading glasses. Still, good that the drug-store ones do the trick for the time being. Due to Covid all appointments re taking much longer here, too. My walk yesterday was wonderful as the weather was so good, but today it's back to cold, wet and windy. But I still enjoyed being out! Rest you eyes, and be a good boy! Have a great day, stay safe! Hugs to you both!
DeleteHi Valerie, Bill here. Lovely Art and Photos. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill!
DeleteYour area is so pretty. You really capture that in your photos.
ReplyDeleteLove your scribble journal.
And your header is purrfect:)
Hope your hands are feeling better.
Hugs
Thanks Sandra! Have a good and safe day!
DeleteYour art made me smile. I enjoyed the walk. Even though you walk in the same area, your pictures always look different. Take care and stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ. Have a good and safe day!
DeleteYour whimsical drawings made me chuckle. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks, These drawings are fun to make.
DeleteI love your bright colors in your art today. And always I love the color in your fall walks. Winter will bring its own landscape, but I'm enjoying this season's colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will muss autumn and its wonderful colours.
DeleteA lovely bright and colourful page Valerie, and beautiful photos of a beautiful walk.
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
Thanks Alison, have a great evening!
Deleteso wonderful and colorful photos;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy! Stay safe!
DeleteHi Valerie, yep the world is a jungle alright. This is a great way to show it off. I love your photos but for me today looking down the Rhine is so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole. It always does me good to walk by the Rhine. Stay safe!
DeleteI love your art work! It's colorful and happy!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a great photographer too.
Thanks Debra, glad you like the pics!
DeleteInteresting art work and some amazing photos vj
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashok!
DeleteI am so sorry for being so VERY late visiting, Valerie. I was SO sick night before last, I didn't even link up to AEDM and TAD for at least two hours. Still not well, but feeling guilty, so wanted to stop by and admire your amazing your art and photos today.
ReplyDeleteThe journal spread is adorable. I like how you doodled away and gave us so much to think about. I especially liked how you doodled the clothes on the "clothesline," and the houses and cars in a circle. Of course, I can't forget the bird, because it is special and works well for Wendy's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear.
The wall held my attention of all these photos today.
Sorry you were so sick, that's not good. Hope you are feeling better today. Sometimes I have fun making pages like these. Have a great day!
DeleteFun pages! Your drawings are fabulous, a wonderful way to capture life and things going on around you 😀. Those skies as always are a delight and so lovely to see all your photos too. Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Sometimes we just need to be a bit crazy! Hugs!
DeleteLove your scribbly page Valerie! Life certainly is different these days! Along as the sun shines we'll be OK!!! Lovely photos as usual - the walk on the city walls looks beautiful! Hugs, Chrisx
