Weekend Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - have a good one!

Today I have a collage to share for Sheila's single flower challenge at AJJ:



 The pictures were taken in a neighbouring town, Kettwig:



























And a collage of some of the pics I took there:


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

    There is something fishy about today's creation (groan!). Perhaps you have used our scaly friends before but I don't recall, infrequently in any event, so this fish has earned its place in the spotlight today. It was probably already up on my blog before I went to bed last night, so I guess we could refer to it as a Famous Fish on a Friday. Kettwig looks like a wonderful old town, with lots to interest a visitor. It would be a foolish woman who walked those cobbled streets in high heels! Perhaps soon you will visit there again, Valerie, and enjoy a pleasant stroll in warm, spring sunshine. Yesterday morning was minus 9 here, but by mid week the forecast is for ten degrees. That will get rid of the rest of the snow and clear the ground for the plants to start pushing through. It will be lovely! Hugs and kisses, David.

      Ah yes, a fish by any other name would smell as fishy.... it's a long time since I had a fish on my Blog! Kettwig is a very pretty place, but füll of cobble stones and steep stairs. It's cold here again, we had frost in the night, but the sun is shining which makes it lovely. Have a great Weekend, stay safe, hugs to you both!

    Thanks for the lovely yellow rose, Valerie, and I also rather like your fishy fish with his pretty fins. I think he is giving me the eye.
    Great photographs of a lovely town and I especially enjoy photos of doors and entrances.

    Flowers and fish go together perfectly in my mind. Water and land. This is a cool collage. I typed collage wrong at first and it came out coollage, and that might be a good new word for your art. This is perfect. Nice visit photos to Kettwig. It looks like a classical beautiful place to see. Have a great weekend. Hugs-Erika

    Valerie, you would be surprised if you knew how many times I go to your blog for my European fix. Oh to be able to visit Kettwig. Europe and Europeans have a style and way of life that America does not have and cannot duplicate. Thank you for always sharing your delightful view of your world with us.

    I like the fish and flower combo. Beauties but so different :) Old trip photos bring back fond memories, but I know you'll be glad when you can get out there and take new photos :)

    A beautiful vintage Rose I believe yellow is the colour of friendship? When ever I see a puffer fish it reminds me of the time my hubby brought a stuffed one home after finding it in the eves attic of a house he was renovating, it scared me but the children found it fascinating.. Love those pics, makes me really think of holidays. Hugs Tracey xx

    These are indeed beauties of nature. My grandmother would have LOVED this, because yellow roses were her favorite. Imaginative and perfect for Sheila's theme at Art Journal Journey.

    I love all that architecture. The boot hanging between the flower baskets was my favorite today.

    Oh how I wish I had known your blog before when I used to visit Dusseldorf. I am afraid I am not as physically fit as I was and probably unable to visit the areas you show to us so I just sit and let my mind wander looking at your blog. I so enjoy seeing the areas you visit, which I assume are near your own city. What a beautiful area Kettwig is.
    As is your journal page. I love the rose and the fact that you have painted it orange and the background is the perfect contrast of blue. Such a lovely page.
