Hi Everybody!
It's Friday and that means the weekend is almost here! Enjoy!
Today I am sharing a journal page meant for Mia's challenge at AJJ, butterflies. The butterfly lady is another image from Gecko Galz:
And I have a tag for Michele's faces challenge at Tag Tuesday. The image is from Mischief Circus:
I am also linking to Paint Party Friday
Some of my sky photos from 2020:
Here you can see the moon and Jupiter:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

I love the first colorful piece because I'm always drawn to colorful things, but the second one is really awesome too. Gorgeous photos, those moon shots are amazing! Have a fantastic weekend Valerie. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, I love colours, too! You have a great weekend, too!
DeleteI love all that intense color on your journal page! It really draws me in to have a look around. I like the face art piece also. She makes me wonder what it is she is seeing or thinking. Very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie. I think the girl on the tag is dreaming of coffee! have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteYour moon shots are impressive. So good to see the moon and Jupiter in the same shot.
Thanks Elizabeth. It's always good to see one of the planets. Have a great day!
DeleteI forgot to thank you for this great entry at Art Journal Journey using Mia's theme.

Ich wĂźnsche dir ein schĂśnen Tag!
Liebe Umarmung Elke
Danke liebe Elke. Die Kälbchen sind immer so sĂźĂ! Dir einen schĂśnen Tag!
DeleteOh My, Valerie, you have begun with the right note for me this morning with your call for everyone to appreciate wildlife in all its forms, and in the process come to a better understanding of our fellow humans. Then you follow with that enigmatic face, in some respects a little haunting, though tempered by experience and containing the mystery of the ages, knowing much but saying little. All of this is encapsulated in the unknown of the skies above us with unimaginable distances, and stars and galaxies beyond what our minds can comprehend. It is a fitting theme as we approach the summer solstice later this month. Hugs and kisses. David
ReplyDeleteThanks, David, I'm glad you like my wise words! I think most people don't even try to understand themselves, let alone other people and wildlife. The sky is always a source of delight for me, the view from my window is really the best thing in my shabby apartment! I felt very bad yesterday, had a reaction to the Vaccination, felt like I had flu. It's a bit better today, so that's good. But I'm having a rest day! Hope you have a wonderful day, take care of yourself. Is Miriam still forcing you to do garden work?! Hugs to you both!
DeleteSorry to hear you have not been feeling well, Valerie, and hope that you quickly improve. Miriam is an unremitting taskmistress and I am working my poor fingers to the bone!
DeleteI want to see đ a photo of those bony fingers! I am enjoying resting and reading today!
DeleteBeautiful photos đ have a nice day đ
ReplyDeleteThanks Martyna, you, too!
DeleteInteresting colourful page. The tag is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa, have a great day!
DeleteI always love your sky photos, Valerie. I love taking photos of the sky, too.
ReplyDeleteThe journal page is great, my friend. I love the beautiful GG lady you added. And I like very much the tag. This face is really expressive.
Thank you so much, my friend, for joining my challenge at AJJ. Kisses!
You're welcome Sweetie! Have a great day!
DeleteGorgeous moon pics. The collages are lovely

ReplyDeleteTh a Kathy, have a great weekend!
DeleteI want to first say I just love the new header Valerie. It is wonderful. So are your latest journal page and tag. The face on the tag is quite eye catching, and your page is stunning. I love the quote. Wish more people cared about wildlife, but sadly it seems so many people are ignorant. And your sky photos are amazing. You have some really good shots. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! The cows graze in the field at the end of the road, I love watching them. So many people don't care about our world and all that is in it, they need to wake up before it's too late! Happy weekend! Hugs!
DeleteGorgeous photos. That moon is a stunner! And those sweet cows make me smile big. What a great photo.
ReplyDeleteThe cows are really sweet, and I like that they are allowed to stay together and enjoy being outside! Have a great weekend!
DeleteLovely journal pages.
ReplyDeleteThe sky photos are wonderful. I especially love the moon shots.
Thanks a lot! The moon is always my fave, too! Have a great weekend!

DeleteSorry I missed this post yesterday Valerie, I looked but can not find anyone since my blogger reading list format has changed I hope it changes back to how it was..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words so true on your first page, goes so well with the images and lovely warmth in your colour choice. The girl tag is amazing.. I must try find TT challenge and see what everyone else has been up too. Hugs Tracey xx
Thanks Tracy. Blogger has really been playing silly buggers lately, so many things have changed, and keep changing. I wonder why they never bother to say what they are doing? Have a great weekend, take care! Hugs!
DeleteYour butterfly lady is very elegant and I do like how you have framed her with the composition which is just perfect. The colours are so complimentary to one another.
ReplyDeleteGreat tag with that face and the photos, as always, are superb. I always think how they would make a lovely calendar. It would be hard to choose which ones though.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks Neet, I am always happy when I can take photos. Have a great Weekend!
