Wednesday / Thursday / Friday post

Hi Everybody!

Today I have a hybrid piece made with some altered photos taken when playing about some years back.  I am linking to Mia's  add a photo challenge at AJJ. I will also be linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's Friday fun link up.


Some photos taken in our little town and by the Rhine this morning:








My contortionist tulip on the window ledge:



And some thinkies / funnies:






Have a good week, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

    1. I love the old brickwork arches and walls here. The arch is about 900 years old.

  2. What a fun journal page today Valerie. I love those views of your face and how you used 4 different colors. This is a fun one for Mia's theme. It was too windy/cold to walk today for me, so I enjoyed taking a walk with you. And I had to laugh at the 8 on the couch. Hope you're feeling great today. hugs-Erika

    Valerie, what a fun piece you made for the photo challenge. You chose a great mixture of interesting elements that blend as well as pique our curiosity. This piece makes me smile.

    Nice to see you got out today and it appears you are now also home. Laughed at your tulip. Contortionist indeed.

    Love the 8 infinitely!

  8. Your journal is very well put together, Valerie. I am sure that you fellow artists will all approve. It is especially joyful for me to see the current batch of pictures taken in town and along the mighty Rhine. It's good to know that you are out there walking again, enjoying the sights and sounds. Today, I will be leading a bird walk for about a dozen enthusiasts, and I am looking forward to that. Yesterday, a dead tree was removed from in front of my house. I was hoping that the municipality would leave it, but I knew there was little chance of that. It provided food and potential homes for so many species, but as is the way with humans, to hell with them if it interferes with what we want. Hugs and kisses - David

    1. Thanks David. A lot of the parks here leave dead trees to help the birds and other creatures. It's a wonderfrful way to help nature and even saves money. Enjoy your walk, have fun! Hugs, Valerie xxxx

  23. Lovely photos of your town. Does that mean you are home again? I do hope so but if not I hope it means you are wandering around the town. And getting a nice coffee.
    Your hybrid piece is gorgeous. I love how you have positioned the artist with the fab pictures and the young woman at the front, looking very chic, is perfect. This is one of my favourites.
    Great. thinkies/funnies - btw - who are the Kardahsians? lol

  34. I love your journal page and one can only hope that magic is real. Your photos are beautiful and you live in a lovely place. Your weather seems mild :) That is a blessing as our country is being assaulted by every kind of dangerous storm. Your Thinkies and Funnies are always a delight. I love the smiling face of the little pup ... it reminds me of my Izzi who was forever smiling. And I can honestly say I have never watched a single Kardashian episode and I am not a bit sorry :) Good that you are feeling well enough to venture out and I hope everything stays well for you.
