Thursday/Friday Post

Hi Everybody! 

Today I have a  last piece for Vicki's light challenge at AJJ, a little collage put together from my photos:



We get fresh flowers once a week, here they were in the kitchen:




And this is the one I chose:


Spring is slowly coming, although it was freezing today!




On a tree-stump in the garden I discovered this fungus which has turned to stone. On the 2nd glance, I thought it looked like a bird - can you see it, too?


And some faces for Nicole's FFO:












I am linking to Vicki's challenge at AJJ,
Nicole's FFO and
Gillena's AFFF

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

  1. Lovely collage. The cherubs made me think of a Doctor Who episode, "The Angels Take Manhattan". Your rose is so pretty. I saw the bird, too! Fun. Take care.

  2. I like the collage and quote as well as the faces. Love those roses. I laughed at the stabbing strangers joke. Too funny. That fungus does look like a bird.

  7. Love the collage. The central mouse is cute. Great sentiment. Love roses. Many years ago I tested them for Jackson and Perkins. My job was demanding so had to stop. Had more than 50 unnamed varieties in my backyard.

    Hugs and Blessings

  15. I love the words of wisdom on the collage and I can clearly see that bird too. The flowers are so beautiful I can almost smell the delicate aroma. Wendy's book cover is hilarious too! Keep smiling, and have a great week ahead.

  16. I just love that they give you fresh flowers every day. Am I right in thinking there is a big bouquet in the kitchen and you can each choose a flower for your own room and vase? I think that's a lovely idea. Loved all the art and memes you shared today!

  22. How great it is that you get fresh flowers every week, Valerie! They must bring you joy. I do see the bird in the shelf fungus. I see a Komodo dragon in the blue and green image. Love the book cover on the bus. It's been an adventure riding the buses here in Honolulu. Have a happy week!

  24. That is a great collage and perfect for the AJJ challenge. That is something I cannot see to get right. Saw an idea on someone's blog the other day which i might try and see if it hjels me in some way.
    I had some flowers delivered today and there was a fabulous rose in with them. I must get a photo as yours is so beautiful and i want to picture mine for eternity.
    Yes, i see the bird, is that in the clinic garden? Love the big cat mural and thme portraits you are sharing.
    Hope you are getting better each day.
    Hugs, Neet xx
