Hi Everybody!
Another week is flying by and I never seem to get enough done - same old story every time!
Today I have some faces to share from 2018, using ideas from a book from Jane Davenport:
And some thinkies / funnies / photos and art from David Zinn:
Photos from National Geographic:
These were taken on Wednesday between 5 and 6 a.m. as I was watching the sunrise:
I will be linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF
Have a great day, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!
I know what you mean by the week flying by and never getting everything done. That hummingbird sharing a drink with the bees is amazing. My bees get drinks at my bird feeder, and it is fascinating. It's great to see all your faces too. I remember most of them, and it is fun to see them again. Have a super end of the week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks , it's a lovely photo, insects and birds together, so lovely. I had forgotten alll about those faces, found them when I was looking for something else!
DeleteI love your art, and awesome photos too-I enjoyed everything here-hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathy, have a great day, hugs!

DeleteHi Val, good morning. Another lovely post, your art and photos are wonderful as always. Look after yourself, have a fun day! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, hugs to all!
DeleteLoving the flash back to Jane Davenport works of Art, the pencil and a dream is a great quote. I too have seen Bee's drinking from my bird bath, I have a pebble ramp so they can get in and out of it easily. Really lovely to see a photo up close, amazing.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven'y been around for a week or two it's been a very draining week looking after Mom :((
Take care of yourself Hugs Tracey xx
Thanks, Tracey. Sorry you have so much to you, all the best for you and your mum! Hugs
DeleteBeautiful pages, Valerie, and I LOVE the one with the collage. The photos with the eagles and the hummingbird are fabulous! And I really admire your sunrises. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe sunrises are the best thing here, I love them!
DeleteJane certainly ignited your creativity, lovely pages and digging all the hairdo's. I hope you are eating well and not in too much pain. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI had fun with those faces and hairdos! Today I had ice cream, yummy! Hugs!
DeleteThe weeks do fly by, Valerie, and despite our best attempts we are incapable of slowing them down. We have a hummingbird feeder in our yard and often the bird has to make quick dashes to get a sip of liquid and avoid the bees and wasps. We change the sugar water every couple of days and bring the feeder in to wash it thoroughly and the insects seem to be less of a problem that way. But it’s inevitable that a sugary liquid will attract them. Actually, I haven’t yet seen a hummingbird this year, although they have already returned. Yesterday we were out in the country and bought fresh asparagus at a farm and tonight we will make an Asian dish, simply called Asparagus Chicken, for dinner. It is very tasty indeed and we look forward to the asparagus crop each year so that we can have it. Today, I will be giving a presentation in urban birds in Cambridge, and I am looking forward to that. Stay well. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with your presentation! Asparagus is one of the best things in summer! Yummy! Hugs, Valerie xxxxxxx
DeleteThose creative faces are all wonderful and making them was time well spent. Wishing you a great day and lots of time to do whatever your heart desires.

DeleteFab faces Valerie I have the stamp with those Jane Davenport faces on (2nd one down) and must get it out again as it is sadly neglected at the moment.
