Green

Hi Everybody!

Happy St Patrick's Day to all who celebrate it!

I am also linking to Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods.

Mama Bear is evidently Irish....

And for 99 faces a lace-face with lots of green and blue....

Rehab/Boot camp is still very hard, and my knee is still painful and swollen,

but I can walk better from day to day, so I am hopeful

that it will be really better in a few weeks.

11 days down - 4 to go!

And last but not least some spring photos, taken last year - it's so hard to wait!

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

More bears

Hi Everybody!

Short post today, boot camp was hard, and I need rest!

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, the bears are back again:

The last photos from the weekend walk:

Have a good day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New challenge at TIOT

Hi Everybody!

Today was another hard day at the Boot Camp, rehab, but I am getting stronger

from day to day, and that's why I'm there. 9 days down, 6 still to go!

Today we are starting a new challenge at Try it on Tuesday

and our theme is Nature. As always, projects of all sorts are allowed, and you

have 2 weeks to get creative, and to link your creation  to us.

I made a hybrid piece using one of my photos taken at the Rhine, text and a mask.

And it's Tea stands for Tuesday, my drink is coffee, and a hearty welcome to Elisabeth and the T gang! Help yourselves to lemon cake!

For 99 faces I have another hybrid piece, using a mixed media background,  a Frida Kahlo stencil with lace(stencilry) and a bird photo.

The photos were taken on my Sunday walk:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Norwegian Wood

Hi Everybody!

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We had another cold and sunny day here,

and I was able to go walking again along my beloved Rhine,

so I was really happy. On Monday it's back to Boot Camp/Rehab and 6 hours of intensive training. But it is helping, so that's the main thing!

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods, I 

made another hybrid piece, a little blast from the past, using a stencil (stencilry)

of John Lennon over a wooded background.

I am also linking to 99 faces (face 78)

And to get you into the 60s mood:

The day started with a beautiful sunrise:

Mrs Thrush was once again the first in the queue for breakfast:

In the Basilica:

Along the Rhine:

In the castle grounds:

Have a wonderful day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

The lion and the unicorn

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, and I am so enjoying it!

The weather is cold but sunny, and no wind, just perfect.

I  went for a walk, which is a lot pleasanter than boot camp exercises.

I was able to go along the Rhine again, watch the boats, visit the Basilica

and do some shopping. The lady at the cash desk helped me pack my stuff into my little rucksack and heave it onto my back so I could get home safely with it.

I was so happy to be out again. My walk took twice as long as usual, but the main thing is that I was able to get out and about again

without help. My knee is still hurting and swollen, but bearable, and sooner or later it will surely be better.

For Art Journal Journey, if you go down to the woods,

I made a hybrid page using a poem I wrote for an anthology back in 2009, 

a little dream about a society where all are friends with each other.

I also made a little book of it back then, this is the cover, I will show the rest next month at Elizabeth's Second on the Second.

Mrs Thrush was up early and waiting for her breakfast at sunrise:

The water in the Rhine was blue and sparkling:

A ship called Elisabeth:

Daffodils at 'my' castle ruins:

The basilica

And a ship with my initials:

Have a great day you all, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
