Mid week this and that

Hi Everybody!

It's still extremely hot here, this morning at 9 am the outside thermometer showed 39° (in the shade!) and inside was 36°. It's getting to be too much for me. I go for my walks very early to enjoy the slightly cooler early mornings temps.

I have another face painted last week, this time using different colours. I think she is an underwater maiden. The background was textured with a brayer and then stamped with a crackle pattern, into which I rubbed some blue with a sponge. I am linking to Paint Party Friday and to Simon Wednesday Challenge, anything goes

This is a hybrid collage:

Some photos from my early walks:

The trees have lost lots of leaves, it's looking like autumn:

I wandered round the castle ruins, it was shady there:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Too HoT

Hi Everybody!

It's another sunny and much too hot day here, and there is no sign of a break yet.

At least I don't need to fly to the tropics, we're getting tropical weather here for free, whether we want it or not.

I would like to remind you that there is still a week to go to enter our Nautical/seaside challenge at Tag Tuesday:

Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all the nice ladies of the T Gang:

 On Sunday I was surprised to see deer playing on one of the meadows near the Rhine, as I have never seen them there before:

The crows were astonished, too:

Hercules was pushing 2 barges along the Rhine:

  The gulls were all tired:

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

Saturday Post

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend, enjoy!

Today I am sharing a face, drawn with black ink onto an A3 background painted with acrylics. The border was cut from a magazine and collaged. I am linking to Paint Party Friday

 Some photos from my balcony!

These pics were taken last weekend in Duisburg when we visited H. We walked along the Rhine and then sat under some shady trees:

Have a great weekend, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
