Mid week this and that

Hi Everybody!

Hope your week is going well. We had a cold, wet and grey day yesterday, so it was more splashing than walking, but  I still managed to get out and about. And the landscape always looks good in the rain!

This colourful piece was made using a giant stamp I cut a couple of years back, it's about the size of a 'real' head. The background was sprayed, dripped and stenciled:

I am linking to Paint Party Friday

And I have some more 42s for the Hitchhikers out there:

These photos were taken in Düsseldorf on one of my walks last week. I spotted this mosaic wall at a kids' playground in the park of the old 'Standes Haus' I showed in my last post:

These wonderful murals are on the walls of a Kindergarten belonging to a catholic church:

Loved this house:

A great window decoration, and I included myself on the 2nd one.

Time for a visit to the playground -  my walking buddy Harry having fun:

I enjoyed it, too. Note the ancient walls of our little town in the background - the playground is where the moat used to be:

That's all for today.

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

T stands for Tag Tuesday and more

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend was good - have a great week, too. I had a very good weekend. The weather was good, except for a few thunder storms and some heavy rain, but I managed to dodge the rain and still spent a lot of time outside walking and having fun. I didn't manage any housework, but I did cook a very tasty veggie stir-fry so didn't go hungry.

On Tuesday we are beginning a new challenge at Tag Tuesday - gardening, chosen by Joan. She has made 2 lovely tags to inspire you on our blog, and this hybrid tag is from me. I used photos, painted elements, and some floral images from Mischief Circus and Serif on a collaged background:

Tuesday is also time for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday link party, so here a hearty welcome to all of the wonderful ladies who join in. I enjoyed my coffee one day in the Altstadt of Düsseldorf:

It's on the street where the famous Uerige Brewery and lots of eateries are situated:

There is a Lindt chocolate shop opposite, but I didn't go too near, just in case!

I love the drunken reveller weather-vane at the Uerige:

I took photos of some of the older and newer buildings:

Then I walked through the quiet park of the old Standes Haus (County Parliament), which is now the K21 Art Museum:

Loved this roof garden on top of a house near the bridge:

Then I walked through Carl Platz Market:

But I'm always happy to get back to my peaceful world here:

I'll be back with some more 42s soon!

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
