Indian Hands

Think Monday - Think ATC has the theme "India" this week. I came up with this digital ATC:

May

A digital collage made from some of my photos taken in the garden and park -- oh, isn't May true bliss?

"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."
-- Kahlil Gibran

Zetti moo

Make a moo or two has a lovely theme this week -- zetti style. I decided to give Mr. Poe a make over -- he might have appreciated that.

A walk in the park

A short drive from my place there's a comparatively new park with a creek, trees, bushes, and all sorts of plants.

Yesterday I discovered that several brushes were completely covered with webs.

With the help of a German website about larvae, I found out that it's most likely the larvae of the bird-cherry ermine who did that. In the article it was mentioned that most bushes survive and will grow new leaves later in the year.

Later I came across a female duck looking for her partner and crying out for him. After a while she went in the creek and swam downstream still looking for him.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all mothers get some nice treats today. Last fall's dragonfly or Libelle inspired me to paint a box.

Moreover, I baked a strawberry cake today.

Paris in Spring

"Paris in Spring" was the prompt phrase of Mind Wide Open's May challenge. I used the provided image as well as a couple of extras including one of the blossom photos I took in April.

Whenever Sandrine and Xavier sat close together,
it felt like being in Paris in spring.
