Blue for You

 This week's theme on SPA is BLUE MONDAY

Of course, this is referring to the third Monday in January supposedly being the most depressing day of the year.... Where this concept comes from I really don't know... Does anyone else know? Perhaps, it started as a social media trend.

Anyway, I decided to embrace the blue of the prompt rather than the whole depression side of it. I thought I would go with a happy Blue Tit (they always make me smile, when they come to my garden for food) 

Let's try and embrace things that make us happy, if we can.

Feathered Friends

 Deann has chosen this week's Sunday Postcard Art theme

Come over and join in! It's FEATHERED FRIENDS 

I'm having a mini challenge for myself this year to use a bird on as many postcards as possible (probably won't be possible on every one due to the themes but it's a challenge!

Thanks for looking

Pigeons

 I love Pigeons, so I figured why not choose it for a theme on Sunday Postcard Art

We have regular pigeon visitors to our garden. They are such misunderstood birds 😍

Thanks for looking

We need to take care of our wildlife, animals, earth .... As they say there is no Planet B

The beautiful spring came;

and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also...

How could I not do a Flower Fairy of the Spring

And a decoupaged daffodil for springtime

It's all make believe, isn't it?

 Rein chose our theme on SPA this week, CHILDHOOD HEROES.... I'm not sure I had any unless heroes are the same as idols? Who knows!

I was always in awe of Marilyn Monroe's beauty and only realised just how sad she was once I had become an adult.

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring"

Year of the Snake

 This week, Anne has chosen 'snake' as the theme. 

I found it quite challenging. I found a few snake images in my nature books but wanted to add some botanicals too. And so, my grass snake is slithering down this wildflower
