Hi everyone. It's the middle of the week already. Wow. The weather has been gorgeous here, what I think of as real spring. Blue skies and warm temperatures, but not too hot. And everything is greening up too.
I love it!
So today I have a spread from my nature journal. I made it with some stenciling, stamping and some die cut butterflies. Perfect for the latest challenge at Try It On Tuesday which is stencil/die cuts or both.
And I am also linking up to Jo's Flora and Fauna challenge at Art Journal Journey Lots of fauna in my page today.
And speaking of beautiful blue sky days, I have another Japan view for you today.
It's Mount Fuji.
As seen from a speeding bullet train., the Shinkansen. We thought it would be just a little blip on the horizon, not this huge mountain.
We were thrilled that it wasn't cloudy.
Hope you have some blue skies and sunshine in your world today.

Love your Spring page as much as I'm enjoying the Spring weather. Wow, you got a beautiful shot of Mt. Fuji. Enjoy the sunshine today!
Lovely Floral and Fauna Page. I especially like the little heart on the butterfly wing. And your Mt. Fuji photo is awesome! I’ve never seen it in person, it must have been a moving experience.

I love this beautiful journal spread. It is gorgeous and truly speaks of spring. I am impressed with all the bugs, bees, butterflies and crickets you chose to use. Diversity at its best. Thanks for sharing it at Art Journal Journey today.
I saw the photo of Mount Fuji and knew immediately what it was. I have lots of pictures in books of it. I have heard it is overpowering. You got some great shots from the train.
Wonderful page. The photos of Mt. Fuji - wow!

You got an excellent view of the mountain, didn't you! I can't imagine living with such a beautiful scene outside my window. Inspiring!
Let's try a little aliteration -- FABULOUS FUJI PHOTO!
We skipped spring, and jumped into summer out here in the midwest..90s most of the week. Whew. Enjoy the lower temperatures while you can. :) It will be headed your way soon enough.
The bees and butterfly page is so spring-like and pretty. And, what a great photo of Mt Fuji. It almost looks like something in a dream.
A fabulous page, full of life and colour, like nature outside.
The views of Mount Fuji are breath taking!!!
What a gorgeous page with all the butterflies, bees and insects!
You got wonderful shots from the Mount Fuji out of the train - this mountain is really gigantic!

That was certainly an awe inspiring mountain to view even if only from the train, Erika. It should make for beautiful art in your journal.
