Art & Photos from Another Walk

   Hi everyone. Happy end of another week.  This past week was busy even though I didn't have much on my calendar. I've been trying to do a few inside cleaning projects that need to be done. However, I can't say I've managed to get very far into my list. I shouldn't have started  by cleaning up my art space because that seems to have turned into a major project. 😉 (But it is much needed.)

  It's time for Nicole's Friday Face Off and also for Gillena's Friday Lunch Break. I also have a journal page for Wendy's A Moment in Time challenge at Art Journal Journey. On my journal page is my face for Nicole's challenge.

   I used  a maple leaf stamp with red ink, some orange ink and a stencil with blue paint to make the background.  The number square is from some older packaging I've kept to use because it was too nice to toss out. Then I added some leaves and clocks, both images from AALL & Create. I added a small crow from a roll of clear tape and also some string that was sitting on my work table. I'm not sure who made the girl's face because she was loose in my stash (I suspect I cut her out of a sheet of paper) and finally I used a TH quote to finish my page.

 

    I believe the new challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog starts today, and I'll be linking a my page up over there also.

   A couple of weeks ago I was out for an appointment. I decided it was such a lovely day I needed to go walking afterwards. I ended up heading to the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth (New Hampshire) since I hadn't walked there in well over (if not longer) a year. 

   The dogs and I had a lovely walk, and I thought I'd share some photos from it today. 

   First here's some relaxing views along the trail. Along one side of the Urban Forestry Center is a salt water marsh and river.

 I also had some fun taking some close up photos.  This white fuzz in this next photo at one time was some blooming asters.

I believe these yellow berries are a form of bittersweet. 

Here are some tiny crab apples.

Any guess who's been this hole?

These attractive red berries are winter berry.

These purple berries are poke weed berries, not elderberry, and are poisonous. .

  That's all for me. Have a great rest of your Friday and start to your weekend.
