…..two for one….this week’s photo challenge isΒ silence

….hooray, hooray!!!!
Today was the first day in a long time that I was able to go for a long walk and actually take photos. It was cold but the sun was so bright and beautiful that I hardly felt it. I managed to get in an extra 3000 steps and now only have another 4500 to meet my goal of 10 000 steps a day. I’ve been very bad as of late. I’ve just wanted to hunker down and veg in front of the TV or my computer screen.
Here are a few of the shots that I managed to take today.
The best part of the walk was that for the first time in almost two months I was able to take Frances with me. This is the farthest she’s walked with me willingly without my husband at our sides. Hopefully she’s turned a corner and I’ll be able to get her out more often now.
….on day 16 I’ve gone back to making a collage
The second assignment in the bookΒ The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman is called White Out. I had to create a collage using only shades of white. It was a lot of fun and I took my time trying different materials and where to place them.

….still getting inspiration from Lisa Congdon on Creative Bug
Days 14 and 15 are patterns with watercolour. The first is nautical flags. Not my favourite to date but a good exercise in painting geometric shapes freehand. The second one is a bold floral was more fun to do. I wouldn’t mind playing around with this one by trying it with different shapes and colours.
