Stars.
Feeling quiet and short of words today. Here, in place of text, I offer you three new collages.
Catching what falls freely I, II and III, I hope they inspire you to attempt similar today; look up and explore your surroundings.

{Catching what falls freely (View I)}



Not to worry, these are better than words any day.

Gracia,
All three collages are beautiful. The stars, which look like snowflakes in the first picture, are a great touch. The animals look as if they are surveying their surroundings.
Have a good weekend!!

nights here have been clear and twinkly as well. the second collage reminds me a bit of little nemo in slumberland.

I have days when i take "silent" time. no speaking all day. Its wonderful, and i have a feeling your collages are doing that too, the starlight comes through us, and the forest--always carries the deep silencing power. Thanks.

they're beautiful, and that last one is so atmospheric and ancient folk tale-ish. x

pure magic, my dear. (i am re-reading 'the golden compass' and am falling into these images in the same way. a little glimpse of star-filled northern nights.)

Thank you, all of you. It really does mean a great deal to me to hear you say this, and I am grateful to have meet you all through this space high up in the trees. To hear that a heart has been stolen and that you are taken by these three new collages has quite made my week all the more splendid.
Happy week to you all, and thanks once again

(Thank you, Fliss, for your "you make my day" award... I feel the very same way about your blog peppered with your charming penguins, personable foxes, family tales and veggie patches.)
