I used the graveyard beside the church as my background photo for both of these mosaics.
Fascinating the things a gal can learn if she stops long enough to read one of those plaques on a rock in the churchyard on the ridge above her home. (Yes, I do love a prepositional phrase.) Honestly, I never knew. I'll spare you and send you to Wikipedia instead, if you are curious.
So nice to see Mary's links up early. Because of today's activities, it works out well for me; however, I am not happy to learn the reason why.
Follow along at Mary's Little Red House.
Beautiful, beautiful photos and mosaics! I love the old church, fence, marker and grave markers all in blue and white. Love it!! Have a great week Vee.
ReplyDeleteThe white building just stands out so well against the blue sky. Pretty. Valerie
ReplyDeleteA wintry scene captured perfectly. Blue sky, white church, a bit of stone and bare trees - well done, Vee!
ReplyDeleteLovely winter scenes. The white church pops against the blue sky. I hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, sounds like the flu bug or something, has hit at Mary's house. -sigh-
ReplyDeleteYour mosaics are very crisp, clear, gentle, quiet, winter-y, calm, etc. There, I hope that was sort-of the look you were going-for. If not, forget I said anything. -grin-
Lots of sunlight here Vee, and I love the side of the church with the shadows of the trees.

Pretty little church! I went through a period where I loved taking black and white photos of graveyards. I was thinking it would make a cool book but then I lost interest.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you did this! And it was an interesting link too.
ReplyDeleteThe church is pretty, I have spend some time visiting my ancestors grave sites and taking photos. You did capture some beautiful wintry scenes. Have a happy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI too was thrilled that ou Mary was able to post early as I am an early to bed person, but I did not like that she and her family were ill.
ReplyDeleteThe church and graveayard images are so pretty in the snow...hmm, I miss reading those little plaques most of the time..just zooming right on by~ Happy week~
Oh I just love that church. I'd like to make it my house!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Loved reading about Ladd too! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLovely, peaceful, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sue
Nice light bright pics Vee.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright beautiful day! Thanks for letting me know the link was up. Enjoy your evening....and bring over some of that cranberry drink! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic and thanks for the history lesson--I do like learning a bit about the photos I see. Really. I do.
ReplyDeleteHey friend! Still here I am! Finally my last kid left, I'm back on my regularly scheduled work week (worked all last week) and I'm ready for the new year! Had to go back and do some reading here, Vee and see what you've been up to. Finishing out the year and the Christmas season and looking forward to DARE-ing yourself to step out there! Love it! I need to do some of that myself.
ReplyDeleteI am SO looking forward to reading some of your stories! Can't wait! 'Twil give us so much more insight to your childhood and your thoughts & dreams!
Love your new header, too, with all the seasons. Your summer pic is really making me yearn for spring flowers. This is the time of year that makes me so blue and mopey. I NEED sunshine!
Your post on Patti Page was great - I would have bought some of her syrup if I'd seen it. Didn't know she did that...I guess I remember the "doggie in the window" song most of all...
Take care - is there still snow on the ground? The church pictures were fabulous! Hugs to you - tell John HI! And tell him that I caught a gopher a couple of days ago, and I have two more traps set. I have a little stinker that keeps covering them over, but I'm determined!

Hello Vee, I love these mosaics. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful church, and your photographs make the mosaics perfect. I am using my husband's computer tonight, but I should be getting mine back soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday.

ReplyDeleteSnowy white images! Perfect! I love the layering effects!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely white church. It looks so peaceful sitting there in its winter white. A place for thoughts and prayers. I like the way you have overlayed the photos over the other image.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week Vee.
I've used a lot of these old churchs in my paintings over the years. This one is a beauty!
