Pics of our walk today and picnic at Lake Macquarie near home.
[our fav place once a week and popular with tourist and locals
and where hubby goes sailing...for you Valerie-Jael]
There has lately been sightings of sharks in the lake
which is a bit of a worry for summer sporting.
There is a mouth opening from the sea
where the sharks are coming from.

So beautiful!
I LOVE this mixed media entry, Annie. Those Lavinia fairies are quite popular and you chose a beauty.
What a fabulous place to have a picnic with your husband. It looked quite romantic, too.
Piękne miejsce koło Twojego domu Anie, i Ty wspaniale wygladasz :) u nas zimno, pada śnieg :) Wspaniała, kolorowa jest Twoja praca, cudne te stemplowe wróżki :)
Lovely mixed media page Annie! And so nice you could do it outdoors!
We were at Lake Macquarie last February, so we were quite near you it seems...

What a wonderful day you have had Annie - love your piece of art - the colours are so vibrant!
Is your lake sea fed that there are (possibly) sharks in it? It looks a beautiful spot for a walk and picnic. Make the most of those special times with your man.

Wow wow wow!!!! Such AMAZING mixed media!!! LOVE it! Awesome colours and details, this piece really spreads happiness everywhere around!! :D
Seems that you have had a fabulous relaxing day, I would need one too :)
The lake is so peaceful, but I'm very impressed for the sharks. I didn't know that they leave also in fresh waters!
Big hugs, I'm going to work... :(

Stunning scenery Annie, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful card, love the vibrant colours! You live near a lake too! Although our lake is not in connection with the sea and is much smaller. Sounds wonderful, a walk and then a picnic!
Ahhh, your page looks as bright and colorful and cheery as summertime! You look very relaxed and happy, enjoying the view. That's a big lake and a beautiful spot to recreate. Considering the sharks, I'd sure stay out of the water. We don't even let our dogs swim in the bay or ocean anymore because of seals and sea lions. There is the occasional shark here, too. We're just being over cautious, I'm sure.
WOW your mixed media project is so cheerful and fun to look at...love it
Cheers

It is a beautiful and magical mixed media page with the lovely silhouette fairy images you added.
Your pictures from your walk are lovely, the lake area looks beautiful, but sharks, I am so pleased there isn't much change of them getting into our rivers.
