Mosaic Monday and Blue Monday

Today is Mosaic Monday Hosted by Mary from The little red House.
Today is the day that fall starts officially so for me with this mosaic I say goodbye Summer and welcome Fall.
























If you want to see more mosaics go to Mary's blog .
There is a list of all the other participants of this great event.

And today it also is Blue Monday hosted by Sally from Smiling Sally.
Here I have a photo of a bunch of blue grapes from my friends garden.
After a beautiful summer there are lots of grapes over here.
























Now please go visit Sally's blog. You will find a list of all the other participants for blue Monday.

Have a nice day.

Hi Riet, We have a lovely sunny morning here so hopefully the Autumn isn't with us just yet.

A lovely mosaic and looks like the place for a wonderful peaceful walk! Jackie.

You can feel the slight chill in the air looking at these photos and I love the grapes and the border you have chosen.

Tineke said...

Hi Riet,

Wat een heerlijke druiven laat je zien! Heb je ze heerlijk opgesmuld na het maken van de foto?

Carol at Serendipity said...

Love your mosaic. Those grapes! What a fantastic picture.

Mooie foto's, ze zien bijna on-Nederlands eruit.

The photos in your mosaic tell a story. The playground is empty as the children are back in school. The lake has not young people swimming or sun bathing. It truly shows what it is the end of summer and the beginning of fall.

hallo Riet, sorry dat ik zo weinig van me laat horen, ik heb 4 baantjes en een huishouden en word af en toe een beetje gek van mezelf...je foto's zijn weer leuk en nog even genieten van de laatste zonnestralen voor de herfst echt begint!!

I wish for an endless summer but your end of summer, beginning of autumn pictures are lovely. The grapes are lush and gorgeous.

SmilingSally said...

Those grapes make me want to pluck a couple and plop them into my mouth. I love your other pictures too. Happy Blue Monday.

Bonnie said...

Those grapes are amazing! Love your mosaic. It is starting to feel like fall here too. The leaves are changing colors and the farmers are in the fields.

Beautiful shots...those grapes are gorgeous!!!

I love Autumn, too. It's hot here in California, but I'm still thinking fall instead of summer. ::Jill

Your photos are all beautiful. I love the blue border you used to frame that last picture. The image of the grapes is lovely.

Does she make wine?????? They look delicious. Have you tasted one? When we were in the wine country, they had us taste some grapes...they were very sour!!!
Happy Blue Monday Riet my friend.

Hi Riet, Yes, my mind (and my posts) are still in Holland. It takes me awhile to mentally come home again. I still have more elephants to share!

Your collage is wonderful and it's hard to believe it's been less than a week since I was there. And your photo of the grapes is just beautiful! It could be on a note card!

Happy Blue/Mosaic Monday!
Robin

LV said...

Hoi Riet,

Wat een heerlijke landelijke collage, en de druivenfoto is werkelijk SUPER, om zo in te bijten. Het was er inderdaad een prima jaar voor, een geweldige zomer hebben we dit jaar.

groetjes Josephine

Riet - this is a wonderful fall mosaic...I just love the one with the single person walking! I also love the header photo with the windmills. A little town near me...called Prinsburg has a lot of people with Dutch heritage and they have little windmills has decorations all over their yards.

Those grapes look like a painting! I'm a little late w/ my Blue Monday visits. Hope you have a good week!

Heidi said...

HI Riet,
Your pictures are so pretty!
I'm always awestruck by the beauty of Holland - that header picture just blows me away everytime!
Those grapes look delicious. You can almos taste them.

I'm glad you've got some female companions - they're lucky to have a grandma they can see often. I do feel blessed to have my two girls, and love spending time with them. Glad they still want to hang with me!
See you again soon,
XO

Hi, goedenacht Riet, het lijkt me VUURWERK in positive vorm deze combinatie, maar het hangt er vanaf. Het kan ook gigantisch botsen, ik zeg altijd als je elkaars gebruiksaanwijzing kent en respecteerd gaat alles in de "meeste" gevallen harmonieus.

Lieve groet Josephine

Josephine said...

Nog even.......
je hebt een mooie klok op je blog gezet. Dat vergat ik nog even te vermelden.

Groetjes Josephine

Mary said...
