birds gotta swim, fish gotta fly


This is a bit of a stretch for the theme, but I'm saying that the place in this collage is the sky, our atmosphere, where this aviatrix presumably likes to be, high up.

Ice Cream Mountain

One from the archives to start off with.
It's been so hot here, I want to live on Ice Cream Mountain!

Theme: There's A Place.

Geographically speaking, a collage about a place.
Anywhere, really… a town, a country, a planet or a favourite shop… etc. Real or imaginary..

This is my last turn at the themes for now as June ends.
Many thanks for all the great collages the last couple of months.

I saw a news item about a brazen squirrel who shoplifted a package of peanut M&Ms from a shop in Disney World. You can view the video here:

(I just realized I am also keeping the animal theme going! Too much horrible news over here, I am zoning out on it and paying attention to pleasant stories.)
