THEME: My Favorite Rolling Stones Song

Your choice. 

Pick a title and create a collage illustrating it. In honor of Mick Jagger's 79th (two days ago). Happy Birthday Mick! Happy collaging all!

ALSO...my two weeks of picking themes is up. Who'll be the next in line? (Great song by The Kinks BTW.)

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful creations. I always love seeing what you come up with.

WILDLIFE WONDERS -- Bucky builds a lodge for all his pond friends


 Beavers build their homes (lodges) on lakes, rivers, creeks and streams.

Beavers use their teeth to cut down trees and branches around the area and drag them to their building location. They chew on the wood to break it into smaller pieces and start making piles. Then they use their hands to squish mud between the logs.

 Up to nine beavers will live in the same lodge. Beavers use their homes as a place to rest, raise their young and for protection against predators.

Wildlife Wonders

 Another great theme..so important to get out into nature.

The look on this donkey’s face says it all.

Loving everyone’s work, but my ability to comment is temporarily curtailed.

THEME: Wildlife Wonders

Since the pandemic began, I have spent more time than ever riding my bicycle over to the local nature sanctuary, which includes a large man-made pond that is undergoing a multi-million dollar restoration. It was in desperate need of it. Although my beloved pond and the environment that surrounds it is a bit upset at the moment, I still get to observe critters and various local and migratory birds. I visit winter, spring, summer and fall. It has really helped my mental state through the last couple of years.

TOYS -- Playthings of the Past

My sister had a toy called "Mister Machine" which was manufactured by The Ideal Toy Company in the 1960s.  I had NO idea that Mister Machine was influenced by MEGO MAN, a metal robot toy made in the 1950s.  I found a YouTube video of it!!

THEME: Toys

 Toys.

We had them as children and we have them as adults. 

What is your favorite toy? Memory or current. Or a toy you never received.

The Universe Belongs to All of Us


 Inspired, today, by the first photographs released from The James Webb Space Telescope, the culmination of 20 years of work. The ability to see galaxies that formed 13.1 billion years ago. And seeing galaxies we have known as we have never been able to view them before.

From Wikipedia:

The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy. As the most powerful telescope ever launched into space, its greatly improved infrared resolution and sensitivity will allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope.
