Up above the world so high ~ June

Prompt: to create a postcard with just the moon, just stars or a combination of stars and moon.

I question the existence of the moon. There are no stars, just guardians in frequencies. But the world is on a lowest frequency ever in her his-tory, because of these invaders with low vibrations who think they are all that.

van bleijswijck acrylic paint ~ titanium white, primary yellow

Fade away girl

I've never heard of this artist and his techniques. In his works the dress of the girls and ladies seem to merge or fade into the background. It is a challenge for me to try a new technique.

The vintage tag cut at 1,5" and it is out of the Forever young cartridge.

Oh, sweet mango

This mango tasted so good, so good and I decided to sow the seed. Oh, my sweet mango. The leaves are like burgundy dark, beautiful dark colour and shiny leaves. A second mango tree is coming up on her side and I have a third one in another pot growing up.

I have no idea which plant is in front of the mango tree. We'll know that after a couple of weeks;))

Our bees are doing good!

The temperatures are up and down, so there is quite some differences during a day. We feed our bees, but I have noticed that they consume one bottle a day. They still have to go out to do their work s.a. collecting nectar and pollen. To help them with food, but to still stimulate them to go out I will feed them every one day and see how they do.

They are building combs. I also saw a couple of them on the entrance cleaning up.
