..and now I`m an Artsee Blogger Too

The most beautiful roadside vegetable stall at Sidi Abdullah

The very talented Geri Centonze, sister of very talented Diane of Random Thoughts Do or `Di` has set up a new blog today which aims to provide a place for art bloggers of all different mediums (photography, fabric arts, jewelery, paper crafts, digital art, mixed media and drawing and painting) to list their blog (in up to 3 different categories) as a way to help people discover new blogs that might interest them.  It looks like it`s going to be a great way to improve traffic to your blog so whether you are a photographer, quilter or whatever, what are you waiting for?  Click on the button below, get over there and get yourself listed.

A Mud Lark in Oualidia

Yesterday, we celebrated my mum`s big `0` birthday by hopping in the car and traveling south for an hour to the pretty coastal town of Oualidia, which I blogged about here in March.  It had a very different feel to it yesterday with the lovely sandy beach and lagoon crowded with Moroccans enjoying their summer holidays together now that the Baccalaureat results are out and before the onset of Ramadan in a couple of weeks time.

To me,the beach had a feel of yesteryear about it with the small pleasure boats and kids mucking about in pedaloes, and so I edited the photos by applying a 1960s effect to them.

There was the sand boy - as happy as...or a mud lark...

..the birthday girl enjoying her moules...

...and me playing at being incognito

Hope you had a great weekend whatever you were up to!

Shadow Shot Sunday - Our New Front Door

A couple of weeks ago we moved house and this is our new front door. It has steps up to it and I love the shadows cast by the railings.

Linking up with Hey Harriet.  For more shadowy shots, hop over there and join in the fun.

Holiday Mosaic - Week 1

We have been on our hols one week now and we`re pretty settled here.  Tomorrow it`s my mum`s 70th birthday (she looks amazing for her age doesn`t she?) and we`re heading down the coast to Oualidia tomorrow to swim in the lagoon and eat fish.Yum. 

Happy weekend everyone!
