Beth is our host this week, and she has chosen a wonderful theme – Wings. So many possibilities and a great variety of posts is expected! Please visit her lovely site for more inspiration.

My first thought is of course birds – and bats, and what would I choose if I hadn’t visited the Galapagos Islands? Here are some favourites, and among them is the albatros – with the largest wingspan of all flying cretures. The wandering albatros can reach a wingspan of 12feet!

Back in Europe and at home, butterflies and other insects dominate – at least my garden.

Birds again – big birds at home, in Ireland – and of course the silver birds. In churchyards we find beautiful angels watching, and art in general has always depicted angels. Nike is a beauty.

Last week you showed us some really creative images in your responses to Patti’s challenge Mysterious. I must say I enjoyed them immensely. Now we are looking forward to seeing your responses this week, and be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists and include a link back to Beth’s original post.

Please check in on Saturday, December 6 at noon eastern time when it is my turn, Ann-Christine/Leya, to host the challenge.

Until then, I hope you will find time to relax, to be kind and take care of each other.
