Art Journal Journey - August Nature's Wonders

I'll give Gill right, I am amazed constantly how we sometimes abuse our nature and it survives so we still can see the most beautiful flowers and wonderful birds and they can find food in the heart of our big cities.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I wish you a good day
