My submission for Illustration Friday's "poem" is from my 2004 HomeMade calendar and the title is "Beach House". This is for the month of July and the quote is: "I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my seaborn treasures home." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

What a fantastic place to be, it makes me want to go there for a visit!
I love the iron work on the roof! And is that an antenna?
Your homes are so alive, I could swear they have souls.
Fabulous. I love that little house.
For me, it's another hellish subject this week, so well done. xxx
Nice work and cool poem. I like the way the houses interact.
Would be a great little cottage here in Huntington Beach, great roof for looking out at the ocean.
It's lovely, Love.

The rain falls almost the every day at home.
But there is splendid sunset!

This makes me wish for a life I've never known...very beautiful!
Aaah! It is great to be here. I missed two IF posts from you because I was in the Black Hills and there was no Internet access, just the dark sky bejeweled by the stars.
How beautiful! Love the poem too, Valerie!
Oh... I want to live there! It looks so happy!!!!
a poem and a dream!!!

I always long to see the inside of your houses!
I love this, Val!...and all of the details...the widows walk...and Babs in the window!
Such a wonderful place to be! if it's so beautiful outside...i can't imagine the inside!
Love the Ralph Waldo house! But, then again, any reference to Ralph is excellent. It brightens my day.
the complimentary colours make this piece absolutely delicious. I really enjoy the little details you apply here and there. The counterbalance of the houses in the background is the perfect touch... bravo!
i like the blueberry color of this house and it must be an awesome place!
all that is very nice !!!
