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!
ReplyDeleteI love the iron work on the roof! And is that an antenna?
ReplyDeleteYour homes are so alive, I could swear they have souls.
