friday fancy

A rainy day and too many photographs from last weekend's visit to my parents' cottage in Hanford Bay inspired a mirage. I wish there were oversized leafy sea dragons swimming in the lake. In June, the shores are still littered with winter's debris. My feet are haunted by the very decayed deer I stumbled over when chasing the kids down the beach last weekend.  By this time next month, the beach will be clear- the only remnants will be the drift wood fashioned into teepees for Independence Day bonfires.

Happy Friday! Happy 1st of June! It feels more like the 1st of October here. I hope wherever you are, there is warmth whether it be from the sun or in the smile of someone you love.

      Thanks, Corrie! I do love a good hunkering in day. It's been coldish here. I actually had to put socks on yesterday.

    Beautiful painting. Magic. It's cold and grey here in NSW Australia.

      We are across the world from each other- but we share the same cold and grey day:-)I find that comforting.
      Thank you for your kind words about the illustration. It is actually a photo I took of the baby at the beach that I over saturated and then manually smudged and smoothed and drew over in layers. The sea dragon, was hand drawn though.
