Dog meeting, Bohoy

A meeting on the beach.
Serious business.
Lots to sniff about.
Some bones to pick.
Big dogs, small dogs,
fat ones, fit ones.
No fat cats.

Apple picker

Fall begins today.
The sun's a little lower.
The air a little cooler.
Head for the orchard,
the apples are calling.
Not your MAC; but a MACintosh.

3 houses on a Rock

For many many years driving along the coast I've see this same view.
3 houses on a rock.
One big.
One medium.
One small.
They are battered by storms, weathered by sun, enveloped in fog, bathed with sea spray and whipped by the wind. But they stand-- like a rock.
It is one of my familiar and favorite sights, so finally I painted them.

Fran Rose, pastel, Bohoy

We thank you for this earth, our home;
for the wide sky and the blessed sun,
for the ocean and streams,
for the towering hills
and the whispering wind,
for the trees and green grass.

We thank you for our senses
by which we hear the songs of birds,
and see the splendor of fields of sunsets
and starry nights,
and taste autumn's fruit,
rejoice in the feel of snow,
and smell the breath of the flowers.
To Ma Berk

Pastel, 5x7 SOLD
