This week I saw red berries everywhere...
on vines clinging to fences, on ground cover, on trees...
As the leaves drop the berries are left behind just for me to find.
Not to eat, just to sketch...
Rushing off to work
I"m driving into the sun
singing oldies LOUD
ps:
if you wanted an update on how it's going vegan then you can read yesterdays post...
today I am feeling deprived but still not craving sugar! Iam having trouble wanting to eat at all...
Happy Paint Party Friday and Hello all at Haiku my Heart!
I love the reference to the berries as "jellied Jewels" in your last painting.
ReplyDeleteYour haiku made me laugh at your moment of happiness, then I wondered what you considered an oldie.
I will get to your previous post later today. I have been going through drastic dietary changes as well. I want to compare notes.
Thanks for this, made me smile and feel good.
Peace
I hope you get your appetite back soon. Loving your beautiful page you have captured the berries beautifully. Happy PPF, Annette x

Love the delicious looking red berries, good job!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the berries are wonderful, but I really like the asian painting. Really beautiful.
ReplyDelete"Jellied Jewels" and Haiku about driving into the sun and listening to oldies … I adore doing just that although it's been a while since i joined in on a song.Those berries are perfectly rendered and i luv the style of writing and colour chosen, all in harmony and evoking Autumn's beautiful character.
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me to write this for you with your special words….."Jellied Jewels"
I see thru your eyes
autumn "jellied jewels" and sun
Oldies ride the waves
just having some fun …hope you like it…… lol
p.s. your photos are gorgeous.
