Skin Deep.

I needed to write, so here is an Etheree and a Tanka about enduring devotion.

See you

My baby

Such joy you bring

Me. I do not see

What other people do.

Beauty is only skin deep

Your devotion makes my heart leap.

You may not have too pretty a face.

Who needs beauty when you can have pure grace.

*****

And you my sweet dog

Always my best support.

Happy together

We have been made immortal

Still one, a beautiful thought.

A little tribute to Emily Carr her monkey Woo and her faithful dog Billy.

    I’m not familiar with her work so appreciate the link. What did you think of the Pacific Northwest? (I’ve always loved this corner of the world. 😊 ) ❤️❤️

    So glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully we can conserve it all. I worry humans will spoil it someday.
    Did you take the ferry to Victoria and back?

    Yes we did what a fantastic crossing that was sadly no whales on show but we saw some seals when we took a ferry ride to Granville Island for breakfast one morning 💜

    Sorry the whales weren’t out. Afraid they’re an endangered species these days. Sounds like you had a beautiful day, though. 💚💚🌲🌲

    Certainly did and believe it or not while we were there the Red Arrows , the RAF’s display team flew over our heads letting out their red, white and blue plumes it made a perfect day better 💜💜💞🛡️
