Tired of Love

The woman is from a pen & ink drawing done on a ferry going to Paros, Greece in 2010; the man is a life guard drawn in Costa Rica in 2003; the red glass vase was one of several given to me for my 60th birthday and the ocean view is a photo taken in Solana Beach, California in 2011.  I'm not tired of love but the title seemed to work for this composite.

The Letter M

Cole and Wilson Met again on a tree-lined road near some Morning glories.  They were stopped by a Monkey balancing on a Melon-colored M.  "Mind you don't miss N," the monkey hollered.  "I guess we have to go through the whole alphabet in the right order before we can leave," Cole said to his brother.  "I think you are right," Wilson agreed.  Rather than travel past the Mammal down the Middle of the road, the twins took off in two different directions, not sure where they were going next.

The Letter L

Soon after his encounter with the Katydid, Cole sat down to rest near a Lemon-yellow-colored Letter L.  Two Lizards immediately ran up to him.  "Have you seen a green grasshopper?" the Racerunners asked as they crawled closer to hear Cole's answer.  But Cole did not give the Katydid's Location away.

The Letter K

Cole wandered past a tree covered with Kingfishers then stopped near a King-blue-colored K.  A giant insect jumped in front of him.  "If you see any lizards," the Katydid begged the boy,  "Don't let them know where I am."  "What will you do for me if I help you?" Cole asked. "I'll be Kind and sing you a song to help you find your way out of Alphabet World," the long-horned grasshopper replied.

The Letter J

Wilson Joined his brother and the two boys Jogged up and down a hillside marked by a Jay-blue-colored J.  A giant Jackrabbit watched the twins, ready to flee at any moment.  "That's some Jumpy rabbit," Cole Joked.  "Just so you know," the Jackrabbit called out to the twins.  "You'd be Jangly too if someone wanted you for their dinner."

Last Night

The Letter I

Instead of opening his eyes and finding himself back home, Wilson found himself surrounded by more Insects near a field marked with an Indian-red-colored I.  Then he noticed it was the Irises that were attracting the bugs, and not him, so he Inched safely away.
