HumpDayHaikus in Jocose July

Yay! I've been able to hit all the haikus so far this year! It helps that I allowed myself to use pictures that I've taken. I hope to get a few more drawings in there, though I have several paintings that I am working on (or thinking about working on! LOL)

Happy 4th of July!

11Jul2018: I've been painting a bit lately. I have 2 huge canvases (30"x 40" and 36"x 48") that I'll be working on relatively soon too! I got a request to paint stuff involving fruit. So here we go!

18Jul2018: Work in Progress... I need to finish the sky on this one, so I'm almost there. Should finish it by the end of the week, but we'll see.

25Jul2018: Torrey Pines is a beautiful place. One of the best (and easiest) hikes in San Diego, with amazing views.

Day 5: Write a 20-line poem about a memorable moment in your life.

We arrived in the dead of night.

I could not see any street sign that was supposed to be in sight.

Smart phones were not prevalent during those days.

And my friend was patient even when I took us in the wrong ways.

We checked into the hotel room and were in a happy state.

We had finally arrived in the Grand Canyon State.

We had a full week off from work, 

and were so happy we wanted to twerk!

We decided to take a road trip not too far from home

But far enough away that we could roam.

In the morning, we dressed up warm

Being from California, you'd think it was a massive snow storm.

 My friend had been here before

I had no idea what was in store

To my surprise and utter delight

I opened the door and saw an amazing sight!

From all sides we saw a landscape of Red Rocks

The scenery was so beautiful it nearly knocked off my socks!

Sometimes it's great to be ignorant of the destination

Especially when there is such awesome visual stimulation.

November 2 - I'm behind on my assignments! And NaNoWriMo has started, and I'm behind on that too. So, I'll pick this back up after I move and after I make some progress with my short story collection. 

I was a bit ambitious and now I just need to prioritize. 

As Arnold, as Terminator said,... "I'll be back..."
