Illustration Friday: Fierce

After the fierce competition of the tennis match a little relaxation and a cool drink was required.  Watching Wimbledon, not actually playing, inspired this post.

Illustration Friday: Hoard

Yesterday we went to a "pick your own" farm for strawberries.  It was a beautiful, clear day and the berries looked like rubies beneath the lush leaves.  As we were about to have the berries weighed we estimated that we had about four pounds.  We were surprised to learn that we had picked eight.  It felt as if we were going to "hoard" what we had picked. If we can't eat them all within the next few days we'll have to make jam.  I don't think that will happen.

Illustration Friday: Forgotten

At the end of the day the tide washes away the sandcastle and it is "forgotten".
