Us humans, the rusty pups and our friendly beaver
have all been known to enjoy the fruits of
the old apple tree up by the pond.
She's getting a bit long in the tooth
(the apple tree that is)
Do you remember the W palm trees in
'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'?
She proudly forms half a W!
She has a lovely moss covered constant companion
Her bark is getting a little bit crispy crunchy
and evidence is building that
the woodpeckers visit her quite often.
Hope she's okay
and yet she still enjoys
stretching up towards the heavens
We're celebrating today the birthday of
a young man who is pretty darned well okay
my favourite of artists
the baby of this family
Happy Birthday
Mark!
Indeed, Happy Birthday, Mark!

ReplyDeleteMy warmest birthday wishes for Mark; my son Mark is also an artist but sadly I am not sure where and how he is right now. So I am channelling my motherly thoughts to your Mark. I wish him many more artful years.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your 'baby' Mark. Lovely everything here today :)
ReplyDeletePS Robyn- heartfelt thoughts to you.
You have every right to be proud of Mark - I've seen his art and he's amazing. Happy birthday to him!
