With love...T.D and Company.

Lady and Owl..

See ,how they look at you ,and stare..
they wonder what you're doing there..
In winter snow,in depth of field
under a clear protecting shield
of starry night and light of moon
you came to chase away the gloom
and grey of a clouded mind
to find a new horizon..of different kind

T.D

Have a happy weekend everyone...!

Stepping in to Autumn..

Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft...

Returning home,stepping in to Autumn...I am blessed..I am happy..I am grateful..

Drawing..selfportret..Soleil D'Automne..by the Dutchess.

Forget Me Not....

These images are drawings from the project I am working on at the moment...The drawings came first..the story came after...the other way around you may say..Well, the story was already in my head for a long time...there was just one obstacle..I couldn't find a name for the main character.....

Its the story of a little girl who makes a walk with her grandmother in the Forget Me Not Forest...Its a story about love and remembrance.
Is also a story about Alzheimer...and the feeling of being lost..

When grandmother wanders through the forest and isn't able to find her way home there is her granddaughter to help her.
Together they have a wonderful day and the little girl realizes that you can lose a lot of things in life but that she shall never be without her grandmother...she only has to look in the mirror..

But still...this little girls name....????????

There is still a lot to be done....

Alphabet

Strange things can happen on the Hilltop.There is a very dangerous alphabet running around......And who let It escape,yes ,this little girl.She likes to play hide and seek with the letters,and..the W is really good at it!The girls favorite letter is.... V,its the first letter of her name.V,for.. Victoria.
Little Victoria,living on the Hilltop
