Art Challenge #12: June Bug

June 27th, 2009 · 6 Comments

Dear Mr. Charles,
I just had ta sends you dez here pictures knowing how you’d preciate them. When I went through Mame’s garden- thar be a June bug munching on a leaf! Den-when I went to the beach -dar he was again! Den I sar him sittin’ in a bush with a big old bee buzzing around and then he went  scampering on a rose bud! Down by my pond he was up in a tree with a croaker eyeing him. Even when I went to sleeps- he was in my dream looking more like a fairy withouts a face!

 I know it sounds crazy. Momma said I need my head examined, but every wheres I be goin’ that June Bug be.

It gots me to thinkin’. That June Bug’s a lots like me! He sure does make the most of his days and preciate his friends.

Well Sir, say hello to William and Harry. I hope da weather’s good fer ya thar in the UK.
Your good friend,

    You guys made some beauties. My bug still remains not quite done. During the final week of the challenge my sweet feline companion of nearly 18 years, Zack, made a sudden decline in health and he passed on the day of the submission, so I am sorry that I didn’t complete it, after suggesting the topic… These are gems!

    Not a a problem Karin. My heart goes out to you. I lost one of my kitty loves a couple years ago and it nearly killed me. No sweeter love to be found.
