In Memory of My Charly Girl
Another photo of Charly mixed with a painting of a palm...the photo was taken on one of the most beautiful and deserted beaches in the Bahamas. We would go for days and not see another person or boat. Shells and sea glass untouched by human hands, bright orange starfish and conch scattered the ocean floor. I still dream of it and when my soul aches from all the craziness of this world, I return to that place in my mind.
OK .......I sooo forgot to post my Buried Treasure..........Thanks for the Heads Up Seth ..from The Altered Page.... .the brains behind this Treasure Hunt! I think my brains have been on a LONGGGG vacation.....really.... I am in Houston having a great time with my hubby and just plain 'ole forgot....so sorry!
This is my Buried Treasure
The photo above was one of Charly on a beautiful beach in the Bahamas
I was playing with PS and added a layer of a palm done with wax and inks
I wanted to remember all the great times we had with her
and
Remember
Our travels while living aboard a 41 foot Morgan Classic...those were some of the
Best Times of my Life
My hubby,twin daughters and Charly our Golden Retriever....traveling the most Gorgeous waters in the world.....great memories and the kind of Treasure I will have forever!
Thank you Seth for making me remember.
