My submission for Illustration Friday's "brave" is a cropped version of my idea of "Home of the Brave". I had to crop an illustration I have already submitted before because I am pressed for time but I love to submit for the word :D it is a joy to play along each week! This is from my 2004 HomeMade calendar and it is called "Field House". I live in an area where the Chumash Indians lived.
I am taking care of Nomi and I walked her behind the house into the park and we stumbled upon
the most beautiful mushrooms. So I thought I might share a little slice of my world and it is very spring-like today :) Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!

Her there ValGal!
Love your "brave" choice. Very nice! It must be cool living near Indian territory. Love your Photos. I was smiling when I saw the mushrooms because... I keep my camera with me and whenever I see mushrooms I get a picture. :o) I just think they are so cool. These shrooms that you found are very, very cool!
Preciosa ilustración y preciosas fotografias, que suerte vivir en un sitio tan bonito. Besos.

'love the photos! Spring-like weather = :)
I found such a quiet calming moment when I came by to see what you have done with BRAVE this week. To take a walk with you and your camera through the grassy places to see mushrooms and magical houses in the landscape and that wonderful dog as well was an unexpected delight.
ha ha. I never even thought of that. great idea and lovely drawing
very nice tee-pee!
oh Nomi is so cute, did you find any Gnomies under those mushrooms?
i love those mushroom pictures. I kept half-expecting I'd see a little person living under them.
