Generative AI-assist of the pair escaping the yard in Touché & Robin story.

Prompt: illustrate a Brittany dog jumping over a garden gate with a robin on its back

This generative AI image was to be the opening scene to my Touché * Robin story. 

Prompt: "As the sun dances through the leaves, a gentle Brittany spots a robin in distress. With the utmost care, it approaches, understanding the fragility of the moment. Gently picking up the wounded bird, it finds solace under the shade of an ancient oak. There, in a sanctuary of green, the Brittany lays the robin down, offering comfort with a tender lick. In this act of kindness, a silent bond forms, a reminder of the unexpected guardians in nature's tapestry."

Daisy always loved to romp in this giant field of marguerites. 

Mona was our dear and first Brittany. We rescued she and her brother Touché when they were not yet weened because, on their 10th day, mother darted onto the busy road and lost her life. Mona added family love and excitement for fifteen more years.

Touché: "Come on, Dad. Throw it again!"

Touché and his sister, Mona, love diving into the Pacific surf. Especially to fetch their precious balls. The tennis ball are their 'invisible leashes'. Except one day it didn't work – Mona strayed across the "Dog Beach Ends Here" sign. That cost us a $75 municipal fine.

My wife and I always enjoy knowing our dogs are happy. So the ticket was worth it.

San Diego County has the best dog beaches!

The Mushroom Fairy is one of many wonderful pieces of art placed along the San Diego waterfront. I toook this photo during San Diego's annual Tall Ships Week.

This was one of my San Diego Poster series

It's of the beautiful, rainbow fields of ranunculus flowers that blossome every spring. They are commercially grown for their "corns."

This is of a series of posters I made for San Diego.

I took the photo as Charlton Heston was skippering the Star of India departing San Diego Harbor. under full sail. 

The Star of India, based at the San Diego Maritime Museum, is the world's oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863.

Lexie and Tango patiently watch for Karen's return. They seem to sense when she begins her return trip and immediately await by the front window.

Lexie is guarding her beautiful backyard.
