Dory Buff
Buttering the silent water
Bobbing slowly into winter
Buffed curves of poignancy
Burnishing our sweet autumn.
Dory Buff is a colour all to itself out here in Newfoundland. The unusual colour is sometimes seen on houses but it's used mainly on these wonderful dories.
I was taken by the surreal nature of this landscape shot right across the water from where I live.
Lucky me. Yes, I know.

Lucky you is right. I had to look up dory. I assumed you meant the boat. Thanks for teaching me something new in such a gorgeous way.
Thanks Marcia, I've now Wiki'd it!
They are wonderful little boats.

You do know how to touch a person's heart, even one who lives very far away from all of that.
I assume you mean the boat colour too. Lovely shade of yellow. Nice poem.
Am I allowed to envy you the view? I love the colour of the little boat. Custard yellow has become very popular for houses in rural Ireland, it is so much softer than the whitewashed plaster.
A beautiful name..... a beautiful place.

It's a very striking colour. The boat stands out immediately even with that glorious landscape behind it.
Delightful!
That's a beautiful view, and I love the poem.
Thank you all.
So very much.
