Artists,Poets, Photographers Monday


Fisherman of 'Glosta' ~ for Mellow Yellow Monday




Welcome to A Creative Harbor sharing our world of creativity with photography, haiku (poetry) and art. We are all creative in our own way. Here the focus is on photography, poetry and art. However you find ways to express yourself creatively is good for the mind, body and spirit. For me haiku, photography and some of my art provides me the mode to focus and center myself and enhance my ability to attend to the 'now' and what is right in front of me ~ the sacred in the every day ordinary.

    Happy New Year Carol. You and your work are both so inspiring. The picture of the kids sledding reminded me of the park we used to go to when I was young. It is great to look back fondly and so much fun to live in the present as well. Have a wonderful 2013.
