Great variety in the post for both the eye and the mind. I love them all, but am really fond of your Cape Ann shot.
ReplyDeleteSpring is on its way even if Cape Ann feels chilly with briny breezes. The trees will looks much warmer with leafy boughs. Until then, the bare trees leave artistic shadows! I love the symmetry stacked stones in the rural areas...the watercolor parrots are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yogi, great variety and I do love them all, Carol! Hope your weekend is going well! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove all your artistry - of art and photos! You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely stroll through your day. "parched moments"...wonderful phrase. Great zen rocks...my term. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol!!! lovely artwork and lovely photos!!!

ReplyDeleteLove the watercolour of the birds. Your haiku matches its background. Love all of it really, wonderful.
ReplyDeletelove your colourful parrots Carol! Happy SS!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and your parrots are beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteMy shadow is long in the morning, because it is eager to go outside faster than me.
ReplyDeleteIt is long in the evening, falling behind, as is reluctant to come back.
Wonderful vibrant parrots! <3 Lovely photos and haikus - as always! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and colourful birds and I really love the shadows you captured

ReplyDeleteNice post full of art Carol. What a wonderful watercolor. I like your haiku very much. Thank you for your daily effort.

ReplyDeleteMy Shadow Shots
Your comment is always appreciated, have a blessed Sunday!
I love the shadows, but i want more the stones. We just saw the same here near the waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteWow am just mad about those parrots! Lovely photos as well
ReplyDeleteI see those tulips heralding spring for you! In spite of the shadow of the leafless tree..
ReplyDeletelove those bright and colorful birds!! so cheerful!
ReplyDeleteLoving these signs of spring!
ReplyDeleteI love the Blue Monday picture, it's very serene. And I love the parrots...they make me think of warm weather!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, Carol...I wish you could teach me how to sketch. I just love your things. Now that I am really retiring asap, maybe I can go back to it. Took many art classes thru the years, but have always felt like I was a dim wit at it. Sewing, quilting, and knitting,...another thing. Feel right at home. Back to your post. Your mosaic is so pretty. The stones are stacked sort of like the hoo doos we create in our creek out front. Happy Week :-) genie
ReplyDeleteI like the expression of the birds. Lovely collage and words too! Happy ppf!
ReplyDeleteI love those colorful birds. Great art.
ReplyDeleteYou are a busy woman! All your creative pursuits flow together nicely. I like the way you used only color details for the parrots.
ReplyDeleteWonderful variety. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteI do love your cute parrots, wonderful watercolor. And the gulls following the fishing boat is a cool shot. Wonderful collection of images, thanks for sharing. Have a happy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of photos. Take care and have a wonderful week:)

ReplyDeleteA Good Fish Story
Your watercolor is so beautiful. These are just the colors we love here in Florida! How talented you are. And the big smooth rocks are very interesting. I was looking through some seashells today and sorting out a few rocks I've picked up on the seashore. Sweet hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou poetry is visual art as well as literature!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots and words; such a stunning post.
ReplyDeleteThe parrots are bright and colorful -- I enjoyed viewing all your creativity!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I like the pile of round rocks. Great job on the parrot watercolor. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week.
I really enjoy your blog, but today can see very little of it. The page times out before it downloads. I suspect that your photos are posted at high resolution - that's the usual cause.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. I'll pop back soon and hopefully see more then.
Have a good week
I enjoyed both of your Haiku here. I hope those fish find shelter in your harbour Carol :)
