| Cape Ann MA ~ Sailboat and old Birdseye Building for Mosaic Monday and Blue Monday Life has been busy on Cape Ann MA with creative tasks and events as well as the 'every day' sacred ones we all have. Perhaps, yes, it is all sacred, each day is the gift of time. Transitions happen slowly and sometimes quickly moment by moment. I have felt the weariness of 'transition' recently but ever grateful as I continue to move on my path. Trying to remember 'down time' is good and all part of the life cycle. We are linked with these creative bloggers: sunday sketches carpe diem haiku shadow shot sunday 2 mosaic monday creative everyday happy blue monday Wishing you the best in each day. xxooo Your posted comments always delight us in every way.

Always lovely traveling through your days.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your sketching, the pinks are gorgeous, so happy and pretty :) Your blog is always so peaceful and calming. I enjoy visiting. Thank you for sharing your talents.
ReplyDeleteyour pix are always fresh and interestingly captured....I love the 'background' for your haiku - is it a photo of yours, or just a texture?
ReplyDeleteMy fav is the Chinese painting - looks like silkscreen.,,
Hi Joanne ~ the photo for haiku is mine as is the photo beside the asian brush painting ~ ^_^ Thanks for asking.

I love the elegance of your branch of cherry blossoms. The style reminds me a bit of traditional Japanese ink drawings.

ReplyDelete"Ever grateful"...that's the key to everything, isn't it? Cape Ann looks like such a beautiful place. Love that Asian brush painting as well. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your part of the world. Yes, every day is sacred. A good reminder.
ReplyDeleteLove you haiku today and your blossom watercolour Carol :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the Ernest Haas quote! Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these blues. I especially like that shade of blue on the door jam.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Carol.
Thanks for your comment Carol, I remember my grandmother wearing aprons like these. Times were different then. Even though she had a very substantial life style I would bet her closet wasn't bulging with clothes. What have our closets come to? I saw one on HGTV yesterday that was big as my very large bedroom. HA! I do wear aprons as I disclosed in my post, but not like my grandma way back when. They were like a mini dress over her dress. She never wore anything else.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. Especially your pretty blues. The quote was awesome and my feelings exactly.
xo, Jeanne
Love your post. Enjoying them all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by :)
