    I like tugboats - they are big, slow and powerful. Not so much in good looks but with a functional style that is very useful and elegant in its own way...

    Carol, thank you so much for your many visits to my posts. I have been having trouble getting to your blog when I go to your link on my comments. I came over to Sally's post and clicked on your thumb print photo and finally got through.

    Your photos are stunning and your art muse pup is adorable. The flower shot is so good. I think it is a poppy. I too like tugboats. Such small boats pulling mighty cruise liners is always a wonder to me.

    Happy days to you,
    xo, Jeanne

    What a inspiring view out your studio window. Love the photos of the tugboats... One of the blessings of internet is getting to know bloggers everywhere. And, in getting to know them, getting to experience their parts of the world.

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. I am now following on GFC and Networked Blogs.

    A belated Happy Blue Monday.
