Artmuse is a cute assistant.. The first shot is lovely, a gorgeous view of the water.. And I love the doggie paw prints.. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI do love Artmuse. So cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, we all love Artmuse, Carol! And I always love your captures for the day!! Thanks as always for sharing your world!! Hope you and Artmuse have a great new week!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photographs! I especially love artmuse dog's signature paw marks...
ReplyDeleteLOVE "on the hunt"
ReplyDeleteOh, the little paw prints really are appealing … the sand looks like a snowy white canvas.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - again the one of the sea is my favorite - beautiful with the bushes and dead tree above the water. "Ipswich river" - I wonder where that name came from first - we have an Ipswich city not far from here.
ReplyDeleteOh, those eyes on your doggie. My little yorkie is at my daughter's home while we are away, and I miss her terribly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Carol! Love the shot for My World, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the little paw prints in the sand. Lucky you to had her for your inspiration,
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. I especially like the one of your little dog companion walking along the beach :-)
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty set of photos. Of course, it's always a joy to see Artmusedog.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of images.
ReplyDeleteSweet shots of your dog and that wood!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, word verification is on. I think Blogger has automatically changed everyone's settings as every single Blogger blog I've visited today has word verification on.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos, and your assistant's signature

Hi! Many beautiful photos! I like your assistant dog's photo very much. Your dog is very cute and I feel your deep love to this dog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is adorable! -Great shots - all of them!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos all. Like the pink vest on aartmuse dog! Nice seascape shot as well.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are exquisite and your haiga truly has the feel of longing and loss. I find autumn carries that quite strongly.
ReplyDeleteI like the lines the trees create in your black and white shot.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol and Art ~~ I hadn't known of 'old wood' as you have it here. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteAlso the Ipswitch brought up memories of when I lived in New Hampshire.
I loved Artmuse's footprints, I have Katrin's on my post today for the "W" word.
..
Really loved your response to longing -- great artwork too. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely series! My favorite is the wood.

i love the sparkle of the stars through the rainy window pain.
ReplyDeleteyou know I meant window pane - right?! :-)
ReplyDeletei like your sky shot! and cute pup footprints. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical capture that first image is!
ReplyDeleteLove your sky picture, but the other once are also very beautiful !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sequence of shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic post ... so many lovely things to read and see!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fall scenes! I love that first shot.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love that first photo. Makes we want to step right into the scene.
ReplyDelete=)
A delightful series of captures here Carol. The texture on the log and the mushrooms have particular appeal. Thank you for sharing. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat sky watch shot!
ReplyDeleteThe mushrooms are calling me.
ReplyDeleteHello...........oooooo0000000OOOOOOOOO
How are you?
oh there's cutie in pink
ReplyDeleteThat's a strange looking starry sky Carol - looks like you had wintry snow. Take care with those mushrooms now and don't let AMD near. The pink jacket is rather fetching and maybe too good for the beach and just for Sunday Best?
ReplyDeleteA lovely group of photos. I really like the perspective on the mushroom shot.
ReplyDeleteLove your assistant's pink coat and the elegant Egret. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the Heron and the fungi on the trees, and of course your dog.
ReplyDeleteI love the lobster buoy reflection! You know, it never occurred to me there might be lobsters in Manchester Harbor! Silly me!
ReplyDeleteThrough the lens you capture a beautiful world and I'm grateful to you for sharing it. The last picture is beautiful, but I certainly did not think about this post as lacking in color up to then. Every picture is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, just stopping back again to say thank you for linking up, have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI've been struggling to come up with strong black and white images but yours are excellent!
ReplyDeleteLove all your great photos...and your sweet little dog is so so cute.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful aspects in every pic, amazing images related to weather and nature. And so lovely quote. Love it! Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and two onderful haiku. The picture of the old dead tree resonated very well, too-
ReplyDeleteI love how the wood also looks like a feather, hard, soft, twisting, like our memories, lovely card from your son, heaertfelt xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet words about my family, we had such fun picking our punkins. I love your assistant out on the hunt!! I too love the wood log.
ReplyDeleteann
