Hi Carol,

Namaste :)
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeletePlenty of blue. Thanks for playing today.
Happy Blue Monday!
Wonderful shots of your dog! Such a cutie! And the moon ... gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA very nice variety presentation. Love the little puppy.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos indeed.
ReplyDeleteYour photos this week are extra special! Of course the little dog with eyes shut and open is best of all and then I especially like the schooner with all the sails set.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading a blog post about some quilts that were made about grief. Then I read your haiku. It was fitting. Your little doggie buddah and the Muse in the first picture look a lot alike. Cute.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures -- as always! And, as always, ArtMuse steals my heart!! The Schooner is beautiful!! Wish I were on it right now!! Have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteThe “I can’t see you” picture is a great shot. Your little muse has personality plus!
ReplyDeleteThe boat shots are very refreshing and make me homesick.
ReplyDeleteYour dog is such a cutie pie. Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post - I love that schooner, and of course your little dog, who does look hot. Don't worry, your beautiful fall and winter will be back before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI love your Buddha!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images! I love the doggie Buddha and the schooner. Enjoy your week, Carol!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, I love the first image of the schooner. And your buddha is cute. Art Muse Doggie is always one of my favorites from you! Love the moon shot too. Beautiful post! Enjoy your day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a sail on that classic schooner. Not as a party though, just all on my own to listen to the wind through the masts and rigging.
ReplyDeleteZoe with closed eyes is soooo funny!! What a treat to see those sailboats in the harbour!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all great but I always prefer your little doggie's pictures ! Such a cute face !
ReplyDeleteLooks like a grooming has been done recently...your doggie is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the little green boat too:) Adorable photos and captions for Artmuse dog! Love your Buddha too. Greta shot of the moon and lovely haiku. I love how you see life thru your lens-XO
ReplyDeleteAwww -your dog is adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour doggie shots add such wonderful flavor to the post.
ReplyDeleteHe is a prolific poser!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what you are up to!
ReplyDeleteLove the Buddha dogs ... Wednesday AND Thursday versions ;))). And Saturday's poser. And everything in between. CapevAnn is SO beautiful in the summer!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series. ArtMuseDog is adorable with her eyes tightly shut. I would love to take a ride on that old schooner.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun choices, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI need to explore your beautiful part of the world. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteBut, I can see you, Art Muse Dog. You are adorable!
ReplyDeletesend your little dog here, we just had the coldest ever winter.
ReplyDeleteArt Muse Dog never fails to make me smile.
ReplyDeleteHad not realized there were two full moons this month....too cloudy/rainy here to notice♪
ReplyDeleteI like the shot of Art Muse Dog with her eyes closed! And great moon shot!!
ReplyDeleteThe moon was well photographed. Have a lovely weekend. Hope it's not too hot.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol and Artmuse Dog, another wonderful week of photos. That little boat is so cute. It reminds me of a tugboat, which then has me thinking of the cartoon of MIckey Mouse whistling at the wheel of one. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe View from the Top of the Ladder
Love the boats on the water - it's been perfect for that this summer!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images of great variety.
ReplyDeleteI always love the boats you have and I do think your little dog is looking like the Buddha.
ReplyDeleteYour haiku... is so lovely Carol. What a feast of pics this week! Love your little Buddha, both statue and your little muse first looking inward, than out! I think you will have great fun swimming with that school of fish! Thank you Carol and have a super weekend!
ReplyDeletethe 'school of fish' will provide me even more contemplative time ~ thanks for 'visiting'xx
DeleteThank you for sharing your week...What a delight, in many ways. Visiting here always causes me to smile! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad we bring you a smile ~ Thanks for visiting! xx
DeleteHappy Weekend to you,
artmusedog and carol
Even the fish are a bit warm, evidenced by their drooping fins. And look! Your own wee buddha pup.
ReplyDeleteDelightful haiku! and lovely pictures as always! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely poem and fish sketch. Artmusedog is so adorable! So nice to see you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your wonderful week with us
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by my blog today
Much love...
So glad you have beauty surrounding you!
ReplyDeleteooooh! I'm so in love with your little dog!! Epic cuteness!!! Your photography is beautiful and so serene. Tee hee the picture of your little dog with its eyes closed and the doggy Buddha's expressions look similar.... he is a character!!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, I am stopping back to say thank you for linking up and sharing your cute Art Muse doggie and I love your fish sketch.. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I am using the Canon SX40. It has super zoom and no extra lenses are needed..
Deletelove your cute little posing pup. :)
ReplyDeleteI like Wednesday and Thursday.
ReplyDeleteLovely skies and sailboat on the water! The clay dog meditating is so cute...and your real dog is always cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe quote made me thinking. It is true wealth will give the ability to fully experience life. But on second thoughts, I think whether one has wealth or not a person will fully experience life. A person with wealth can get many things which a poor man cannot get. But a poor man also experiences many things which a wealthy man may not experience. Small things brings great happiness in a poor man's life but even fantastic, magnificent, expensive things many not make a rich man happy. Well, this quote can be a subject of great discussion.
Your photos are wonderful. I loved the first photo very much. You dog is so cute.
Your haiku is thought provoking. When we are amid natural beauty we become one with nature. This is probably the reason why Henry David Thoreau went to live in Waldon Pond.
Best wishes
Art Muse is just too adorable! Cute, cute, cute. Love your fish sketch..I wish I had just an iota of creativeness about me, but I guess God skipped right over me when he was handing out artistic talent. :)
ReplyDeleteI just adore your little pup and that cute Budda!
ReplyDeleteWonderful moon and boats...love ArtMuseDawg as always!
ReplyDelete;-)
Art Muse Dog has funny expressions. The little boat almost looks like a toy, especially compared to the schooner. It sounds lovely with all this heat to be out in a sail boat.
ReplyDeleteThursday's Buddha looks very thoughtful Carol.
ReplyDeleteArtmusedog is adorable! :)
ReplyDeletewe are thinking alike today, enjoyed your daily photos!
ReplyDeletewhat a great week, i did not have a favorite day!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyour fish are charming

Beautiful work....with camera, and pen. Your little doggie is adorable. We have a little Shih Tzu that reminds me of your dog.
ReplyDeleteLove your puppy photo, and the fish look interesting. I hope you show them when they are finished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine schooner, I would love to go
ReplyDeleteon a ride on it :)
Can't wait to see you school of fish getting
