| 'Outside My Door' |
Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist soul and explore what creativity can do to enhance the inner spirit.
Today, being Wednesday, we are exploring what photography, writing or reading poetry, and being silent and viewing various photographers can do to enhance our inner spirit. Beauty is especially good for the soul. At 52 Photos Project, the photos are focused on the prompt for the week: ' What is right outside our door.'
Poetry at Haiku Sensational has more wonderful haiku, Japanese poetry. The prompt for the week was 'happiness' ~ below are my haiku:
haiku
sunshine happiness
filling soul warming body
light shining through day.
strolling on the beach
leash in hand, cutey dog romps
happiness each one.
on deck, reading book
lolling the day away, be
happiness abounds.
(carol l mckenna)

QUOTE FOR THE DAY: 'Seek silence, gladden in silence, adore silence.' ( Deng Ming-Dao)
I enjoyed your haiku today and the photo for watery wednesday. That is a gorgeous photo of a harbour. I have GOT to get out more.
ReplyDeletei would have loved that cutie dog ;)
ReplyDeletecare for those age’d until the end
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteYour poem and harbor photo are very inspiring. Both of them inspire an inner warmth. I especially love the reflections of the boats in the water. The reflect well, and we too should reflect well on the beauty around us.
I was looking for your linking tool but didn't see it here. If you have one, let me know where it is and I will link up. I use "inLinkz." I try to get an early start and get my post out there on other sites so others can find me. That's my secret, haha. Plus this week I sent an undisclosed email to last weeks followers telling them that my post was up. I think that helped too.
Have a great week!
Dave
I am your newest follower. Nice to find another blog by someone in Maine. Visiting your state has been on my Bucker List since sixth grade. Perhaps, I will still make it there someday. In the meantime I will be enjoying all your lovely photos and pretending.
ReplyDeletePS. Thanks for the visit to my little yellow frog.
Beautiful grape hyacinth and words too:)

Great feel good haiku.
ReplyDeleteGrape hyacinths take me back to spring as a little girl. They always sprouted up through the rocks in our driveway which amazed me. They don't grow where I live now, so I loved seeing your photo this morning and remembering them.
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku! Happiness is that little dog walking beside us!
ReplyDeleteAwesome haikus! I bet Paka and Muse would love to meet up, they both seem like free and easygoing spirits!
