52 Photos Project, Haiku Sensational and Wordless


Prompt word 'Pink' for 52 Photo Projects



Welcome to our blog where we view life from the eyes of an artist's soul and explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit.


NOTE: ~ Magical Monday Meme runs thru Thursday ~ Come join ^_^


Today's post is for Wednesday which means linking to photography blogs, haiku blog and wordless wednesday. It has been raining here on Cape Ann MA all day. Now the fog is rolling in. ArtMuse Dog got groomed today and she looks pretty spiffy.
To enhance my inner spirit, I did an Asian style brush painting of the flowers above. It is not finished but the process certainly enhanced my spirit on this grey day. To further enhance your spirits we are linked with 52 Photos Project, Haiku Sensational, Aquariann's Wordless Wednesday, Sue's Wedding Photos                and Dave Kellers Wordless Wednesday. Lots of blogs to view and see various photography, and read haiku.

Haiku for Haiku Sensational

haiku

I.

road trip cross country
drifting from lane to lane, awed
big wide horizon.

II.

sands of time scattered
drift after drift sand dunes rise
ocean eroding.

III.

adrift on rocky coast
waves pounding boat against shore
winds are shifting soon.

You also might check out my Monday Blog Meme and the Creative Process Page listed above just below my blog header.
Variety ~ Heinz 57 old Boston yankees' used to call it.


Enjoy and comment on the very creative blogs and have yourself a magical and happy week.



Hugs and namaste,

and





We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^
She also thinks G+ is pretty neat.

    I always felt 'drifting' was aimlessness, but your haiku set me straight....It's ok to drift; in fact, your wonderful set feels calming....
