Sketchers, Photographers, Poets, Sunday


Sunday Best Photo ~ Rockport MA
Le chat ~ Sunday Sketches



CARPE DIEM ~ haiku ~ (prompt ~ fragile)




THOSE REMEMBERED ~ CORAZON 


SUNDAY POST ~ Another 'across the pond' post ~ since it is now Sunday 'over there'. My creative spirit has been indulged with a sunny day yesterday and somewhat sunny day today. Consequently, the first photo was taken of a friend's door, another was taken of lobster pots with sparrow perched on top of one them and another was a back street on Bearskin Neck with delightful window boxes of mums. The watercolor sketch is for Sunday Sketches. Haiku is Chevre's 'haiku a day', Carpe Diem.
Last, but not least, is the Universal Queen again for Rebecca's month of October post ~ remembering those we love who have passed on into the 'netherworld' and at this time of year the theory is that they come very close to earthland. You just have to listen for the 'whispers' calling you ~ Listen ~ 


I am remembering three very significant women in my life, my Mom, Grandmother and Aunt. They gave me love, taught me respect for all people, animals and things. They broadened my horizons through travel and cultural events. They gave me life.

Today we are sharing with:

  43. Hello dear Carol, many gifts here today... I love your haiku, such fragility, but also a strength in the recognition of being buffeted by the winds of life... I loved hearing about your mom, grandmother, and aunt. I love the thought that my grandmother carried me also, as she carried my mom, who had the eggs that would make me... it is a comforting thought, this lineage stretching back as we step forward. XO
