ReplyDeleteI'm new at this and not sure my comment went through so here it is again. I too get inspiration for poems when out walking. I love your photos and haiku.
ReplyDeleteHowling winds scare me. I know then that the storm it goes with is usually fierce.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from SHW.
Everything here is wonderful! Your photos are beautiful and loved the haiku!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I had to look up where Cape Ann is, you're a couple hours north of us--we just moved to New Bedford from PA and loving living by the water!! Enjoyed your haikus and your flag painting--nice!!
ReplyDeleteYour beach photos are beautiful and relaxing. Love those rocks and the gull. Lovely haiku on the aftermath of the storm :)
ReplyDeleteThe dump truck made me smile - my boys so love driving big trucks on the beach. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! LOVE the gull shots and your artwork with the flag!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I was viewing your lovely images and I thought, "I wonder how far we live from each other?" I think you are on one side of the coast and I am on the other?" The Tonka truck really spoke to me. Little man is coming next week and I think this would be great to have for him!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Great inspiring images - as always!
ReplyDeleteHappy A-Thursday to you!
Beautiful photos - and the tanka trucks too cute!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beach rock photo's. When I saw the first picture it looked so much like my home I knew you must be very close by. I am on the north shore of MA. and you are just across the water away in cape ann. I am hoping that the storms we had recently are not indicative of weather to come.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post today! I loved that first Haiku and Mr. Gull!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to blog hop! Love your photography and flag. {:-Deb
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me miss the ocean - don't see much of it living in Montana! Thanks for sharing.

Great photos, as always! I think I like the shot of the Tonka truck on the beach. I gotta know, did you stage this or happen up on it? I mean, I'm never quite so lucky as that. I loved that you were zealous in remember our veterans. I like how your words are mingled together to form such interesting little lines of poetry. Thanks for the visit, my friend! Oh yeah, did Sandy affect you much?
ReplyDeleteNothing staged about the Tonka photo ~ Yankees in New England continue to go to beach on Nov days that are warm and this was a little boys truck and he was being very industrious building in the sand ~ and ArtMuse Dog and I just happened on the scene ~ i love serendipity times like that ~ Yesterday it was the Firemen practicing on the big hook and ladder ~ will post those late ~ thanks for asking ~ Sandy was a lots of wind and rain and no major damage gratefully ~ enjoy the weekend ~ ^_^
