Cape Ann MA also has it 'rural' parts as well as its coastal areas. This is just one photo of Essex MA with its marshes and wonderful waterways. Another photo below will show the 'country' ambience that we also have. It is a delightful place to live.

    That does look like a beautiful area - I'll take rural and wilderness any day over a big city.

    Thank you for the "primer" explanations of the watercolor and haiku for novices ...because I am exactly that. I love looking at your work, but have no real knowledge.

    I like your haiku. I really like the watercolor. I like the loose style which is something I can never seem to achieve. The quote is perfect for this day.

    I love the picture of the barn. Whenever I travel, I keep an eye out for these old buildings. There's so much history in them.

    Happy Tuesday!

    That's what I nearly called my book, Mining for Diamonds! THe publisher wouldn't allow it.
    But when dad was dying, a friend told me to look for the diamonds every day! I gave that advice to everyone!

    The well manicured barn is a treat, all too often, they are run down and failing.
