Photography, Haiku, Word Play Wed and Thurs


For Walk and Click ~
On our walk ArtMuse Dog and I saw this kite caught up in the tree.



For Carpe Diem ~ prompt ' hazy moon' ~ 3-27



For Rurality ~ Raven I believe



For Blog Paws ~ 'Do you think I can catch that seagull?'
on Cape Ann MA beach ~ a bit warmer today



For Carpe Diem ~ prompt 'kite' 3-28



For Alphabe Thursday ~ (S)  Sea ~  at Cape Ann Harbor 

Spring is approaching here at Creative Harbor on Cape Ann MA. I see signs of green and flowers shooting up through the ground. We walked again today and although the wind had a bit of a chill, the sun was out and we had a wonderful walk. ArtMuse Dog was able to show off her new 'hair cut' and her pasted on earrings. She is just a 'kool' dog with a very 'hip' groomer. We also visited some people and had great chats and treats for (artmusedog). We checked in with Cape Ann Giclee about the art and photography show for 'friends of the blog' Good Morning Gloucester which is this Friday night. Anna and James are very professional and creative people and am looking forward to having my giclee photography in the show and continuing to work with them in the future. Check them out ~ great people.

Hope all is well with you and that good weather is upon you.

We are linked today and thursday with these creative bloggers:

    Thanks, Carol, for your taking part in today's meme. Spring has arrived here as well, but it is still very cold, especially the wind is icy! Have a great day with your ArtMuse Dog! He looks great with his new hairdo.

    I guess there were no adults to guide the hands of that 'tree-kite'....The one-line haiku is really lovely - hope the oracle predicts no more snow! Heh, Zoe, to catch a seagull you'd have to sprout wings, or at least longer legs! As always, today's post was so entertaining..
