Lovely moody skies, Carol, and great captures for the day!! Hope you and ArtMuse Dog have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely place to visit, so peaceful and serene in many ways, and these lovely pictures, awesome. I am enjoying nature this weekend, loving it in fact. Wishing you a great one!
ReplyDeletebeautiful post and i love your sky photo.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. My favorite is black and white.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous skies - love those seats on the cliff.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, I love especially the black and white with the two benches. Makes me think of a couple in love !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moody skies! Happy sky watching.
ReplyDeleteMy sky.
Love your beautiful PPF piece today Carol!
ReplyDeleteHard to choose a favorite from today's selections , but if I must it's your harbor sunrise. You've really captured the feel of winter letting go to spring. Also, some wise words in your haiku mosaic.
ReplyDeleteA question for you Carol- notice that you sometimes combine several different memes in one post. Do your readers appreciate that approach? I think its important to comment as well as post, but find it hard to visit a lot of my blogger friends every day. Instead, I try to read all their entries for the week and comment. I'm just trying to decide whether to do a combined post on a weekly basis or still use the daily/several times a week approach. Your thoughts?
Fay ~ many people do multiple memes ~ more efficient in a way ~ Readers hard to tell what they like about that method but I am getting lots of wonderful commenters ~ Only recently cut back on posting ~ used to do everyday and I found it too much ~ trying to simplify my life.It is really your choice ~ do what works best for you. Have a great weekend ^_^
Deletei love the soft seaside skies but the black and white was awesome.

Love your watercolor and ink.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your very creative self.
beautiful images as always. love that watercolor.. and i really like the suggestion of a Cancerian's hidden persona in your haiku ^^
ReplyDeleteYou always seem to evoke some sort of emotion with your posts. I don't know why but I always find images of empty seats quite melancholy. There you are... you've done it again. :-) Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe bench looks so lonely, but you know someone will come to visit soon.
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice painting and beautiful photos and affectingly Haiku. I reminded of a Japanese poem, "I am bathed in tears to the islet beach and play with a crab." The meaning is different from your Haiku. But I felt Nature healing is almost the same.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not being able to appreciate the beauty of haiku because of the translation, my oinglé not good enough torque understand the beauty of the poem, but the beauty of the images. Saludos
ReplyDeleteI like your black and white. Those seats contrast beautifully with the rocks.
ReplyDeleteLove your art, so wise, gentle and thoughtful. <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies! And your watercolors and ink is just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,
Stephanie
Your photos always bring joy to my heart! The sunrise over the harbor is especially beautiful. Nature is indeed the best of healers!!
