ReplyDeleteAh! What a joyful post Carol. All those wonderful paintings and photos and than those haiku in the middle of your post, like it's the heart of your post. I think that's true, as I think back to other posts I always find the haiku in the middle, in the heart of the post. Thank you.

If you have Pete and Paul, you need to have Mary too. I think my Ms. Wee posed for your blue and gold, hmmmmmm? The magnolia tree intrigues me. They are blooming here too, but I have never seen one without green leaves with the blooms. i think my fav, though, is Art Muse Dog's ears! :)
ReplyDeleteIf that sky were tinted grass-green instead of sky-blue, those clouds would look like melting snow! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the water reflection photo (which wouldn't be complete without the Art Muse Dog ears, of course!) - such soft and pretty effects. And who doesn't love a singing bird or a flowering tree? Such lovely, peaceful photos.
thank you for the collection of beautiful images to begin my day!
ReplyDeleteYour parrots are fabulous! I love the clouds in the vast sky...all your pics are just beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful selection of words and photos
ReplyDeletehurray for magnolia blossoms, and jonquils, and parrots, and poetry, but mostly, hurray for Zoe's ears and reflections...
