Photography and Haiku Poetry Wed and Thurs


Bird enjoying the Sumac on Cape Ann MA  for Outdoor Wednesday


For Carpe Diem ~ prompt 'tarot'



Homestead, Barn and Silo on North Shore MA  for Rurality Blog Hop



X marks the spot on a Cape Ann MA beach ~ for Alphabe Thursday
Big news ~ Have rented a gallery for the summer/fall 2013 for my photography art. It is exciting and a little 'angst' provoking but it is all part of a adventure called life. Has been a dream for awhile and so it begins ~ Hopefully by Mother's Day weekend ~ my gift to myself. Anyone done this? Appreciate your thoughts.

 We are sharing with these creative bloggers:

 outdoor wednesday

 Wishing you the best in each day.

    Good luck with your venture, I have a friend who has a gallery in the summer months, she finds people love to talk to the person behind the art and it makes thbem more inclined to buy. Love your photos.

    Congratulations, Carol. This is exciting. I suppose I will never be that way again but I would have liked visiting.

    Yes, I have given myself a retirement present, a two year old Mustang convertible back in 2000.

    Wow! What a neat opportunity! Congratulations!

    I had to laugh at your 'x'. For us, 'P' marks the spot with our weiner dog.

    Sigh.

    Thanks for an xcellent link!

    I'd wish you luck but with your talent I don't think you'll need it!

    A++
