Photography and Haiku Poetry Wed and Th


And you think I am 'just a dog'? for Blog Paws Wednesday



For Carpe Diem  ~ prompt ~ 'Tower' from Tarot Cards



Misty Morning Sunrise for Outdoor Wednesday



Poppies sprouting up everywhere for Rurality Blog Hop



'A' is for Art in the Park for Alphabe Thursday


Sending lots of healing energy and prayers to those suffering from tornados and much worse weather than we have.
 Mother Nature is sure spinning us around.
My 'yorkie assistant' and I have managed some walks despite the weather. Grateful, as my mind needs periodic clearing and walking does that for me and I also sleep better. Nature is where I played as a child and I still love to be out doors. ^_^

We are sharing with these creative bloggers:

Wishing you the best in each day.
