Poetry and Photography Wed and Thursday


Foggy Day on Cape Ann MA ~ 'Yield of eels' for Outdoor Weds and Alphabe Thursday (Y)



Haiku for Carpe Diem ~ prompt ~ tarot, Hierophant



Rustic Gate in artist village on Cape Ann Ma for Rurality



Julia Cameron's THE ARTIST'S WAY book, written several years ago, was very influential in my daily 'practice of creativity'. There were two major activities she suggested, i.e. 'daily pages and an artist' date; now she has added a third important daily practice, walking as it helps the artist integrate her mind and body and clear her thoughts. I added 'walking' quite naturally several years ago and I continue my daily pages and artist date. They have helped me tremendously to arrive at this creative point in my life. I am ever grateful for my teachers along the way, I am blessed.

We are sharing with these creative bloggers:

Hope you will join us on the creative journey.

Wishing you the best in each day. xxooo

    I can see how walking is beneficial, but what is an artists date?
    Love your foggy photo.

    I'd love to see that foggy harbour for real. A walk around there everyday would be a wonderful tonic for the soul.

    Hi Carol, i love the cold feelings expressed in your photos, maybe that's because ours is really hot, and thanks for visiting my site. Yet i love most the photo where the haiku is written, so lovely!

    I really like that little rustic gate!
    Do you know I have that book and have never finished it. Maybe if I would I could get my creative juices flowing again. Maybe I should start walking too.

    "Yield of eels" - interesting! Eels are too much like snakes to me. Were they actually fishing for them?

  36. JimMay 9, 2013 at 8:56 PM

    I like your "Yield of Eels" "Y" picture, Carole. I am not big on eels so I would rather been some type of edible fish or shell fish.

    That is good advice. I need to make room in my life to follow it.

    Yield of eels -- shrimp would be my preference, but if that is what they are catching...
