Seen at Craft Fair on Cape Ann MA ~ for Rurality Blog Hop



Cape Ann MA is really Gloucester which is an island connected by two bridges. It has several beautiful sandy beaches and then beaches with the rocky coast and more sea character where as a child I would search for crabs to put in a pail with salt weather. When the day at the beach was over, the crabs would go back into their home in the ocean. Quite a wonderful place to play as child or as an adult. Now, I like to play with my camera and artmuse
dog at these rocky beaches.

    Carol, Cape Ann looks like a wonderful place to play. A place for the children, adults and the cute puppy dogs like Art Muse. The Red Sail and the moon shots are my favorites. Have a great evening.

    Lovely haiku and picture.

    Put me in mind of this poem set in Wales, of course:)

    Capt Llewellyn's Poem, from "How Green was my Valley"

    Courage come to me from the height of the mountain, and with it came the
    dignity of manhood and knowledge of the tree of Life, for now I was a
    branch, running with the vital blood, waiting in the darkness of the
    Garden for some unknown Eve to tempt me with the apple of her beauty, that
    we might know our nakedness, and bring forth sons and daughters to magnify
    the Lord our God.

    Another scenic series, and I love that big dog seen at the craft fair! My own ignorance, I didn't realize Cape Ann was Gloucester. I love Gloucester and Rockport, but haven't been there since the mid 70s. A beautiful area!

    Thanks for your visit and comment on my RBG #28 post.

    Truly walking outside in nature's gems is more brilliant than visiting any jewelry store.
