It's been awhile since I visited Cape Ann. After seeing your photos I'm going to make it a point to visit there soon.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you do view life in that way! What kind of flowers are they? (the wilting and fresh bloom) top shot is fabulous with such texture! the last orchid- stunning!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photography and haiku.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Caroll!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful in words and pictures.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lover of reflections - so your black and white made me happy! I really like that Japanese thought/quote/word (don't know which it is!) that there is beauty in both the blooming and wilting flowers. I think that's one of the things that I like most about this time of year - it's such a wonderful combination of the natural world's many stages.... And, when we were in Maine a couple of weeks ago I went out on a boat with our host as he pulled in his lobster pots - a whole new experience for me!!
ReplyDeleteYour world is so lovely! Every picture and every word so full of joy. The reflections in the stone look like a precious Oriental screen print.
ReplyDeleteLove the water pictures, especially the lobster boats!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos and wonderful haiku. (I'm Japanese but I've never been very good at writing haiku, either in Japanese or English!) Cape Ann looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteLovely lyrical haiku and beautiful photos. I especially love the reflections you captured.
ReplyDeleteBlessings & Aloha!
And thank you so very, very much for stopping by and for your kind comments!
What gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! As always I love your poem.
ReplyDeleteBoth harbor and haiku are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank for your your kind words of condolence --they were greatly appreciated!
I wish I could create a Haiku . You make it look so easy
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and beautiful haiku. I love the shot of the man taking in his lobsters from the trap!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your photos and quotes.
ReplyDeleteHere is one that I don't know where it came from
... Everyone has butterfiles in the stomach, the trick is getting them to fly in formation.
Thanks for that delightful quote ~ carol, xo
DeleteI always love the glimpse of your coastal world. The rock and reflection is perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, as always!
ReplyDeleteOrchids are my favourite flower - I will nearly always have them in the house, it keeps me connected to Asia, but today I think my favourite is the wabi - sabi because of the sentiments of the blooming and the wilting - Beautiful. Is that a hibiscus flower?
ReplyDeleteWrenx
I don't know what the name of the flower is ~ anyone?
DeleteThe image of the lobsterman and today's haiku will stay with me - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice series, and I learned a new term today - Wabi-Sabi - so thank you for that! I love seeing all this water and particularly like the granite rock with water reflection.
