Through the Lens I see 'brotherly, sisterly love. ~ carol 

Cape Ann MA has not seen a lot of these colorful skies ~ mostly greys ~ Grateful for this look. For Sky Watch Friday's link.



Universal 'love' for Carpe Diem Haiku,
Haiku My Heart and Haiku Friday links.



Birds are loving this sumac right out side our window with a tad of snow today. Tis Winter on Cape Ann MA ~ long 6 weeks to Spring me thinks. You? For Rural Thursday Blog Hop link.




'J' ~ Just me again -She will just not stop pointing that black object at me ~ Hope you like this, ^_^ for Alphabe Thursday link.
The white building in the background with the tower is the old Birdseye Building where fish sticks and other fish products were produced. If you ever saw an ad with the Fisherman of Gloucester this was the company on Cape Ann MA that produced the fish sticks and more. It is currently is process to become a hotel some day.

    oh i really like your image of the sumac. We have it growing in the brushy path that leads to the beach across the street and I am forever trying to capture it in a photograph. I also love your little companion in the covers...looks quite welcoming on this cold snowy morning.

    wow - the building becoming a hotel! That's going to be a lot of changing on the inside. My book club just met and talked about The Sea Captain's Wife; we were thinking of all the jobs in the northeast, on the coast, having to do with shipping and fishing. Guess it's a dying trade... {:-Deb
