Through the Lens Weekend

 Through lens I see Mother Nature watching over her domain.



Another little Cape Ann Critter checking for food in the bitter cold of January for Camera Critters link.

Haiku for Haiku Heights link with prompt 'cadence' .




Haiku for Haiku Heights link with word prompt 'useless' ~ 




This little Carpe Ann MA critter looks like he is saying 'what are you doing looking at me?'  for Saturday Critters link and Weekly Top Shot Link.





Bitter Cold on Cape Ann MA and not much photographing ~ closest I wanted to get to the Sumac that the birds are thriving on this winter. For I Heart Macro link.








We love your posted comments and the occasional biscuits. xxx

We are wishing you the best in each day. ^_^

    Enjoyed the haiku and great pics - although the birdie looks a little cold, I think.

    I love seeing the robins-always a sign of Spring I like to believe although I've had a few stick around all winter this year(unusual for us). Thae sumac looks so pretty but I know what you mean about keeping a distance :)

    what on earth is a robin doing here in the midst of winter? I've never seen one in February! I consider them the harbinger of spring! the sumac brings a welcoming color in all that white. I, as well, have outdoor photos just from my door or window. brr....

    Thank goodness for the sumac! Thank you as always for the haikus as well as the pictures. I Just started back to yoga/meditation class; it is so good for me. I may use that first haiku for my meditation.

    Oh gosh, Robins! We won't see them until the spring. I love sumac bushes, they always provide much need colour in the winter.

    We have had flocks of robins pass through this winter… I think the animals are as confused by this strange winter as we are! Beautiful images and haiku Carol. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
