ReplyDeleteA nice post Carol, what a wonderful haiku you have shared here. All is well with my parents. Thank you for asking.
ReplyDeleteStunning Sun Colors and the Sunflower is beautiful
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week full of dance and long walks along the coast, with a nip of Spring in the air, without too many sneakers in the water following the happy Art Muse dogs's tail...Phew probably should have put a full stop in earlier! :)

Lovely photos, all. That antique door stop is a treasure! :)
ReplyDeleteDeb @ Homespun & Frugal Little Bungalow
I love your camera critters image today...so, so darned cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd the gift from Viet Nam...unique and interesting.
Oh, I love that adorable door stop, Carol!
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting photos, Carol, and your dog is such a super model :)
ReplyDeleteThought for a scond that door stop was for real - Doh. AMD is for real today, she looks real happy.
ReplyDeletei like that doorstop. :) hi, artmusedog!
ReplyDeleteSuch a smile on artmuse dog. That haiku and sketch are great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Photos! I'm a yorkie lover. The yorkie is my favorite. :)
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures also have a yorkie.
love the eclectic images! I especially like the serenity of the minimal lines of your haiku sketch.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful post! Terrific haiku and painting. A cute doorstop and AMD is as sweet as ever!
ReplyDeleteIt must be cold to go home w/o a shoe this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sunflower is gorgeous, and I love your haiku/brush painting.
That door stop must be very heavy!! It is cool though, much more interesting/fun to look at than the doorstops we have today.
That fabulous face I look for it every week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love the sunflower and art muse dog is so cute. She looks very happy. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove your Asian style art! Love your little dog - such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteLovely Haiku and Asian brush painting ... have always been drawn to oriental art. This is beautiful. Also love your litte muse Yorkie ... so cute. Actually all of your pictures are amazing as always ...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Carol ...

Artmuse dog is so cute. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteWell Carol, silly or not, she looks lovely! That photo is perfect for an add!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunflower, ah Spring, please show your colours!
Wonderful creation of the haiku.. I think your photos tell more and more stories each time I visit...
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and sky watching, a fun collection of photos to share all the happenings in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI love your painting and haiku! And ArtMuse doggie is cute as ever!! Lovely scenic shots of the harbor.. Thank you for linking up with Saturday's Critters.. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow flower. Nice collection of shots for all your various hops♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/flower-shower/
ReplyDeleteA smile when you ran out of critters...LOL!!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI love this series Carol… I too am looking forward to sun and sunflower days. Your haiku is so beautiful penned with the fish swimming along the surface. Thanks for sharing the love up-close with I Heart Macro:-)
ReplyDeleteI saw a lot of light and few shadows today! Seems like every picture made me smile. The yellow daisy (?) macro was maybe my favorite because yellow flowers just always make me happy. But who wouldn't smile at that pretty doorstop -- so many memories attached. (And really I'm so glad you used it -- even though I know with Art Muse Dog you never truly run out of critters to photograph!) And the haiku was wonderful. I eat a lot of fish. Dumb fish I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreat share Carol .
ReplyDeleteOf course I love your sweet dog to pieces :)
Happy Weekend, Carol!
ReplyDeleteThe Antique Door Stop looks like a Boston Terrier, is it?
We are dreaming of warmer weather in South Dakota too! We had a high of 21* today.
Those who follow the Japanese Proverb probably have a lot of fun.
I love your antique door stop and your real dog!
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable puppy!! The sunflower is beautiful, we are dreaming here at the jersey shore as well!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Carol; Oh I loved all of your images♪ My husband who sometimes fish said he liked your choice of haiku today. I LOVED the two gifted items and the last pic is amazing♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteHave a WONDERFUL Sunday!
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Miyako ~ I am honored that you love my images and that your husband liked the haiku as I did not grow up learning the brush strokes that other cultures learn from childhood and the same for the haiku ~ thanks for your very supportive comments ~ xxx
