These are all wonderful shots. I love the vivid colors in the harbor but I also like the black and white so much.
ReplyDeletefishing vessels are very appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteTrawling for eels, intriguing! Beautiful haiku, and I always love any sort of waterfront fishing scenes and a perfect calm seascape. You may have just done the perfect blog post!!
ReplyDeletePlease don't quit though.
Ah what nice shots.. and the haiku is divine..
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of images, Carol! The first one is great I love all the colors and the last shot is another favorite. I love the scene and pretty reflection.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy day and week ahead!
Beautiful pictures: blue waters, fishing vessels in harbour and an infinite sky and even an haiku..."seekers travel for answers" (I'll keep it in mind fur sure)!! Thanks for sharing! Happy March, also!
ReplyDeleteThe water looks so calming and who doesn't love a red boat. We don't have to travel far to find answers that are already within.
ReplyDeleteThe big working boats have such interesting lines. And the eeling boat--il didn't know there was a market for eels in the US. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteDearest Carol;
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of harbor with varieties of fishing vessels. I LOVED the contrast of with color and monotone♡♡♡ I thought Japanese might be the only people who eat eel; they are delicacy for us p;)
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

ReplyDeletewisdom is in the balance?

Yes, Jules I have found that 'wisdom is in the balance' ~ having that 'knowing deep within' so that when chaos is around you can go to that place inside that gives you balance and breath is central to everything ~ ~ takes lots of daily practice like everything that one learns well. Thanks for asking ~ Happy Week to you ^_^
DeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteSuch intriguing photos-imagine dragging for eels and this is what life is like living along the Cape. Beautiful photos-each one so detailed and interesting-my favorite is the red vessel. Haiku-lovely-
Have a very pleasant evening-

Your haiku, Carol, reminds me of how much I learned living in VA...:)JP
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's ever a traveler-pilgrim who comes up blank when looking for answers within? ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like the Haiku. And all the photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely water photos. Maybe one day before too long I'll be living near the water again...
ReplyDeleteLove all the shots of boats in your harbor!
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection of photos.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the name of that one boat, 'Miss Sandy'
ReplyDeleteLovely shots from the harbor. I agree ... very similar to my picture ... but "your" boat is bigger!
ReplyDeleteI like the fishing trawlers !
ReplyDeleteLiked the photos of the fishing trawlers especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I think, the highest mountains are within us!
ReplyDeleteKindred Spirits
Most definitely ~ 'own best friend or own worst enemy' ~ all part of the 'human condition' ~ me thinks ~ thanks for your comments ~ carol and artmusedog ^_^
DeleteYou did get some great pictures! That first one is fantastic!
ReplyDeletebeautiful harbor photos- and I love the fishing trawlers! The first one with the bright scene fools me into thinking it's Spring or summer...
ReplyDeletea very thoughtful haiku today too.
Cape Ann must give you beautiful photo ops.
ReplyDeleteA great maritime collection ... love the black&white image :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable series! Love the bright red trawler!
ReplyDeleteThe trawlers are beautiful...sad that they are disappearing ...and scary!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post. It reminded me so much of my father. He loved boats and always had them displayed on the wall in his office. I can remember visiting him when I was a little girl, always gazing up at the boats in glass bottles or pictures made of string. :)
ReplyDeleteFishing vessel in black and white format is absolutely perfect.

That first b & w makes it appear that it is a warm sunny day. I like the angle the shot was framed in.
ReplyDeleteAh Carol what a wonderful post again ... those pictures are gorgeous and your haiku/senryu a gem.
ReplyDeleteStill waters running
ReplyDeleteFlight of birds pursuing trawls
Fish leap, creatures eat.
coming from B&W Wednesday -- I love seeing boats of all sizes -- this photo of the B&W fishing boats great shot and the B&W shades perfect!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Gorgeous haiku set Carol!
ReplyDeletefishing boats coming back with their catch?
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful and your haiku give much food for thought!
ReplyDeleteThose seagulls love to follow the boats. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh my...I do love those fishing boats. Visiting your space here is so "new england" and I just love it!! I also loved the line about the crocuses safe under the snow. Lovely image created with your words!
ReplyDeleteAm finding photographers are natural philosophers....always love how you mesh your shots with your thoughts♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/rad-reflectors/
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy when a scene you would normally expect to highlight the color (for example - water) is presented in black/white. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteYou have a real eye for photography love your pics
ReplyDeleteThe crocuses aren't about to come out from under their snow cover until they know it's safe!
ReplyDeleteThorn by Thorn
hardy crocuses popping up despite the snow and cold ~ need to take another photo ~ thanks for visiting ~ Happy Weekend to you xxx
DeleteBeautiful photos, Carol! Happy weekend..
ReplyDeleteThe seagulls must like something that's on that boat!! Great pics -- especially that first one!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the crocuses will be popping up soon.
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me miss New England....beautiful
ReplyDeleteLove the shot for skywatch Friday. I do hope the crocuses are popping up soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful serie of photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos Carole, always love to see the fishing boats and enjoyed reading your haikus.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots. I like that reflection.
ReplyDeletewow! I didn't even notice the gulls at first! The trawlers look so nice - it would be fun to go out on one, if I didn't have to work! {:-D
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful trawler!
ReplyDeleteHarbours are a great place to look for pictures!
ReplyDeleteSlow reply caused by a trip to Arizona and jet lag!

Came from SWF, Carol. Your haikus and photos are lovely to read and see.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.womenandperspectives.com/2014/03/sky-watch-sky-above-ciwidey-white-crater.html
Agree highest mountains are those within each of us at some point (or points) in our lives.
ReplyDeleteSo thought-provoking.
Hi,Carol. Nice captures. I like your first photo very much. I feel your warm heart from your Haiku," crocuses safe under snow". Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots fotos, greeting from Belgium
ReplyDeleteClassic set of images. I think I'd like to spend time around the waterfront.
ReplyDeleteThere is something special about a harbour, isn't there?!
ReplyDelete(ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
A fantastic week of snapping- I love the boats in the harbor...that's one of the items on my bucket list- to visit the coast,,,sigh...one day.
ReplyDeleteSoon your wintry sky will turn "springy"!
ReplyDeleteThreads of Thin Rain
When I am out running errands before a rain storm, I am so puzzled at the hundreds of sea gulls who sit in Target's parking lot, waiting for the rain. Wonderful words and photos, Carol!!
ReplyDeleteI love your harbor shots, makes me long for summer. Only 105 days away!
ReplyDeleteOoh, the first shot has to be my favourite ...So VIBRANT :-)
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone has a different pic that stands out to them.
I love your photos of the ships, I miss living near the ocean.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Your photos are amazing!!
