Great photos - I always especially like the ones of the harbor and the boats - and of course your little dog is very cute!
ReplyDeleteI recently read an article about how delicious the clams are from Cape Ann, and I immediately thought of you, Carol! Your hometown is so beautiful! Love your haiku and tips!
ReplyDeleteI do love the water and your water shots!! I miss that about Seattle since I moved back to Portland -- love Oregon, too, but I'm a long way from the coast!! Thanks for sharing, Carol!! Give your little four-legged friend a hug for me and enjoy your week!!
ReplyDeleteCarol, I am going to try the dryer sheet in my pocket when I go in the woods!!! We just finished our watermelon!!!.:)JP
ReplyDeleteThere is always so much happening on and off the water.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an idyllic summer there on the water. I believe the pup could use some of the cold lemonade!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the lobster boats! Oh and the lemonade stand is such a great sight to see.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty place - I love playing tourist in my own town.
ReplyDeleteOh, seeing your posts, I always wish I lived close to the harbor :-) Beautiful images, Carol. Love the summer Haiku, too. Yes, BIG Hug to your sweet baby♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteSending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Interesting place. Enjoyed the boat shots but gotta say the lemonade shot with the puppy tongue gave me a smile!
ReplyDeleteVery evocative summer shots and I love the haiku.
ReplyDeleteSerene and inviting waters...adorable artmusedog! Watermelon haiku makes me want a dish of chilled melon! Your tip for repelling mosquitoes is very welcome, especially here in Texas! Enjoyable post!
ReplyDeleteSummer living is best! Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteA nice place to live where those boats go out and bring back lots of seafood for all that seafood Carol.
ReplyDeleteAMD says "Hey, you forgot the N momma"
I love the boats and dorys and the haiku especially "...colorful thirst quencher..."
ReplyDeleteThe very best of days to you to. I always enjoy your posts
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, love the pops of red. Puppy is adorable as always. I
ReplyDeleteColorful and sticky! Halfmoon or quarter slices? I know folks who like to cut off pieces with a knife using the knife as a fork. EEK! Be careful!
ReplyDeletemmmm...I love your views of the harbor and all the boats. Great summertime haiku! Love the lemonade stand photo with ArtMuse dog-he looks like he's desperately trying to reach the water bottle:)
ReplyDeleteNice! I would love to visit your part of the country.
ReplyDeleteI find watermelons to be thirst quenching too!
ReplyDeleteThe Melons Will Flee

ReplyDeleteThe Haiku made me long for watermelon.... then AMD missing out on lemonade? Thirsty here!!!! YAM xx
I love the photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the haiku! Very summery post with wonderful images!
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed looking at boats, and sweet little dogs :) Great shots Carol!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth waters when I look at those lobster boats. Hardly ever get to eat Lobster anymore since it has become very expensive. But love your pictures. Sorry Artmuse, no lemonaid (but in truth you probably wouldn't like it). I have used the dryer sheet in my pocket and it works. Great fror when I walk Izzi at night ... she likes to stir up the mosquitos in the bushes and they all come after me. But, not any more:) Be well, Carol ...
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
Great shots! That little yellow row boat is too cute.
ReplyDeleteI love the boats and the water. Much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, so good to be back here! Grad school kept me away, then a new job and with one grad course left, I DO remain busy. However, I will never stop blogging...I just might be a little slow.
ReplyDeleteAnd every time I come here, I see such wonderful inspiration and creativity and it just makes my heart soar! I hope you've been well. Sending hugs. xo
A beautiful set of images. Love the Miss Carla boat. :)
ReplyDeleteHurrah that they sold out. I'm sure it made the lemonade seller very happy. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree about the watermelon. The sweetness is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the dog would really like lemonade.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post ... you always stay to surprise me ... I wonder how you do that ... what a wonderful haiku (haiga) you have shared with us Carol.
ReplyDeleteLove how our New England coast is such a working coast - so much going on! The fishermen and lobster-men seem to be always working hard! Great bunch of shots!
ReplyDeletegreat captures as always...
ReplyDeleteShame they sold out "refreshig lemonade" haha. I do love your images...always.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Melody and Olivia
Great photos, Carol, especially the lobster boats! YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry the lemonade was sold out. What a bummer! Is there no JUSTICE??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series. Such a shame they were out of lemonade. Love all the boats.
ReplyDeletePoor guy needs his lemonade! Love the boats and I would really love some lobster!
ReplyDeleteBummer the lemonade was sold out!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have a large glass of lemonade, please!

ReplyDeleteBEautiful summer photos and poetry Carol.
ReplyDeleteIt must be divine when a soul is warmed.
ReplyDeleteIf I was asked to choose which image I liked the best, mmmm, I would have to say the harbor in the b/w format. I giggled at the lemonade stand sign. Nice job! Have a great week-end.

50 cents for lemonade! a bargain!
ReplyDeleteThe sky looks a bit gloomy but the colors on the boats brighten the scene.
resting here in your beauty is a comfort, thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat post as usual. Loving the watermelon haiku.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming east, heading for NY and the Hudson River. ArtMuseDog looks hot, but I thought the highs were only in the 80s? He's lucky he's not in Oklahoma. I'm leaving 100+ weather! {:-D
