ReplyDeleteThat sure is a look of trepidation - but oh what a wonderfully Hitchcockian shot! As lovely as they are, it puts the others in the shade... YAM xx
That quote from D. Lange is wonderful -- says so well what I have tried to explain to myself and others. I love your post as always. Poor art muse puppy, you are scaring her with that new photo gadget (I bet she's used to it by now tho).
ReplyDeleteWere you tempted to buy that hat?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words and photography.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photos.
ReplyDeleteI believe in listening too.. but it's the hardest thing.. sometimes my own voice is just screaming.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, pretty shot of the schooner.. and I love the moon shot. Being a dog lover, Art Muse doggie is my favorite..Great post and photos. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteHI Carol! T;) he ceremony you saw on my blog post was my son and daughter-in-law's 10 th wedding anniversary vow renewal --not their wedding! The two boys are theirs and our grandsons :)
ReplyDeleteI love this pretty red hat--for many years I had a decorated straw hat hanging on my door as a wreath--this would make a good one! Artmuse dog does look a little worried!
listening, yes
ReplyDeletebut seeing, too
i just realized your top picture is pi in the sky.
cheers!

Each of your photos tells a story! Your doggie is a little sweetheart! The schooner is fantastic! I love sailingboats.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Delightful interlude from start to finish, Carol!

Beautiful, beautiful shots, Carol! I love the reflection of the moon in the water! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeleteSummer's definitely winding down - 45 degrees at my house this morning tells me that. Nice post - give Muse Dog a pat from me!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images. I like that hat.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the schooner. Art Muse Dog doesn't look too happy, but maybe she'll get used to it.
ReplyDeleteThe schooner is lovely. I'd happily sail away for a day or two on that one. Poor old AMD, she likes familiar things?
ReplyDeleteAh, listen, yes! Beautiful pics
ReplyDeleteSuch a delight to see great pics. And plenty of good ones come by you! Thanks for sharing Carol!

Listening is so hard to do sometimes!
ReplyDeleteFull of Grace and Truth
Your poem rings a bell for “truth”. So often we hear but do not listen to ourselves or others.
ReplyDeleteoh what really lovely photos. Yes, sadly summer is winding down but I am still enjoying every bit that's left. I would totally wear that red hat:)
ReplyDeleteExpressive photos! The moon has a glorious backdrop and Muse Dog's questions are captured wonderfully...wish I could hold on to summer's coattails and go where it does.
ReplyDeleteLove the Schooner shot, quote and household hint! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHugs to ArtMuse dog (they don't like changes do they?!)
Lovely set of photos. I am sad that summer is winding down!
ReplyDeleteOh, the Schooner looks SO gorgeous, my husband said that he would love to get into p;) And your Haiku is always inspiring to me♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteSending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
What a cute little dog!
ReplyDeletelove the expression on Muse Dog's face!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I can tell, what a cutie, and the black and white makes it even better. Great photos, all of them.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait of your dog! I really like that schooner...it's gorgeous! Thanks so much for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI love "practice listening." All your images show that you do that. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePoor Muse Dog. He needs a biscuit! Your photos are so lovely. I feel as though I am there. I'll have to try adding sweet potato to cheese filling for lasagna. I usually use spinach. Now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white photo of your dog!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteIncredible photography and thoughtful words! Loved them all! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute shot of your sweet little dog!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love the super moon and of course the doggie!!
ReplyDeletethe moon has been incredible lately. we have a skylight in our bathroom and the moon glowed through for hours - it was magical!
ReplyDeleteLoved the pic of the moon and the flowers on the red hat! And yes, I agree completely about listening to your psyche to reach your higher self!
ReplyDeletethesilverkickdiaries.com
Poor ArtMuse Dog, she does look a tad suspicious! Beautiful moon shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips too -- there's an easy lasagna recipe on AlphabeThursday that's just waiting for that spinach!!
Summer definitely must be winding down near you. We are still fairly hot in the south, but that glorious cool down will be very welcomed when it comes. Lovely end of summer captures shared here today.
ReplyDeleteGlorious way to end a day!! And I love the moon!! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Have a lovely weekend!!
ReplyDeleteStunning sunset, love the moon and puppy too!
ReplyDeleteLovely series of shots Carol, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletethe colors in your skywatch photo is superb.
ReplyDeleteAll your photos are outstanding but my favorite is Art Muse Dog's reaction in black and white, so darling!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and peaceful shots.
ReplyDeletegreat looking moon! I remember lots of things were going wrong, and people were blaming it on a full moon. Don't know if I truly believe in that... {:-D
ReplyDeleteNice quotes. Thanks for sharing them with such beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat post with wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Enjoyed my visit...each photo was special♪ Thanks for dropping by my entry!

ReplyDeletep.s. That B+W shot of Muse Dog is gorgeous!
ReplyDeletemay we all savor the fleeting songs and colours of summer. may that savoring fill our hearts with trust that each present moment is exactly where we should be.
ReplyDeleteLooking at all your beautiful photos makes me want to come visit Cape Ann! The water, sky and air, yes I can feel it! looks positively healing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sunset
ReplyDeleteYes, summer is ending. A fine photo of the town. (And a perfectly lovely photo of your irresistible dog!)
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, stopping back to say thank you for sharing your critters and post with Saturday's Critters. Have a happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteWingless Butterfly

ReplyDeleteLove that shot of the moon...and Muse Dog too! You're not the only person talking about the end of summer. How I wish! For us it's just in full swing and will last until mid to late October.
ReplyDeletehave a nice weekend, luv that red hat
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Fabulous photos! And haikus! Love the schooner!!
ReplyDeletemagnifique,merci du partage ;o)
ReplyDeleteGoing out on the water in such a big fancy schooner must be quite an experience. I liked your photos and haikus, especially the deep colors of the moonlit sky.
ReplyDeleteDid art muse dog go on the schooner too? Looked like a really peaceful sail. Love the sparrow on the bench. Sweet little things like that are everywhere if we just look for them.
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful series of shots! I do like the skywatch and reflection shots.
ReplyDeleteStunningly beautiful images!
ReplyDeletehttp://amitaag.blogspot.in/2014/05/quench.html
Love these captures, and the haiku, too! I'm hosting a "Poetry Slam," of sorts, each Monday. Hope you'll be able to come by!!
ReplyDeleteYour haiku are exquisite this week.. love the truth one.. exactly my thoughts.. but so hard to live by.
ReplyDeleteBalance is something I have had much trouble finding in this life. I am still working towards it.
ReplyDeletehttp://poetryofthenetherworld.blogspot.com/2014/08/peace-in-solitude.html
You have some really good photos here, cool work.
ReplyDeleteA treat ... Carol what a nice and beautiful post ... it's always fun to visit your blog ... I am so glad to see your wonderful haiku caught in such a nice post ...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Carol...... they are all beautiful..... full moon is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYour little dog is quite right to be aware of changes, but like the rest of us will no doubt soon get used to them!
Your words are always spot on.....thank you....
Enjoy your week,
Ruby
I especially like the moon shot.
ReplyDeleteShine on, shine on August moon!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous pictures!
