The 11-year-old is quite cute. How nice she has a beautiful voice too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selection -- every picture is wonderful. Surprisingly (to me) the Jazz player just might be my favorite this time. (Surprising because I am always amazed at how wonderful black and white pictures can be!)

Good morning, Carol. Happy first day of Autumn. Your pictures are a great celebration of the dawn of Fall, my favorite season.

ReplyDeleteYour Boston Public Garden picture is pretty, Carol. Did you let Art Muse go there? Dogs like gardens.
ReplyDeleteWe lived in Manchester, NH for three years and came down to Boston several times each year. I loved Commonwealth Blvd back then, the first Radio Shack store was there (I am a Ham Radio person).
..
Acorns and apples falling at the same time -- a great moment! :)

ReplyDeleteI favor the jazz player.

ReplyDeleteI love the gifts of nature, but I prefer apples to acorns!
ReplyDeletefruitless search for apples
Oh, those weeping willows -- beauties! The musician reminds me of New Orleans.... street musicians and artists abound!
ReplyDeleteApples among the acorns.. such a nice thought.. I see the squirrel somewhere..
ReplyDeleteGreat collection.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I love your pretty sky shots! Lovely photos and post.. Happy Skywatching!

I like your black and white Jazz Player. Nice crisp contrast. (Your first photo has published in colour.)
ReplyDeleteputtin' on the Ritz, huh? Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteTouching aspects in all pictures, lots of sensitivity through the lens of your camera like always and so glad that I can see Cape Ann MA from so close... My fave (I have to say it) is the one with the sparkles of light captured for Haiku My Heart!! and such wisdom in the quote... Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos, all beautiful shots and ArtMuse dog is incredibly cute:)
ReplyDeleteDogs too would like to have a walk.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is always, not once or twice.
I'm with AMD. It's great to be outdoors- in the park, along the shore, enjoying a walk. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteyou take the most amazing photos,xx
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos, especially ArtMuse dog! Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou caught that jazz player so you could hear him :-)
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, stopping back to say thank you for linking up. I love your cute Art Muse! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, I love the black and white's.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the "I want to go for a walk instead of pose all the time!"....so adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh, your puppy is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving that first shot...wow!
Such a beautiful moon shot! Lovely B&W's too! That cutie pup makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteHa Ha love Art Muse dog's comment, I have the same reaction from the crazy poodle these days!! Mind you he is pretty good at blog posing for a treat!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

So wonderful series of photos! I can´t decide for a favorite!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
ReplyDeleteYour haikus are beautiful and peaceful - and I love the way you capture the world around you!
a beautiful set of images, and quotes!!
ReplyDeleteVery creative Carol, cheers.
ReplyDeleteYou take wonderful photos. Especially your puppy! :-) (Even if I am a cat person!)
ReplyDeleteOur Molly the Cat feels the same way about the camera following her about when she'd rather have me follow her down the street without the camera. LOL! My favorite this week is your first B&W. I like how you caught the trees with and without leaves next to each other.
ReplyDeleteI love the falling words on the apple. Delightful!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! I wonder how dogs interrupt our obsession with cameras.
ReplyDeleteI love the notion of praying through haiku. You really do that.
ReplyDelete=)
Wonderful images! I especially like the black and white shots!
ReplyDeleteThese are all exceptional, but the best photo is little art muse dog. :)
ReplyDeleteThe dog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteSo much inspiration here dear Carol:-)
ReplyDeleteCarol -- this is a wonderful edition!!
