A SHUTTERBUG EXPLORES 10

A Shutterbug is exploring Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant as always. We do look for 'the magic' and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. 
What a gift. What treasures nature offers to each of us.


We start our 'blogland' week on late Monday afternoon for Tuesday and then add a post each day. Hope you will make a return visit and share with us.




'Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart
it could hold a rather large amount of gratitude.'

This little darling always Warms My Heart ~ She is a treasure. She can also be a
little 'scamp' as well ~ but can't we all.

There is something about this lone 'wintry looking tree' on Cape Ann MA
 that warms my heart.Nature is filled with such variety of beauty,
 all 'in the eye of the beholder', 
of course.

    Does the fur person enjoy the snow? Just wondering. My dog would be confused. :) I like the bright sky trying to break through the cloud cover. I bet you like to see the bright sky this time of year. I grew up in NJ and remember the gray winter sky.

    Very nice with the pictures, Carol. Of Art is always top dog on your blog. She is the kind of dog every person would like to own. Note, I'm picking on your Heart Warmers tonight, finally I loaded up my Houston Thanksgiving Parade pictures.
    So, 'the tree.' I like the bird's nest there, exposed after the leaves have left. I hope the birds are okay.

    Hello Carol! Love your posts, as always. And your haiku captures the mists perfectly. Your little scamp is such a darling, I'm always curious where I'm going to see her in your photos. I too love that lone tree! I wish I could figure out what is in the branches? A kite? Thank you Carol and have a great weekend!

    Artmuse Dog has to be one of the cutest ever. I just love looking at pictures of him. I know he is the love of your life. All of your other shots were beautiful as always, and I like how you set them up all in one post to fit into the memes. My way of doing it leaves a lot to be desired. I need to try following your format. genie

    Fabulous photos. Gratitude is a panacea for all troubles, problems and sorrows. We are blessed with so many things in life which millions of other people don't have.

    The fog can prevent the sunlight only for a little while. Sooner or later the sun will come out of the fog in all its blazing glory.

    Best wishes.
