A Shutterbug explores the surrounding areas of Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant, most times. We do look for 'the magic'and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. What a gift! What treasures nature offers!

Great post. I so enjoy seeing your art drawn as well as in photos. Your little Muse is a doll. Annie had a bath this week too. She doesn't like it either but girl, she smells so much better. ;) I wonder if Annie would leave on stick-on "earrings". ha... too cute.
ReplyDeleteHello, Pretty captures of your snowy world. The view on the second shot is lovely. Your little miss is adorable decked out with her ear rings. Pretty sketch. Happy Valentine's Day to you. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures you show this week are WONDERFUL! I love especially the second one and I really wish I could be there at this beautiful place!

ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Great photos - as per usual! - and the scenery is beautiful. I especially like the photo for Wednesday with the light on the water.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have noticed the wild turkeys without your helpful mark. Let's hope the crocuses are still there after the thaw( well you can always hope).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful haiku and sweet Valentine image! Loving the snowy photograhs too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous Valentine! L'il Miss is so cute.
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter wonderland photo's too. I didn't realise they were turkeys... I thought they were chickens at first glance.
Have a fabulous Valentine's Day :D
The Valentine haiku brought tears to my eyes Carol. The enveloped by snow picture is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteArt Muse Pup may be tired from her trip to the beauty shop but I bet she was so proud of herself when she woke up!
Great pics as usual. I love the "enveloped" shot. We have the Oklahoma wind blowing right now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful haiku...... and snow scenes. Love the earrings - if only she could see herself!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day to you!

oh what delightful things! Love that second winter scene!! Been thinking of you as I've been seeing on the news about the "blizzard" hitting the NE coast and MA. I do hope you have fared well. Sweet valentine sketch. And Zoe looks so cute with the fresh new cut and bow:)
ReplyDeleteSnow and sea, a perfect combination. If you recognize some of my recent photos, I'm sure you'll find more you know as I finish posting about that trip. Have a wonderful week ahead!
