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

Wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteI love that stormy sky, and of course your furry friend. Have a wonderful week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat Tuesday sky looks scary. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe rain clouds are impressive. How much rain did you get?
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Bless your 4 footed friends, and your 2 good eyes, Carol! <3 I enjoy your soulful photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of links in one post. Saves time I suppose. And interesting to find out about all the various memes.
ReplyDeleteLove the dark denim blues in your seascape.

I love all the photos of the changeable skies at the seashore, Carol! Artmuse dog looks so handsome with a new fur cut!
ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like some storm brewing in the first shot!
ReplyDeleteThat sky looks threatening. I am always fascinated by those big front clouds passing by. Your dear little muse looks like she is ready for Easter now. Sweet. Your haiku is so true.
ReplyDeleteThat first sky is great - really like it.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
beautiful photos as always. Love the haiku, your sweet Artmuse pup and that marvelous sketch-a perfect looking scene in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, your sky captures are lovely. The first sky shot is very dramatic. Your furbaby looks cute after her grooming. I love the haiku and the sketch! Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. That first sky looks so threatening. I do hope Artmusedog didn't get wet.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour quote at the start is very thought provoking. Most of us only look for harvest each day without sowing the seeds. We want results without effort. We want gain without pain. If there are no results at the end of the day we are disappointed and we conclude that it was a bad day.On the other hand if we put in continuous efforts with a purpose in mind we are bound the reap the benefits.
Your photos are fantastic and each photo tells a story of Cape Ann.
Your haiku is very interesting. In a few words you have described the transformation that is taking place all around you.
Best wishes
Great photos and I like them all. Beautiful sky and cute critters. I like the page from your daily Artist Journal.

Oh what a beautiful haiku and how sweet your drawing is! Wonderful photos too!
ReplyDeleteI love the hope that your words in this week's haiku illustrate. By your photographs, it seems like the weather is finally getting better for you. May you and Muse Dog have a blessed week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the little sketch … to meditate on the beach with one’s muse is a lovely dream.
ReplyDeleteI love that blanket of sky and the place where it meets with the water.
ReplyDeleteLovely first shot....I never tire of looking at sky and sea...the colours and shapes change so quickly. Little one looks really cute with her colourful neck adornment. And your Haiku is spot on as ever Carol - thank you!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy week,
Ruby
Wonderful view... nice word for this weeks letter too
ReplyDeleteHave a nice ABC-Wedneday-day / – week

Ååå, så mange nydelige bilder !!
ReplyDeleteTakk for besøket hos meg :)
I'm always surprised at how many great choices there are for a letter after I've been scratching my head to come up with one. I like your choice of Jetty for J!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful sky shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all those beautiful photos! The sea is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteWil, ABCW Team.
Super skies. Your companion looks beautiful coiffured and ready to wow with her cute bow. Intriguing journal page.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful assortment of photos - great shots one and all!
ReplyDeletea natural jetty!

My favourite is the shot for Saturday
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! Lovely shots from your beautiful part of the world this week! You have it all and so much more! I enjoyed your haiku also!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!
Some very moody sky shots, especially the first one. A nice looking iron fence, a cute dog, wonderful birds and pretty poetry. Always a pleasure to stop in.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots captured; amazing skies in various colors of blue...true excerpts "transition coming"...
ReplyDeleteAnd the little friend is so cute with the neck flower decoration. have a gorgeous day and a sunny weekend!
Your puppy cleans up very nicely! I would not want to be our on a boat under those ominous skies in the first photo. Love the fence scene and the rocks, and the artsy map, presumably of your inlet.
ReplyDeletebeautiful skies and water views. like the look towards the sun thru the fencing. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I like Sunday's "beach rocks" shot.
ReplyDeleteHello ArtMuseDog, your haircut looks very sharp!
ReplyDelete~
I see beautiful pictures and on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI just do not understand quite what you meant by linking.
Greetings, Helma
All beautiful pictures ! But the last one out of the sketch book is so cute !
ReplyDeleteDelightful post! You haiku lifts the spirits and knowing Spring is just 3 days away sure does help! Have a grand weekend!
ReplyDeleteso happy spring is embracing you in her awakening! welcome to a beautiful weekend. xo
ReplyDeleteAlways look forward to seeing your blog. Storm is a coming. Sky is a blanket of clouds. Very nice images.
ReplyDeleteJM, IL
Really enjoyed this post. All of it! :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that page from your journal! Your haiku captures the changes, the transitions, in those amazing skies... Please tell your little muse that she looks adorable and that my Leo is smitten with her! I can imagine the two of them scampering about while Rusty imagines how he too can capture her heart... have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow... What a cloud cover! Stunning photos!!
ReplyDeleteLots of topics to choose from. I keep a journal when I'm home at my float cabin home on Powell Lake. I've been trying to add pencil and ink sketches to my recollections, but I'm not much of an artist. Journaling has helped my writing, maybe it will help my drawing. - Margy
ReplyDeleteSometimes transitions are annoying. Sometimes they are frightening. And sometimes they are just right. I guess we take what comes, and do the best we can!
ReplyDeleteTree, flowers budding.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms mushrooming.
Beautiful quote! Lovely images, sketch, and haiku, as always. :)
ReplyDeleteHello carol, I wanted to stop back and say thank you for linking up your post. I alway enjoy seeing your sweet dog, the gulls are a pretty sight too. Great photos. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour Haiku perfectly sums up this transition season and your lovely pictures of it. (I especially enjoy seeing that because we really don't have early spring here in Florida ... and I would miss seeing it all together if not for beautiful blog posts like yours).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! I love the dramatic skies and the smooth beach rocks. Your furry girl is so pretty efter her grooming. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the dramatic skies. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view from that house for Good fences! WOW! I guess that would be my dream home. Happy Spring! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeletepretty, moody skies and such a lovely quote!! i hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos are beautiful. Your cute dog is so well groomed, she looks gorgeous with her little bow!

ReplyDeleteAwesome photos and a wonderful journal page!
ReplyDeleteLovely happy sketch for SS Carol! Interesting photo of the new type of gull.
ReplyDeleteLove the stance of the little dog looking out in your last sketch. So typical of small curious dogs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of the sky. I do love your little helper. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! That first one was so dramatic.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Carol. I really like the second one and how peaceful it looks. Also a fun sketch!! :)

Sigh.
