ReplyDeleteOh your art sketches are just heart's ease... as is your 'critter' and the water views...sigh... Blessings for the week to you! YAM xx
Your haiku makes me want to give you a big hug. (Sending love and hugs virtually at least). The steam-punk-like horses and rooster are so different and interesting. But the real life Muse Dog and the beautiful ocean are as always my very favorites.
ReplyDeleteThe horse sculpture made of horse shoes has a certain irony!
ReplyDeleteHello, Carol! I love the views of the water and ships and sweet pup! Your sketches of the flower and deer are wonderful. The poem is pretty but with a sad ending. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sunset shot in your banner. Your outdoor photos make me want to go for a stroll.
ReplyDeleteYou are wise, Carol for many reasons...Spring is coming slowly this year (as it is freezing today!!) and "grieving pain hurts" however, the critters you found are interesting too. Your favorite is another "wise" choice!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYou have been so creative this week Carol. Love the sketches, photos, and I hope you aren't grieving. Do take care and know that others care for you.
ReplyDeleteAnother great selection for this week's meme.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
awe my sweet Zoe comes first-do give her a treat and an extra hug for me:) How nice to see the boats, ships and scenery reflecting the spring to summer season! Love your delicate and beautiful journal pages and the haikus are always so meaningful. Happy week to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful time of year - lovely photos. We may see a little snow again this week, and I'm ready for summer. Have a wonderful week!

I love your photos this week Carol, especially Artmusedog staring into the camera. How true is your opening quote. Animals are no diferent to humans and it is possible to love both with a passion.
ReplyDeleteI need to take a trip on that cruise ship. I'm getting the itch to go someplace...any place!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy looking through your week. This week you have some lovely photos and I'm wishing you a spectacular week so you can share some more with us!
