We are wishing you a gentle and creative week. xox
Your posted comments are a treasure to us. - Thanks,
Wonderful January scenes of Cape Ann. We are having much the same-not snow but many dark, rainy days...
ReplyDeleteI love how YOUR angels do bring light and joy. Beautiful haiku. And really, I wish I could just jump in the screen and squeeze Ms Zoe-what a darling. Have a wonderful week Carol!
Looks like the cutie patootie just got back from the groomer.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Your skies are incredible this week Carol - very beautiful! The angels look gently on as your fur babe peacefully sleeps - does she dream of angels?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy and peaceful week!

Seascapes are always beautiful and the varied skies you show make it all even better. Have a good week and thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI saw the little bird! What an interesting nest she built! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always - I don't miss that northeast grey. Your little dog didn't see you sneaking up with the camera - what a cute shot. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI like how shadow and light play in the room projecting interesting shapes through the chairs and, of course, your sleepy muse and gentle angels project an aura of peace.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of images.
ReplyDeleteSky is always so beautiful over Cape Ann Ma! And I love the gorgeous shadow photo. I did have to see twice to find the bird in Saturday photo :-) Nice camouflage, birdie!
ReplyDeleteLove those big sky photos even though they are cloudy. We have nothing but cloudy skies here too. So blah...It is fun seeing all of your creative work. It lifts my spirits. Have a wonderful creative week.
ReplyDeleteYour week looks just perfect to me, says she in the midst of summer *grin* but I do love that kinda weather, it's the reason we're moving to the place we're moving to... Have a happy week
ReplyDeleteI love your paintings and sketches of Angels...they're gorgeous! And, that cute little "Pooch" is always a favorite :)

ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Snoozing on the job - how sweet!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
love the skies :)
ReplyDeleteIt took me quite awhile to see the bird's beak to identify it. I couldn't decide whether its dark grey body was a rock at first. Then I wondered if it was a seal. lol.
ReplyDeleteYour skies are more interesting than here in Illinois. It is one gray day after another gray day. Sweet photo of your assistant.
ReplyDeleteLovely skies this week & of course your sweet little Zoe always makes me smile! Precious!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol. Grey days, rain on the lens, let sleeping dogs lie. if only I could think of those pictures. Nice work. Have fun despite the rain.

Hi Carol, Very nice to find your blog thanks to your kind comment on mine. I must compliment you on the way you have your blog organized. What a great way to share your photography and art and Haiku! I see that we are in similar locations, living near the sea. I will be back often to see more of Cape Ann. Shutterbug Explores #68 … I love the photos and your Angel of Peace … so sweet! Thanks for sharing and thanks again for stopping by John’s Island. Hope to see you again often! (PS Looking at Cape Ann on the map made me smile … we are close to being at opposite ends of Interstate 90 about 3,020 miles … Seattle to Boston.)
ReplyDeleteSuch various skies you have shown us! They are beautiful and those lovely sketches make me smile! Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteLovely watercolor art of the angel!
ReplyDeleteAll kinds of everything on the weather front it seems!
ReplyDeleteSorry about slow reply - I have been in New Zealand and blogging has taken a bit of a back seat.
