So begins another week on Cape Ann MA
We have had very humid, hot weather which was not conducive to photographing or much of anything but keeping cool ~ then we went to
cool temperatures and jackets. Hope you enjoy
the creative array of photos, creations and haiku.

ReplyDeleteAs ever, I arrive to wander on your side for a few moments and leave refreshed! Blessed week to you. YAM xx
I would like to stay in that hotel.
ReplyDeleteSo soothing a visit here. Cape Ann is yet another addition to my (always wishful and dreaming) bucket list! Zoe looks darling with the haircut although I'm sure she still needs her sweater at times with this fickle weather. Very thought provoking haiku. Love your sweet and soft watercolor pieces too. Have a lovely week Carol!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely looking like spring in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots.

Carol, I just love my infrequent visits to your blog, the gentle boats, Art muse dog on paper and in reality and at the mo, we are clearly sharing the same humid weather even though we are continents apart!
ReplyDeleteWith love from a fellow sweaty betty!

You got a great shot of your little Muse after her trim. I understand about a dog not wanting her picture made. Annie is the same way. That looks like one fancy hotel. Love seeing the water pictures. Sun enhances all spaces even if it makes it difficult to get good pictures. Your haiku sounds so lonesome. Hugs... Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteCape Ann looks a beautifull place, and I love your Yorkie, we have two Westies.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Gordon.
Your highness glows with a golden aura and and looks rightly royal in your lovely watercolor.
ReplyDeleteNice series of images.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful haiku,I think it also fits with your ethereal angel! And of course your special fur angel looks looks so cute with her new hairdo.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week,
Ruby
Such a beautiful place. You definitely had a great time there.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Dearest Carol,
ReplyDeleteyou live in such a wonderful world, with your fur baby always side by side with you, you're truly fortunate to have your Muse's love !
Thanking you so, so much for sharing such shots which speak without words, I'm sending my dearest love to you
XOXO Dany
A lovely series of photos!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are Sky Watch Friday and Thankful Thursday
Hope you are having a great week!
Cape Ann is such a pretty place, Carol. You are indeed fortunate. Your Art Muse does not look camera shy--he always has a sweet twinkle in his eyes!
ReplyDeleteYour collection is wonderful and your furry friend is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteZoe looks gorgeous, what a great job they did, such a soft look. You make me want a permanent pet. I love the long shot of the hotel, is it as fun as it looks? I bet people here would love a little of that weather you're suffering through, not me though, I'll take cool and gloomy over hot and muggy any day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful plant, what does is for your health?
ReplyDeleteHave a nice ABC-day / week
Melody (team ABC-W)
Preview Round 21 starting july 12th :
a dog can never have too many toys :D
ReplyDeletesky has 3 huge plastic boxes of toys lol
Today your Haiku really spoke to me. I often wonder that about myself. The Spring flower planting near the path is so nice -- I really miss typical spring flowers down here in the subtropics.
ReplyDeleteLove the flower circle.
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Hey pretty puppy, you've got a special 'mom', just listen to her haiku, insightful and true....
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week, Carol.
The hotel looks very lovely. How nice it would be to relax at pool overlooking Cape Ann Ma :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolor painting of Zoe!
Hello Carol and Ms Zoe, who is looking especially pretty and cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely sky views and the new boulevard must be so nice to take a stroll along!
Best wishes to you!
Hello, the hotel does look nice. Great views of the water. Your furbaby looks adorable after her grooming, but she always is a cutie. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDelete...lovely Cape Ann sky!
ReplyDeleteZoe is so very precious! If I had a dog...I would want one like her! And she's so pretty after grooming! Love the good fences today too! Hugs!

ReplyDeletelove your fence picture and zoe, what a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteZoe is so cute! I love all of your photos, especially the mourning dove.

ReplyDeleteYour Skywatch photo looks very peaceful and silent. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove all pictures of your highness and the painting is also very nice !!

ReplyDeleteLovely photos and paintings!

Hello dear Carol, does your little Zoe put her toys back in her toy-pen after she has taken them out? 😉
ReplyDeleteThis weeks haiku went straight to my heart... I have been asking myself the same thing.
Someday... I would love to stay at that gorgeous hotel and meet you and Zoe for a walk. Until then, I so appreciate the beauty you share with us each week! Thank you so. Have a beautiful weekend!
Such a lot of beauty and joy! Most I like the sky and the watercolour-portrait of her ghighness...and the shadowshot... and the doves I likke too, they are rare in our town. I'm always glad to see one.
ReplyDeleteBy the way: every friday I'm hosting a meme "Weekend Green" on my other blog
http://mascha-colorofhope.blogspot.de/

Enjoy your weekend
That first shot is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHello, I love your sweet Yorkie. Pretty dove. Lovely artwork and poem, you are talented. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like your plant plot. Looks like lovely days on Cape Ann and Zoe suitably chilled out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos.
ReplyDeleteI love you Yorkie
Best regards, Irma
Hello Carol!:) Your blog is a peaceful place to visit with your beautiful introspective Haiku, watercolours, and seascapes. Sweet Zoe is looking exceptionally lovely after grooming. She may not love being photographed, but the camera loves her. Have a great weekend.:)
ReplyDeleteAll lovely shots, and especially of miss Zoe!
ReplyDeleteyour medicine plant, is it a kind of aloe vera? We have a plant here that is blooming now.
ReplyDeleteSo it's not just Colorado having the crazy weather? From snow to sunburn in one week! Love your soft watercolor paintings! Happy PPF and Sunday Sketches!
ReplyDeleteSweet springtime angel, happy SS!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed seeing your watercolor painting of your sweet dog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another lovely peek into your world.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous post, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI have a Jack Russell X who hates when a camera is pointing at him. It makes it hard to get a decent photo of him as he usually exits the scene the minute he realises. haha I love your sketch of 'Her Highness' — recognised her instantly. Nice work for Sunday Sketches.
Have a lovely week ~ :)
Lovely series of the week! Nice view on the new hotel, working boat and flowers… but my fav is shadows around Zoe and she’s very cute :)
ReplyDeleteI like your watercolor dog. Subtle and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of photos, but yorkie is adorable!
ReplyDeletexoxo, Juliana | PJ’ Happies :)
Wonderful photos. I love the WIPs, especially of "your highness". LOL :)
