| Despite the rain, fog, wind and cold and hot temperatures ~ I am grateful for this beautiful flower and others in my yard on Cape Ann MA that are thriving with the variable weather. |

| St. Peter's Fiesta is coming and this was display at the nine day novena on Cape Ann MA. It is an Italian event that is in its 90th year. Also, this is part of a display the women put together for the novena that began last Monday. The quote touched my heart deeply. |

ReplyDeleteOh Zoe dog, I's glad Carol points that thing at you - cuz then we can all share in the joy of your company!... I adore the angels this week - and the quote of anchors... hugs from here to there. YAM xx
I love your ocean shots. Your cute critter looks a little grumpy :)
ReplyDeleteYour little dog has a look that says I am so patient with you. Must you take pics of me again?
ReplyDeleteoh such a lovely post from top to bottom Carol. How can one tire of angels? or the ocean? or beautiful haikus? or darling Zoe? Nuff said. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy this week. I enjoyed all of your photos. I like your angels too. Have a great week and give Zoe a pat for me.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be so close to the ocean!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures as usual, but I especially love the rocky coast and the best at the end, lol !
ReplyDeleteCarol,I love your Haiku and image....and I never tire of angels,we need them all.....our fur angels too (especially)! Nature seems to adapt wonderfully to changes in weather conditions....the internal clocks just keep ticking.
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a lovely creative week,
Ruby
Great post Carol, i'm afraid your little dog steels the show as usual, and He dosn't know how famous she is.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one , Gordon.
Hi! I like your first photo very much. Your paintings are very lovely. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteToday I'm thankful for flowers, especially after looking at yours.
ReplyDeleteX would be a hard letter to complete. You did it. Nice watercolors too!

I've betting Artmuse Dog is a real ham at this point. One of the Teddys I take care of is like that, will pose at the drop of a hat (or in his case the wearing of one). Your watercolor angels are sublime as are the cape shots. I wouldn't have picked out the little duck, very cute.
ReplyDeleteThe white flower is so beautiful. what is that?
ReplyDeleteEwok's ABC WEDNESDAY
I love the quote. We have been reeling from a serious of dreadful events since I arrived in the UK, and this touched me. It is a fitting quote following your angels and no we will never tire of these!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, to you and Art-muse dog :)

nice collection of toys you have there zoe :)
ReplyDeletethat coast picture is lovely :D
Nice captures! Your dog is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWell I could say, x-marks the spot to but that would refer to a dry spot where nobody needs to take a swim, a dive maybe ;-0
ReplyDeleteHave a X-traordinary ABC-day / week

ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
Could feel the cold and wind at X mark and wonder how the duck bear all! Beautiful flower and Zoe steals my heart with each post of yours. As usual it’s a cute painting :)
ReplyDeleteTwilight--which comes twice each day!--is a lovely time indeed.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! Always great aspects shared, lovely details from nature and positive words in lyrics (haiku). Also, so delicate watercolor angels in you drawings. And little Zoe is so cute looking at your photo camera, too.
ReplyDeleteWeather is so confusing in these days, in here, as well... Summer is just at the beginning.
A nice day and weekend! warm greetings, Alexa
You always have the cutest critter! Love your beautiful flower and the angels too. Enjoy your afternoon! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so lovely. I always like seeing Zoe! Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteAfter all these years reading your blog I finally google mapped where Cape Ann is to help put all this in context.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots of the surf and the sky and your angels are wonderful. and I always look forward to seeing the puppy pics.
Love the flower! Is it Clematis?
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty sky shot. I like how the subtle pink mixes with blue!
ReplyDeleteHello, Carol, Wonderful views of your beautiful Cape Ann, despite the weather! Love your tender angels and haiku. The quote is so lovely and of course, Zoe steals the show! Love the basket of toys in the background :) Hope you have a warm and lovely weekend. x Karen
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, art and words - I never tire of angels! Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, I love seeing photos from your world. The rocky coast is spectacular and so different from my lazy sandy southern California coast! Happy PPF!
ReplyDelete~~ Irene
Your angels are beautifully arranged, happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that flowers find ways to recycle themselves! Happy haiku Friday to you!
ReplyDeleteYour free angels are most charming. Thanks for beautiful photos.

ReplyDeleteenjoy a gorgeous weekend-you just enhanced mine. xo

ReplyDeleteIf only I could walk with you and Zoe and escape this heat. I might even be tempted to swim with the duck. Love your adorable angels. Less is more and these are so free and soft!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely angels you've been painting! Zoe is so charming and I love the other photos as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol..so much magic..I am enjoying your watercolor angels..soft, serene and magical! so beautiful! Also like the anchor quote..powerful!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your world

what are the chances of the duck remaining at X in the cold water? I often go to our lake and watch the ducks.
ReplyDeleteLove the little angels. So simple yet powerful. The pooch is adorable, too! :)
ReplyDeleteHello, first I have to say your Zoe is my favorite too. I would never be tired of seeing your beautiful angels, very pretty paintings. The rocky coastline is gorgeous, I am sure there are a lot of sea ducks there. Beautiful flowers and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the anchor quote. And painting all those angels just has to bring you luck.
ReplyDeleteWow these are all so beautiful. My favorite is Haiku my Heart.
ReplyDeleteall your images and paintings are lovely! Love that last pic with all the toys in the background!
ReplyDeleteWonderful haiku and I like you watercolour-angels.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the name of the beautiful white flower (a kind of peony?)? Never seen before...
Enjoy your weekend
I didn't see the ocean duck at first but there he is :-) Love your haiku and the photo, too! Pretty flower on unique stone pavement!
ReplyDeleteAdorable photos and angels!! Love Zoe with her toys in the background. Never tire of seeing her sweet face! I am grateful daily for every little thing in my life....especially my kids!!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
That coast looks great for exploring.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Love the photos especially the one of the waves crashing on the rocks- have a good weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos but I have to admit that you really did save the best for the last. An especially adorable shot and I LOVE your floors!
ReplyDeleteI love Cape Ann - the rugged shore has allowed for many a shipwreck. Yet, its rugged beauty is awesome! Art muse is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol!:) Zoe is so adorable, Lovely shots of her as usual.:) We can't get enough of your angels, and I love the artistic display, and beautiful quote you shared,... also lovely flower, and shots of your coast at Cape Anne. Have a great week.:)
ReplyDeleteWe all need an anchor, don't we? Thanks for linking to Shadow Shot Sunday 2.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and the Quote is by far the best. Blessings, Janet
