| Historical Snippets of Our Blog ~ A ShutterBug Explores aka (A Creative Harbor) We post daily and link to other bloggers. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back often and leave sweet comments. Love having you ~ ^_^ I have chosen 'snippets' because I have learned that life is just that ~ moments of short takes,snaps,and they all add up to the day in time. It all goes by in 'a blink' and then we all wonder where did the time go?' Photography and other creative expressions allow me to 'capture' the moment even for just a nano second. Thus, I am learning to live in the moment, let go of the past and stop worrying about the future and as you know it is not always easy to do so. Life is is like a winding road filled with bumps along the way ~ joy and sorrow. My photography, my haiku, my art and most of all my dear fur person all help me to learn to enjoy the moment and treasure the memories. Life is like that. We are all in transition. Patience.Live in the light. We love your comments.thanks.

Hi Carol! Thanks for your summer visit! The weather is very unbalanced at the moment: sometimes very hot and dry, other days heavy rainfall.
ReplyDeleteHa! I get your title now, Carol. All this time I thought Creative Harbor was the name of the harbor where you live. An actual harbor. I love your harbor even more.
ReplyDelete...I love your fire sky!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol....You know I always enjoy my visits here at your Creative Harbor!!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely Carol!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and your message :-)
I also see you with great pictures here :-)
Best regards, Helma
I really like the new header!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. It looks like a Roman numeral. A sign in the clouds. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI like that you've said...Creativity is spiritual. I've been WAY more creative lately and last night my son asked me what I was going to do with what I'm making. You know, going through the creative process every day is therapy for me and that's worth a lot, isn't it? Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteIt's a little tricky to know that when you want to comment....you just start typing. There's no box that comes up to type in. Did you know you are a 'no reply' blogger? That means I can't reply to a question in the email that comes to me. It's always a lot to make changes! Good luck! Hugs!
DeleteYou click on the latest post or the one you are sharing and there is a place to comment on each post ~ ^_^ ~ Let me know if you figure it out ~ not complicated
DeleteI really enjoyed your thoughts on life and what lovely photos, thanks for sharing and greetings to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I like the new design of the blog.
ReplyDeleteLoving your new header! Have a fantastic week! Hope you are having a lovely summer!
ReplyDeleteI like your new blog design, Carol! It is very fresh and modern. Summer is a busy time and full of good weather and long days to enjoy. I'm looking forward now to fall.
ReplyDeleteHeisann, gorgeous sky, fantastic colour.Our sky is mostly gray theses days. Have nice days late Summer ;:OD)
ReplyDeleteHo Carol. Nice new header. That sun is just peeping. Like here at the moment I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your full new blog. Give my regards to furry pal.
Although to late already, for which I apologize...
ReplyDeleteNot less sincere all the congrats and best wishes for your birthday!!
Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThis photo will always be inspirational, Carol!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Your dog is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI was gonna say to you, you've changed your layout! Then, your new photo for a header. ...well done. I like it a lot. Of course your little 4 legged little one is always the star attraction....I just can't help it.
ReplyDeleteI like your new header but will miss the sunset.
ReplyDeleteSuch blazing sky! Excellent image!

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful sunset and warm color tones.
ReplyDeleteBest, Synnöve
Love the changes you made on the look of the blog. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we have to live in the moment. My late father has a friend, Helen, who is still with us and she is 104 years old and still lives in her own house and is very active and is still mentally active. I asked her what her secret is and she said she learned to feel deeply but let go when you have to do so.
ReplyDeleteWisdom from you and your late father's 104 year old friend ~ so true ~ thanks for responding, Yogi ~ Each day is a new day ~ each moment is a new moment thus, the 'never ending story.' ~ Much love and happiness to you ~
DeleteBeautiful and lovey picture and I love your new header!
ReplyDeleteI can see many little Angels inside you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful memories and great words about moments.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Weekend, Carol!

ReplyDeleteSo glad to have found your creative self! Thank you for the kind word on my blog. Ointment soothed the allergy related itch and burn of inadvertent puncture wounds. I'm thankful our pets are gentle at home. ~grin~ The cats forget I have no fur, especially at the vet's office.
ReplyDeleteReally nice combinations of pictures, and I love that writing that you wrote about preciousness of every moment and snaps and life. What other fur friends do you have? I have two (dog-brothers). I just absolutely love our animal friends.

Profound observation and lovely collage of photos!
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy WE, Carol!

Living in the moment is a fantastic idea. Continue being awesome! Best wishes to you, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI like the new header and bet many of us shutterbugs think that way as well. Of course her royal furness must be in the middle. Many hugs and kisses to you both. Have a safe and cool weekend.
ReplyDeleteI share your sentiments about life Carol. Life is so very fleeting and goes by in a blink. We must enjoy the moments we have without wasting our time on the past or the future. It's difficult for me too but I keep trying :=). Your photos are so beautiful and your fur baby too. It's nice to have both.
ReplyDeleteI like the new header, Carol and share your sentiment as I bet many of us shutterbugs do, you take enough photos you can't help but to think that way. Kisses to Zoe, ssshhhmmmoooch.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE your photos...and your Woofie has the most expressive face!
ReplyDeletePurrs

ReplyDeleteVery nice! I like your new header!
ReplyDeleteI just love this blog because of the photos and quotes. I think what you said about living in the moment is so true. I take one day at a time and take God and His Guardian Angels with me daily. Happy Friendship Day and Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI like the header. How fun. Photography is so great. I stop at things people would just pass on by.

No we don't know what is going on unless those comments went to SPAM/Junk Folder. I know that has happened to some of my readers. Did you get a notice that I commented twice on your site this week? 2 different posts. If not, might want to check SPAM/Junk Folder. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteCraziness of cyberspace ~ can not reply on own blog
DeleteOh how sweet your dog looks! I love the sentiment in this, it is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo cute :)
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteLife is short. I find living it in the moment difficult to do but I'm trying to not having my camera up to my face all the time missing those moments. I truly appreciate your friendship and hope your Thanksgiving holiday is a happy blessed occasion spent with those you love. Have furtastic week, dear friend and God bless!
Pretty new blog design.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos Carol, and love your words on enjoying the moment. Wise and words to live by.
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteI need to learn to live more in the moment. It's easy to let life pass you buy when your face is buried in photography or blogging. These days, I just using my iPhone if I see something pretty to capture. :) Have a wonderful Christmas!
Hope everything okay with you as I don't see any more posts. If your blog has moved to a new location, please let me know.

I am learning to live in the moment, let go of the past and stop worrying about the future and as you know it is not always easy to do so. Life is is like a winding road filled bumps along the way ~ joy and sorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi, Carol and Artmuse, as always you make me smile and feel good when I come to visit. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are a woman after my own heart--a creative woman with a Yorkie who loves photography! Your Zoe is precious and reminds me of my Sunny. I, too, have learned to live in the moment, as daily challenges sometimes can destroy us, if we let them. (Especially when we can't see a light at the end yet.)
ReplyDeleteYours is a living Blog and a Blog Life ;)
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love it.
ReplyDeleteCarol - I always picture you in a serene part of the world, enjoying walks with the dog, going with the flow of the seasons! Love the new header and your snippets - here's to enjoying the moment for us all. Love Wren x

Love what you wrote and the snippets. I, too, am trying to stay present - leaving the past behind. Just today a haiku came to me but I didn't have a pen - I'm hoping it comes back to me - it had to do with this subject.
ReplyDeleteLove your fur person. I also treasure my snippets of time and art.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI love your fur person and the feel of your page! It just feels so real and down to earth. You are so right, life so by in a flash and you have to capture it. Looking forward to what you have to share.

I relate to this so much! Enjoying the moment and capturing it is what inspired my photography journey last year.
ReplyDeleteThis is very lovely indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really cute dog, and I love the scenery there. I live in Omaha, Nebraska. No ocean, mountains or waterfalls. Just lots of flat grassland. But you can see for miles.
ReplyDeleteTremendous effort into beauty!
