Photographers and Poets

L ~ Love and Loyalty



WED and THURS POST:  Another 'across the pond' sharing so 'day ahead' posting. The above photo is of ArtMuse Dog (not her real name) to me is the ultimate expression of Love and Loyalty. She weighs all of 8 lbs but it filled with love and a delight in my life as well as others. Wherever I take her, she 'steals the show'. She is there when I am creating and there when I am writing this blog as well. She works hard, plays hard and has a real knack for napping. Yet, she is a wonderful blog assistant. Do you have a blog assistant?





'Guess Who Arrived for Breakfast?'



Yep, upon awaking I was greeted by this wonderful cruise ship out side my window in the Cape Ann Harbor. We now have several tourists ships that arrive in the Fall on our lovely island of Cape Ann.

We are combining two posts today, Wednesday and Thursday Post. The prompts for ABC Wednesday was (L) which is the first photo. The second photos is for Alpahbe Thursday as the prompt for this blogs was (T) for Travel.  Both photos are for Outdoor Wednesday, Rural Journal Thursday and Two Bears Farm. My haiku for Haiku Sensational are below. To go to those blogs the links are below:

Haiku(prompt was credit)

need to give credit
where credit is due, timely
kudos assistant.
-o-

give self credit now
do others really care now
does it matter now.
-o-

now, the present gift
missed myself credit due
oops, fell in black hole.
-o-

My creativity is needing a walk on the beach and it is 70 degrees here so guess it is a good thing that I had to post early for the European blog. Do hope you enjoy the photographs and haiku and will hop over the pond to view even more.


Hugs and namaste,



and




We love to have you post your comments to delight us all in the day, especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^
