Through the Lens ~ 2nd Weekend in March

Through the lens I see, at times, 'shades of grey'. ~ carol



It snowed again today on Cape Ann MA so somewhat limited in Photo walking.
ArtMuse Dog was put to work and she was very curious about what I was up to. She had
also just been groomed and had her St Paddy's Day bow and glued on earrings.

This house and turret caught my eye as it seemed to be built on top of the front building
roof. Yet, believe they are two separate buildings.

  18. The 2nd haiku is excellent. It has that required 'twist' at the end, which is supposed to surprise the reader. Most white people haiku is pseudoku! Well done.

  47. What a wonderful post Carol ... those photos are gorgeous. The haiku are well composed, but that painting of the pinquins (I don't know if I have written that correct) has stolen my heart.

  53. That grass poodle is very lifelike. Nice capture of the pampas grass but every time I see it I chuckle because it is a weed and will take over everything if not checked.

  54. Such a long winter. Art Muse Dog was beautiful in her St Pats Day finery!
