A SHUTTERBUG EXPLORES ~ 4

'Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you.'
~ Annie Dillard 





A Shutterbug will be exploring Cape Ann MA this week with her camera and her assistant as always. We do look for 'the magic' and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. What a gift. What treasures nature offers to each of us.



We start our 'blogland' week on late Monday afternoon for Tuesday and then add a post each day. Hope you will make a return visit and share with us.

  2. I am partial to all the mums I see this time of year in big pots. The added touch of the little scarecrow makes a nice autumn welcome for visitors to your home. :)

  37. The haiku made me stop to think... Being the snowbird that I am, but wherever I am, always " here". Lovely Fall scenes whether at the end of your driveway or a bit further afield.
