  2. Great photos - as per usual - but the first one is especially nice. I like the layers of cloud and color and then the long line of light stretching up. Very special! Thanks for sharing.

  3. love your Asian style brush paintings-really lovely Carol. Your photos and poetry always show us a beautiful world-and that's exactly what we need to remember.
    Just wondering-why are the llamas/alpacas wearing harnesses around their faces?

  10. I love your Asian style brush paintings. They are getting better and better in practice. They match your haiku style of poetry perfectly. I look forward to seeing them weekly...even the practice pages. We all have them. Dr Seuss was so wise. His delivery so gentle. I hope you got to see the Super Moon. I saw a photo on FB taken in Cape Ann. It was outstanding. Give the little Muse a pat for me.

  21. Llamas are such peculiar looking creatures, I think it is because they look familiar and yet on closer inspection they aren't. Lovely sunset.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Someone told me to calm down an hour ago, but only fueled my irritation. Your haiku succeeded. Taking deep breaths now. Thanks, Carol. :-)
