  4. Oh those stormy scenes!!! I thought of you much during that Nor'easter. But I do understand that coastal areas get hit with less snow-more rain and freezing rain:( Love your mixed media art- that face looks so peaceful. Darling deer sculpture photo-awe... but Zoe takes top honor of course:) Lovely angel of light. Happy -and thawing - week to you!

  5. The ocean looks pretty fierce and the snow on the canoe's look really cool.

    We actually had blizzard conditions, but the snow did not accumulate as expected (we still got ~8").

  21. It did look very cold and stormy in Cape Ann, Carol. That was good "cup of tea and curl up with a good book" type of weather! I'm glad you had a sunny day afterwards in which you could take a walk. Zoe looked very festive for St Patrick's Day!
    Love your drawing --we could all use more angels in our lives.
    Have a good week!

  26. Looks quite a storm! Having just returned from the other side of the Pond, I hope their spring which is bursting forth, will soon be with you! Here's to your cute little leprechaun Art Muse dog playing in the sunshine!
    Have a happy week, Carol

  28. The wild weather does make a great subject for photography - beautiful images! And angelic Zoe looking pretty as ever!

    Have a lovely week,

  29. I wondered how you even get Zoe out for a walk on those horrid bitter rainy days. I bet she and you both were glad for the slightly better weather. Cape Ann beaches look so beautiful in the sunshine -- even if cold. And they are quiet ... I love a quiet beach (pretty hard to find here in Florida).

  30. Your photographs are spectacular as usual, but sweet little Muse Dog took the show this week in that spiffy St. Paddy's Day bandana. Blessings, my friend!

  31. Cold,cold, cold! I do like the images with the snow on the window.
