A SHUTTER BUG EXPLORES ~ 79





Welcome to our blog originating from Cape Ann MA.
It is a beautiful place to live and me and my Yorkie
enjoy in all the seasons. I try to create beautiful
photography, meaningful haiku and original art works. My 
yorkie aka Artmusedog (is always nearby, if not close by when I am creating. Always reminding me of the present moment.
We hope you enjoy the blog, comment, share and
come back again. We love our blogger friends and
enjoy meeting new blogger friends too. 




'This new day is too dear with its hopes and invitations
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.'
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson




An area headed towards 'Norman's Woe' on Cape Ann MA
Norman's Woe is a very dangerous area and several ship wrecks have occurred here and many tourists have been washed out
into the ocean ~ It was also the subject of the poem

'Wreck of the Hesperus by 
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow







'A Little Red School House' on Cape Ann MA
Now it is the Magnolia Historical Society and under renovation.
located in Magnolia MA ~ a village area of Cape Ann







Wonderful rocks of Cape Ann MA and
a fence put up to protect people who don't
know how dangerous the ocean can be.






More clouds than sun on Cape Ann MA
I think Spring is going to turn into Summer
Mind you, though, our President said there is
no such thing as 'Climate Change or Global Warming.'
What do you think?






A Haiku for you

  3. Beautiful shots - that is some rugged coastline you've shown us this week. Don't get me started on our president...

  4. Those trees persisting to grow on those boulders are so incredible, maybe they are century old trees!

  5. As always your photos of the water are very beautiful.That stretch of water looks fascinating but also very dangerous. Give the little dog an extra pat from me - one of his fans in Australia!

  8. Of course there is climate change. Anyone not living inside a tower built to try to prop up their ego would know this.
    On a lighter side, love your Easter Angels. It is beginning to look like spring in your area. Have a hoppy Easter.

  9. Love the photos of the area that are reminiscent of the poem by Longfellow - such a sad sad poem!

  10. HI Carol. I love your Angels today. You have some lovely photos, Norman's Woe is pretty, but it does look a bit brutal, and the rocks are really great. Have a wonderful Easter.

  14. I always like rocky places. Nice one here :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yes those rocks do look ship wreckable. Looking or feeling like the wreck of the Hesperus used to be a something people said that one does not hear nowadays. Lovely coastal views. Lucky history group to have such a nice building.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Your rock photos are wonderful, Carol. Long ago and far away now, I wrote a poem about a big rock, and your photos bring back that feeling.

  28. Great post with some wonderful views of your area. Norman's Woe looks beautiful but I can see why it could be dangerous. It's nice they put up a fence on those rocks to help protect people. Great shots of the geese & I loved the Table Rock shot as well.

    ReplyDelete

  35. lOve those little red school houses! My dad has one by his old house in Drakut. Cute Easter drawing!

  36. I love that haiku! The photos are beautiful, I really like Tablet Rock. And about climate change: I think only people with their heads buried deep in the sand can deny there's climate change. Hopefully when they finally come up for air, they will still be able to breathe ... :-(

    ReplyDelete
  37. Love that schoolhouse. Climate change is here to stay. We need to act on it now. I don't understand why people want to destroy the planet we all on.

  38. Lovely photos and a beautiful spot on earth. Happy Easter.

  39. I think he needs to wash the orange out of his hair and maybe he can think more clearly (well, you asked), and I think your angels are adorable and I think Chicken Little needs a towel. Best of all is the Queen, who sits looking proudly over her land. Happy Day! :)
