My favorite 'critter' ~ for Critters link

'Artmusedog' on Cape Ann MA
with one of her favorite toys.
'Yep, she caught me again on camera.
I don't know if I like being her assistant
posing too frequently and now she has
me on a diet which means less treats.'

Without the sun there are no shadows.
Cape Ann MA has been having winter like weather
cold and rainy ~ I happened out purposely on
this sunny day to capture some photos.







SUNDAY SKETCHES  photo ~ 
An ethereal angel on 'my shoulder' ~ on Cape Ann MA
