ABC Wednesday ~ Letter is Z 

Beautiful Cape Ann MA before a summer storm.


Z is for zeitgeist ~ general intellectual, moral and cultural
state of an era.

I wonder what is happening with this changing
era ~ can be a bit puzzling at times.

    Happy 4th of July!
    All your photos are grand.

  3. I love your patriotic angels, your haiku, and I love your spirit. I hope the fireworks don't bother your dog too much. Ours hate the Fourth of July.

  4. Oh what really beautiful photos and art again! Can't pick a fave although I do love the "reflection" and the stormy sea-which really draws me in. Fab patriotic displays too. And I do adore your angel art-and your angel Zoe:) Happy 4th to you and yours!

  7. Happy Independence Day to you too Carol. I hope you and your little muse enjoy the festivities. I love that picture of the before the storm. It says so much. These times are confusing. It shows how one person can make a difference, good or bad. We need all of our angels to help take care of life right now. Namaste.

  28. I hope little Zoe found some shade. Gorgeous Cape Anne pre storm shot! Oliver had to decide between shade and playing with his birthday toys today and managed to do both. I guess he wanted his pool because he ended up resting with one paw in the water dish.
