Our World Tuesday and Tackle It Tuesday


One of Cape Ann, MA ~ Fishing Boats


Welcome to our blog where I view life from the eyes of an artist's soul and with my assistance, ArtMuse Dog explore how creativity enhances the inner spirit.



As a child I was given a paint box and a small 'brownie' camera, being a very observant child it was a natural for me. Yet, along with that later came the 'adage' you can not make any money being an artist. So I took the pragmatic route and went to college yet always finding outlets for my creativity whether it was intellectually, emotionally or physically. Now, am grateful I have the time to create art and practice photography, yet always feel I am 'playing catch up'. It is fun, though. So today we are linked with photographers from around the world as well as poets. We are linked with:

Tackle It Tuesday

and

Our World Tuesday


The photo above is for Our World Tuesday and is a photograph of one of the very few left of the famous Gloucester Fishing Fleet. It is a beautiful boat in a beautiful town. My haiku for Tackle It Tuesday is below and is based on the theme of this photo below:


haiku

in a small village
far from the maddening crowd
 maze to contemplate.

labyrinth walking
meditate, contemplating
listen inner soul.

lush green of nature
delighting the inner soul
gift from the spirit.





Hugs and namaste,

  6. Old fishing boats can be an experience. Been on smaller boats. Even then it was fun! It's a tough life out there! The doggie is cute, Carol!

  9. The boat looks understandably tired.....and your haiku set had a very floating and soothing feel.....

  10. From one Carol to another Carol..

    I love that you are taking time to catch up on your true passions. Fishing boats have a "salt of the earth" feel to them that your photograph has done a wonderful job of capturing. I liked the Haiku as well.
