I do love your haikus although I'm totally unqualified to comment on them! Don't know how much more qualified I am to comment oh photos, but at least I do understand how good you are at them!
ReplyDeleteThe reflection shot through the rainy window is really great...the warm light looks so inviting on such a gray chilly day...like a welcome home!

ReplyDeleteDoes it forgive
The spiller

Fabulous post! Once again your haikus are awesome, the drawings, the photos - everything is wonderful. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy journey is, I'm afraid, much like that of the snowflakes: spiraling.
ReplyDeleteApril Showers
Really like the shot of the frosted window and the warm reflection of the light inside.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am so thankful that I get to start anew each morning!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the kitty painting as well as both window shots - I'm fascinated with window blind shots this year for some reason.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art! I love the photo of the warm light and reflections! Very crative!
ReplyDeleteLovely work this week Carol, interesting effect with that digital mask.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute brave cat :-)
ReplyDeleteThe kitty is my favorite as well.
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!

ReplyDeletethe ice window - great catch....and I really like your colored-in sketches, espec. the 'nature girl'
ReplyDeleteI love that reflection shot, there is something very romantic about it :) Thank you for stopping by pret-a-vivre Carol, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe lady in the frosted window is just great. Love the cat - but they are only brave when they have no choice! (not so different from us I guess) HPPF
ReplyDeleteSuch a great range of creativity, I love the haiku
ReplyDeleteHow I love photos contrasting icy cold with the warm orange glow of hearth and home.
ReplyDeleteGreat haiku, Carol. Your watercolors are lovely. I especially like the brave cat.
ReplyDeleteLove your nature girl and your photos are awesome! Great Haiku's. Spot on! Thanks Carol.:)
ReplyDeleteNice reflective capture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketches, great photos, brilliant haikus! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteI came for the B&W and stayed to view the rest. A nice visit to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI really like the reflection of the droplets on the window.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love your Nature Girl with those sweet flowers in her hair and Brave Cat looks like he's just about to say something! Hope you had a good week! -janice
ReplyDeleteCarol and Art Muse, you have put together a very impressive post. Your cat is brave. Mine is a wuss. I think he was the one they named cats scaredy cats after. If anyone comes to visit us he runs and hides till they leave. When hubby moves too quick he runs till all is still again...He is the same color as your tabby though.
ReplyDeleteLove the cat painting and the photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI like your sketches - especially the lady -really pretty!
ReplyDeleteWonderful B&W shot, and extremely beautiful haiku, Carol!

Wonderful work! Gee, it looks VERY cold there where you are!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're so prolific, Carol! When do you have time to eat or sleep?
ReplyDeleteLove your girl with the blue hat, too :)
I like your reflection picture : it is such a good symbol of winter : inside cosy and warm with the lamp and its orange light, and outside icy and grey... Very inspired, like your haïku !
ReplyDeleteYour black and white has so many different lines. Nicely spotted.
ReplyDeletePeace, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your haikus. But the picture of the cat reminded me of our cat, Sam. How I miss him some days. Have a wonderful weekend!! Cathy
ReplyDeleteJust wanting you to know that I stopped by to look and read. Nothing to say except perhaps I love your very simply expressed photos of your artwork, especially the human portrait. I also love the Black and White photograph very much. Cloudy gray sky days are seen in Black and White, not only by the camera lens, but by the observer as well. Soothes me to live with this kind of sight.
ReplyDeletePeace
Need picture through the blinds.
ReplyDeleteSo moodlifting photos! The girl and her cat are so adorable too! but the best are the flowers in the beginning! Hope spring will come soon ;) xox Conny
ReplyDeleteI love your signs of spring! The next two photos, wow, I need to try that. I really thought they were water colors.
ReplyDeleteIt's a grey winter day in Warsaw. Your tulips cheered me up. I like the photo of your window with droplets of snow.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
it is important to create art everyday - keep those creative juices flowing!
ReplyDeleteThat shot of the slush on the window with the winter scene outside makes me want to snuggle up under that lamp with a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and a good book. Very nice. :)
ReplyDeletebrave cat...he's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteand the lines in the B&W photo:)
Love all that you do♥♥
I love the tulips! Looking forward to spring :)
ReplyDeleteWow!! You've been so busy! Your paintings and photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteA delightful post. Your tulips are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have those tulips on my desk. What a cheerful sight.
ReplyDeleteI love your sketching... I've been getting back into some art lately... the tulips are lovely, can't wait for spring! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #71!
ReplyDeleteWeekend Reflections . . . the branches turn magically into frost. Very poetic!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely collection of photos this week! I'm especially smitten with the photo of the ice on the window. Beautiful!
