Winter on Cape Ann, MA Freezing, frozen, fair weather sky and more..... Here at A Creative Harbor and it being February that means Winter in all its glory. It is a good time to be creative, to work around the cold, ice, snow and wind. Have a fancy teapot or two to have a warm cup of tea to delight the inner body and spirit. In the mosaic photos above ~ the upper left is "Ice on the Rocks" ~ upper right ~ 'Fancy Some Tea?' ~ lower left ~ 'Fair weather Sky' lower right ~ 'Have another Ice on the Rocks' In New England, one learns to go 'with the flow' as 'they' say.
Wonder how you spend your winter months? Wishing you the best in each day. Your posted comments delight us in every way.

ReplyDeleteFairweather sky is lovely Carol.
ReplyDeletewisdom needed for journey -- great haiku. is that a cake shaped like a teapot?? ^^ yum!! yes, i'd like a cup please ^^
ReplyDeleteGreat winter photos. I can feel the chill from the nature in my bones, and then becoming warm again, by the help of a hot cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI have learned to love my life, even if I don't understand it.
How true your haiku! When I lived in New England many years ago the saying was, "If you don't like the weather , wait a minute!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a North Woods person. I really like this!
ReplyDeleteWisdom needed just in the far north country? Oh, I'm sure I need it here too!

Lovely takes!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite today "Fair Weather Sky"....the pink hues on the clouds make it a perfect day.
ReplyDeletePretty photos, but it does look cold!
ReplyDeletetesting ~ seems if I use my name and Google to comment it doesn't link to my blog but to google plus and I don't want to use the page as I have more people in my circles under my name than under my blog page ~ I am confused ~ any replies appreciated ^_^
ReplyDeleteI wish I understood Google+ better. Actually I haven't really tried...just seems like one more thing to complicate my life.
ReplyDeleteYour images of Ice on the Rocks (love the title)are very intriguing. Nature has so many beautiful surprises for us every day. Our winter is already drawing to a close here in Texas. We had a mild one so I've been able to keep doors and windows open as I paint. Extreme heat makes it pretty impossible to do that in the summer.
It's always best when Mother Nature smiles. Nice one.
ReplyDeletegreat post today .... the mosaic, your (?) haiga, and the Wagner quote...all wonderful creations...
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts very much. This was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat mosaic! The fair weather sky is beautiful. I like the quote too.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that Mother Nature smiles at our supposed wisdom?
ReplyDeleteLady Wisdom
You could read it that way ~ up to the reader ~ thanks for commenting ~
DeleteBeautiful images with lovely poems.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! I spend the winter months with a hot drink in hand and warm soup in my belly :)
ReplyDeleteYour post makes me long for a cup of tea! Thank you for this delightful invitation!

Love that lacy one with the rock...very unique.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I had a customer remind me of the benefits of snow as I complained about our recent blizzard the other day. She wisely reminded me that we live in the great lake state and we had a drought this summer so the snow is sorely needed to replenish our lakes. So I will agree with you; it is a good time to regroup and tend to our creative side within our homes.
ReplyDeleteThe shot of the sky is gorgeous! Wonderful photography. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the teapot. Keep warm.
ReplyDeleteCan certainly agree with your haiku
ReplyDeleteWinter walk
requires wisdom
of warm clothes

Nothing like a hot pot of tea and cake on a cold day. I look forward to the snow if we have fair weather skies like that. Our weather is fluctuated by 9 degrees at the moment, very strange, snow one day and disappeared the next.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely shots Carol.
ReplyDeleteCatching up with Ruby Tuesday.
