Poets, Photographers and Artists Thursday


Rocky Neck part of Cape Ann MA ~ for (N) at Alphabe Thursday


Notice the white caps on the ocean. It was quite windy and cold that day here on Cape Ann MA. A snowstorm arrived a few days afterward. Between the sky and ocean here they are rather consistent predictors of the weather.





For Carpe Diem Haiku ~ prompt ~ 'courage' ~ also for Creative Everyday


Whether it is poetry or photography it is all creatively inspiring to my inner spirit. There are many other modes of creativity at Creative Everyday.

Hawaii for Cool Clicks Thursday


Hawaii where I visited a few years ago and right now would be a lovely place to be, out the snow, ice and cold of New England.


We are sharing today with these creative bloggers:

  3. You have a wonderful blog, Carol, and your Artmuse assistant is adorable! I recently returned to California after living for several years in Maine. I miss New England but have to admit the snow here is easier to live with than yours! Thanks for your nice comment on my blog today. :-)

  34. in your photo of Cape Ann, the lighthouse looks like a miniature! Guess it's the harbor in the background that makes it look like that! {:-Deb

  35. Hi Carol ~~ I am liking your "N" word. That point looks a little busy and hectic with the clutter and yet pretty much abandoned and deserted.
    I would have liked to have seen the lighthouse up a little closer, is it working?
