  1. It's been a wet week here in the Great Lakes region - but they are at record lows, and there are places in the Mississippi River that are non-navigable.

    We need a big Aquarius delivery.

    Cheers!

  2. Great variety in the post for both the eye and the mind. I love them all, but am really fond of your Cape Ann shot.

  3. Spring is on its way even if Cape Ann feels chilly with briny breezes. The trees will looks much warmer with leafy boughs. Until then, the bare trees leave artistic shadows! I love the symmetry stacked stones in the rural areas...the watercolor parrots are beautiful!

  12. My shadow is long in the morning, because it is eager to go outside faster than me.

    It is long in the evening, falling behind, as is reluctant to come back.

  29. Oh, my goodness, Carol...I wish you could teach me how to sketch. I just love your things. Now that I am really retiring asap, maybe I can go back to it. Took many art classes thru the years, but have always felt like I was a dim wit at it. Sewing, quilting, and knitting,...another thing. Feel right at home. Back to your post. Your mosaic is so pretty. The stones are stacked sort of like the hoo doos we create in our creek out front. Happy Week :-) genie

  43. I really enjoy your blog, but today can see very little of it. The page times out before it downloads. I suspect that your photos are posted at high resolution - that's the usual cause.
    Anyway. I'll pop back soon and hopefully see more then.
    Have a good week
