Wed and Thurs Haiku and Photography


Living on Cape Ann MA ~ Water everywhere and lots from the Sky lately for Water World Weds Link



The Northeast and Cape Ann MA have had lots of rain and thunderstorms almost daily ~ for Out Door Weds Link



haiku for Carpe Diem ~ 'prompt' ~ Intolerance



'A Bit of Color' ~ 'G' for Geranium for Alphabe Thursday Link



Another 'Grey' Day on Cape Ann ~ 'Mr and Mrs' for Rurality Blog Link


Welcome to 'water world' is right. June on Cape Ann MA was mostly rainy and grey days. July has just begun and we seem locked in this rain, thunderstorms, humidity and 'wet' weather pattern. The upside is everything is very green and lush and over growing every where. Wish we could send some of this weather to the Southwest where they are dry with very high temps. Do hope you enjoy our photography and haiku despite the grey days.

We linked with the following creative bloggers:

Happy Fourth of July to those in the USA.


Wishing you the best in each day. xxooo

  30. The water views are soothing during our little heat wave. We're not used to too much heat out here - we'll be heading for our shore soon.

  31. I know it's summer and we long for sunny days, but I love the atmosphere of these photos. I love a bit cloudy and foggy days on the sea side. It's a great weather for walking (if there is no pouring rain).

  32. lovely photos and haiku!
    It's been very wet here in the Midwest as well.

  33. Geraniums are always so grandly happy!

    I love all your photos, though.

    I think maybe the water views are my favorite this week, though.

    Anything that feels vaguely cooling in these triple digit high humidity July days!

    Thank you for linking.
