    Awesome clicks-loved the sparrow Hawk:-)The Haikus are equally amazing Carol-the second one just struck the chord a little too deeply-yes,forgiving oneself is so necessary to move on-beautiful!

    Gorgeous photos and the haiku flutter to the ground perfectly. I do hope you keep posting pictures of the sea during the winter, I need the weekly fix since I am a little to far for a regular drive.
    thanks for your visit

    Love natures signs and symbols. So cool that a Harris hawk was hanging out in our sideyard tree also. Couldn't get a picture in time it flew away.

    Carol,
    I like the last picture. A rose hanging on to the last little slice of summer.

    I enjoy seeing big water shots. Your shot of lines and nets is something that is unique to the water and interesting to me.

    Have a wonderful weekend.
