Through the Lens Week



Through the lens I see the ever changing seasons and their gifts.




You can still see the rough ocean and frozen saltwater icicles on Cape Ann MA boulevard for

Haiku for Carpe Diem Haiku Kai link



'H' for Happy Sliders after the storm on Cape Ann MA for Alphabe Thursday link




Allie and I are trying for a 'sketch a day' for Creative Everyday link.



When salt water freezes you know it is cold for Happy Blue Monday link.





Haiku for Cape Diem Haiku Kai link.






What 'our world' after the storm on Cape Ann MA looks like for Our World Tuesday link.
It was called a 'blizzard' because of the wind factor even though we only got 12 inches.











We wish you the best in each day. xxx

  4. Thats a very different world to mine today! There is a part of me that would love to spend a winter in a place that does things like this - but I think my wife and kids may have different ideas!!

  8. The icicles are amazing. I don't think it's normal to see that much snow right next to the ocean.

  11. Hi Carol
    Your winter weather has hit our news - it looks really pretty, those saltwater icicles are incredible! It is going to be one 'ell of a cold shock to one Aussie daughter who leaves for your shores in two weeks she doesn't own a coat other than a ski jacket which she says she can't wear to college - but judging by your photos I reckon she could!
    HBM !

  16. I have never in my life seen a snow-covered beach (nor even imagined such a thing). Same for the frozen ocean water droplets. Beautiful pictures but oh so cold. A fascinating post. I hope you stay warm.

    Your shots of the frozen sea are beautiful and intriguing to this landlubber from Oklahoma.
