Through the Lens Week

Through the lens provides time to 'pause.'





Mother Nature creates such beautiful Loops and Whirls here on Cape Ann MA for Rurality Blog link and Alphabe Thursday link.





Wintry sky still reflects back to us on Cape Ann MA for Sky Watch Friday link. Now we have more SNOW ~ just a week from when this photo was taken ~ almost a foot of snow!

  5. A tad north, watch for the snow...we've gotten about 4-6-8 inches of heavy stuff with maybe more to arrive. But you folks know what to do with it :) I'm in south western PA. Most snow we've had in years this winter season.

    Thanks for visiting - I didn't know the form I was using had a name - cascading haiku, I like that.
    Cheers ~Jules
