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!


One of the few fishing boats left on Cape Ann MA heading out to sea for Our World Tuesday meme link.



Haiku for Carpe Diem Haiku link with a month of Buddha history.


Textures and hollows in Tree on Cape Ann MA for My Memory Art BW link.

We are wishing you the best in each day. xxx

    I especially like the fishing boat setting out to sea and those tree branches making a tear-drop enclosure are beautiful.

    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

    Love the texture in that tree shot - and the other tree shots as well. I'm currently addicted to all things "tree" ~ so this is right up my alley! And that shot of the boat on the glistening water...so New England! Love it!
