She makes a perfect Queen! Your haiku is wonderful...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYour dog is adorable especially in that coat.
ReplyDeleteArt Muse Dog looks content to be out and about!
ReplyDeleteNice photographs. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the B&W image best, apart that is from The Queen in her fur coat.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always beautiful and that first one is very special. I love the look of the snow against that deep blue water.
ReplyDeleteI like your "Crosspost". I'll try it on my blog. Thanks Carol and AMD xx.
ReplyDeleteArtMuse Dog, you look spiffy in that little coat and I see I am not the only one to think so!
ReplyDeleteAngels, Carol? Thanks for sharing.
Art Muse dogs looks cute in the winter coat..Love haiku and pretty scenery! The reflections on the harbor are beautiful. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeletei just admire those that can write period, let alone a poetry or haiku.,
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! Your dog is really a Queen, a cute one! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots and words too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little warmer there, Carol. The water is so bright blue in the first photo--so beautiful! Art Muse looks very chic in his winter coat ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the image of 'ladies and gentlemen dressed in their Sunday's finest, parasols and all.' ArtMuseDog brightens up my week!
ReplyDeleteWow! fantastic images.
ReplyDeleteDearest Carol;
ReplyDeleteYour sweet Art Muse looks SO LOVELY in winter scene; she sure is "Queenly Dog"♡♡♡ Taoism is wonderful precept, isn't it!
I love angels as well, my friend♬♬♬ I hope you all are having a wonderful new week.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
What lovely scenery!
ReplyDeleteShalom Carol. May that sweet red angel watch over you both and your warm doggie too.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful your photos are and I love your haiku! Artmuse dog is so adorable too!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to live near such a beautiful location so full of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIndeed: the captured image of the harbour is so good in colours and b&W, also! Lovely message, images and haiku, too...
ReplyDeleteI love Art Muse dogs little coat! Lovely photos of your surrounding area-the water is ever so soothing-even with the snow about :)
ReplyDeleteThe queen looks so cute in her little coat! I like both the B&W and color photo of the harbor.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are great. I laughed at the little Queen's coat, very cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought I'd like the BW version of the Harbor as much as I do! So interesting to compare the two.
ReplyDeleteThere is mystery in threes - me, myself and I :)
ReplyDeleteHi,Carol. Nice captures. I like your first photo very much. Humility is very important character for Japanese people. I also like your angel's photo and the Haiku very much. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post Carol ... what a joy to watch all those great photos and to read your haiku.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice. I love the little angel, and the haiku was very good.
ReplyDeleteLooks still very cold at your place ! Love the picture of the queenly dog, lol
ReplyDeleteIn black and white, I pick up the tree silhouettes (which you know I love!), the light on the water and the ruggedness of the rocks near the sea. In color, the sky is, in fact, the star! Love that you shared in both. Also...I see a day trip to cape Ann to visit and, perhaps, to meet you (!!) in my future!!
ReplyDeleteNice mood in the b & w.
ReplyDeleteLovely sceneray, love the dog :-) regards, Ritva
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your post thank you
ReplyDeleteQueenly indeed! She's so cute...
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm amazed by that blue water in your first shot! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNo one has ever accused me of being a dog person---crazy bunny lady, yes---but not a dog person. But when I scrolled that Queenly canine into view my heart actually skipped a beat. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, Nice selections this week♪ Hope your winter is letting up! http://lauriekazmierczak.com/familiar-winter-sighting/
ReplyDeleteCute photo of your dog in his coat!
ReplyDeleteLovely pup! Love the angel too, have a thing for them.
ReplyDeleteLove your shots! And the quote... I really need to remember that!
ReplyDeleteTerriers are so cute in little sweaters. My neighbor use to walk her little Terrier named Dolly in the winter wearing a pink sweater. She looked so adorable! She was also a silly dog, as she would always bark at the big dogs that walked by who made her little attention or without so much as a mere glance. I love all of your photos, as always. Cape Ann is a beautiful harbor community. If we ever get back up that way, then we may have to veer off course to see your neck of the woods. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of ArtMuse Dog -- the browns and greys along the beach match her perfectly!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Carol!
ReplyDeleteYour *Q*ueenly Yorkie is so photogenic! Gorgeous - could have been on one of "my" runways herself!
ReplyDeleteI really like seeing the photo in b& w and color. In the b&w version I love the sky and the trees! The contrasts in that composition are so striking.
ReplyDeleteLovely sky on the last shot
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteSydney – City and Suburbs
