Carol, it is kind of sad to see summer coming to an end. the boats in the harbor are such a pretty scene. I love your haiku. The hibiscus is beautiful. Enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. The contrast between the first blue photo and the grey one a little further down is really great. I am always surprised at the variety of boats in the harbor scenes which you show. I have to comment on your red flower - a hibiscus - I didn't know they would survive through one of your snowy winters!
ReplyDeleteRocky Neck looks like a very busy place even now that it's September!
ReplyDeleteLovely captures for the day as always, Carol! I do love the boats! Hope you have a great week!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou always find so much of interest on and around the water.
ReplyDeleteAlways so much to see here! :)
ReplyDeleteA great post ---
Very pretty - it looks like summer is still hanging on.
ReplyDeleteI'm early here this week, for once. Your lovely haiku is very appealing. The old fashion lifeguard chair is so nostalgic. I'll drop in again to see what you have added later in the week. And of course, there is always Haiku My Heart.
ReplyDeleteHari Om

Anita ~ in MA we are moving into Fall so it was my 'dry New England humor' coming through ~
DeleteHa.. Iove the humor of brown shoes
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos...and that cute haiku of the dog doo doo...ah remembering going to school wondering where that smell was coming from...(sigh)
ReplyDeleteI like the "just waiting for summer to return" most of all.
ReplyDeletewaiting is difficult, sometimes...
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
I've been in a brown-shoe state myself--and it didn't bring a smile to my face!
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI simply love your after the storm pic, my kinda mood.

Beautiful photos,xx

ReplyDeleteyour create a safe harbor with the light of your beautiful heart.
Jamie Wyeth is one of my favorite artists.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Carol, love your haiku this week, all so different eliciting different responses within me... the phoenix rising... will walk with me this morning as I step out into the drizzle that is waiting for me to loose myself in... I have many fond memories of Boston. It is lovely to visit there again with you! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope that light continues to shine from your soul!
ReplyDeleteLovely as usual! I'm so excited about the arrival of fall!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I find a lovely collection of words and images here, any of which might provide just that spark to begin the healing process where needed.
ReplyDeleteI always feel happy here seeing your lovely pics, art and of course little art muse mutt, who wouldn't be looking at his cuteness!
ReplyDeleteI love your red hibiscus! We bought two plants to go at our front door, but ended up planting them in the garden, where they are flourishing. Hopefully we won't have a winter freeze.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these photos and words are awesome Carol. I like the healing haiku best, and of course the picture of art must dog!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your wonderful photos Carol and your variety of haikus… especially regarding light… beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful slant of light that comes in with Autumn. LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteNice offering, luv the yellow mums and the red hibiscus, have a good weekend
ReplyDeleteMuch love...
Beautiful collection of photos of Cape Ann!! Love your little dog.:) Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely frames for each meme. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteNeat meme participations ! I came to see reflections, but I enjoyed everyone. Thanks for the lovely sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and gentle words. So enjoyed our first visit, Carol!
ReplyDeleteJulie and the kitties
Your first photo shows an excellent sculpture. Fine work.
ReplyDeleteHey sweet face saw many Wyeth exhibits in Pa. and also your swan paddleboats memories blessings Sandy
ReplyDeletelovely blooms and cute ducks. always love the watery scenes.
ReplyDeleteso many wonderful shots...one of my favorites is the red chair...waiting
ReplyDeleteThere are stories behind each of the pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.
Beautiful photos, and I thought the Holly Step Lightly haiku adorable (plus she's adorable!) :-) Thanks for stopping by my quilting blog and commenting!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother would be all ga-ga over that Indian statue. She is OBSESSED with Native American culture. She even has one of the largest arrowheads collections. (I think she finally donated most of them to Texas A&M University).
ReplyDeleteLoved the pic of the ducks. It reminded me of seeing the ducks at Disney World. (We're returning in November, and for some reason the ducks at Disney have always been like celebrities. I can't help loving them).
Those swan boats look like fun.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, Love the ducks and all your images. Your Holly haiku is cute! Thank you for linking up to my critter party.. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHolly has such a sweet face. And this is another great collection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of photos... The reflection of a watery bike is excellent...Have a nice weekend...
ReplyDeleteI love the soft focus around the beautiful Hibiscus flower, it has one of my favorite flower shapes with the swirly petals and columnar golden center. And I like the cute ducks, and all the harbor and boat scenes. The swan boats make pretty reflections, they must be quite a sight moving through the water.
ReplyDeleteGood sequence of shots and the statue is perfect for black and white.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you have a series of great shots, Carol! But the boats and sail boats remain my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteOnce healing begins, it's hard to stop, I think.
ReplyDeleteCutting Winter Wood
Lovely epiphany -- and wow, how I love the black&white shot at the museum.
ReplyDeleteLove your humorous haiku and the light beams!
ReplyDeleteLovely images! .... visiting from The Weekend in Black & White
ReplyDeleteCrows cawing even in the night? Is there no relief from them?
ReplyDeleteToo Early for Crows
Lemon in the pasta water, I'm trying that! Love the R is for red hibiscus flower. Have a lovely week, some there is still some warmth in the air for you even if you are waiting for summer's return!
ReplyDeleteWren x
Great pics and I like the 'Crow" haiku... :-)
ReplyDeleteYour haiku are awesome. Especially holding onto the healing words of soul and light. Missed visiting your blog. Beautiful photos. A pat on the head to Art Muse.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. All comments at one place!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of assorted images.
ReplyDeleteStirring quotes and Haikus. And I love that beach chair shot.
ReplyDeleteI really like the photo of the Native American praying to the Great Spirit.
ReplyDeleteLife's transience is both a blessing and a curse, I think.
ReplyDeleteJourney's End
Powerful sculpture! Golden light is beginning to envelop the land.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely images.
Enjoy your week,
Ruby
Dear Carol, it is so nice to visit your blog again. I missed your beautiful haikus. Fantastic post and lovely photography!

ReplyDeleteAlways a joy to visit... I'm a tad behind.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the season must be beautiful there...
I also like that tip about the pasta. Lemon is good for many things. Did you ever write with lemon disappearing ink ;)
