~ Weekend 41 ~ Through the Lens

Through the Lens Weekend 41


'What is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter
 to give it sweetness.' ~ John Steinbeck


Sharing with several blogs this weekend: 





Snow on Cape Ann MA ~ Is it almost Spring? ~ Not to 'rush things' ~ 



Haiku ~ prompt ~ 'lost in the mist'




My 'assistant' on Cape Ann MA ~ perhaps, wondering 'what that gadget is that
I am pointing in her face' ~ always seems wondrous of the gadgets.





Guess 'who came to dine' on Cape Ann MA ~ 





Another wintry scene on Cape Ann MA ~ to paraphrase a great poet,
'if winter is here can Spring be far behind?' Who wrote that?






Watercolor Sketch exploring with whatever I found in the house to sketch. Seems to help keep
my 'hand' in sketching. I basically just sketch with a w/c brush and paints.


We are wishing you the best in each day. xoxox

Your posted comments are gems to us. Thanks.

    The snow and bare boughs in the first photo are magical. And love the icyc shapes creeping across the water world. Your little dog is always a treasure.
