Weekend Through the Lens 49



'A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.'
~ Phyllis Diller





We are linked with these creative bloggers:






Before the 'melt' ~ this enormous icicle greeted us each day on Cape Ann MA
when we came outside to enjoy one of our daily strolls.





A 'Haiga' for Carpe Diem Haiku








A 'scenic' shot of the breakwater in the distance and our feathered friends on deck on
Cape Ann MA ~ All looking for signs of Spring to arrive ~ ever so slowly.





We had one day in the 50's (f ) on Cape Ann MA this week  and these two doves were sunning themselves on the deck.




'ArtMuse Dog' attentive as ever and probably wondering is that more snow coming?????








A ray of sunshine through the wintry trees and snow ~ A sign of hope for Spring.


Another cloudy day and this time rain on Cape Ann MA ~ a sketch with pen and w/c.





We are wishing you the best for the weekend. xo

    Hello greetings and good wishes.

    Lovely photos.

    Fantastic quote. Smile not only uplifts our spirits and make us feel happy but also makes others cheerful. Very few people will not respond to a smile. Smile is an antidote many things. Smile will lighten our burdens, difficulties, failings and sadness. The best thing that we can give to another person is a smile.

    Best wishes
