  14. Such pretty photos - I love the beach. I wonder how my dogs would react on a beach, they've never been within a thousand miles of one!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I can almost smell the briny sea as I look at your photos of the shore, Carol. I love lobster and would eat it every day if I could! Unfortunately I pay a high price for it here and can;t indulge as much as I like.

    ReplyDelete
  16. oh I wonder what sort of fish the birds were trying to get?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Love the photo of the fisherman at work :-)

  21. Lovely pics! I can see why any dog would be interested in crawly things in the water--LOL!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Concerts are fun for the mind, and solitude is beautiful for the soul. Mr. A.M. Dog is having a wonderful time checking out the critters, it seems. Sweet photo.

    ReplyDelete
  35. As always, your water shots make me want to murmur "peace be with you".

    ReplyDelete
  36. One of the things that moves me the most of your posts throughout the seasons Carol is the shift in colors... today's theme for me is the vivid blues... your haiku pulled at my heart... thank you for these gifts! Have a great weekend exploring with your sweet muse!

  39. Hope your eyes are feeling better, Carol. Staying off the computer is a good idea. I think my eyes have gone too dry because I look at the screen much too much.

    ReplyDelete

  44. I adore your sweet dog, such a nose for finding treasures! I try not to envy your locale, but it's hard since I'd love to live by water of any kind. thank you for sharing this series of wonderful images.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Lovely beach view - the shadows add a nice character to the mound - I can imagine really big rocks...or sand dunes...or even whales. A rocky shore adds such imagination and style to any landscape!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  47. love tues/wed's scene and that last shot, too!

  49. I used to go through those tide pools just as fascinated as ArtMuseDog.

    In fact, I probably will again someday, when I get the chance.

  50. Hello Carol, thank you for visiting. All you images are so lovely. Your little dog is so cute and adorable. I guess most dogs will be amused by the finds on the beaches.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Every one of us watches while being watched.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  55. aaaaw, dear little art dog!! Love your photos - what a wonderful paradise to be in. Your yellow flowers are soft and delicate - hope your healing continues well.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm sure the shadows in your shot are as ready for autumn as I am!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Nice ocean, a 'little' boat with a sprinkling of birds.
    Can't let that imagination die - Langston is right.
    Sometimes digging deeper is also necessary irrespective of what species one is.
    It too is driven by imagination in some sense, I reckon.
    Have a Great Week!
    Peace :)

  58. Wonderful week. So glad the beach is open for Muse Dog to explore. I'm with her .. I too love to explore tide pools. ( Perhaps not for the same reasons).
