A SHUTTERBUG EXPLORES ~ 7

'He is richest who is content with the least, for content
is the wealth of nature.'
~ Socrates




A Shutterbug is exploring Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant as always. We do look for 'the magic' and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. What a gift. What treasures nature offers to each of us.


We start our 'blogland' week on late Monday afternoon for Tuesday and then add a post each day. Hope you will make a return visit and share with us.

    That's a very pretty pond. We just moved and had literally hundreds of children on Halloween, we obviously moved into a neighborhood where kids are dropped off for trick-or-treating. The dogs weren't happy!

    Hi Carol ~~ Your pictures are extra pretty this week, if that is possible. Always they are nice. Young is a nice state to be in. I can't see why Art is complaining. She has such a pretty place to be. Unless maybe the lobster netting smells of fishy water?
