A Shutterbug explores the surrounding area of Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant, most times.
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.
With winter coming ~ we made need to be a bit more creative with indoor photos as well.
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.
'Look at everything as though you are seeing it
for the first time, with the eyes of a child,
fresh with wonder.'

Happy and Healthy New Year to all ~ xox

Yonder bright is a very lovely photo! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful photos ... Weather seems very strange in a lot of places this year, I think you are probably exactly right on the reason. Smiling at your 'across the pond' meme references. Between being retired and posting Tuesday memes on Monday (etc) half the time I'm not sure what day it is ;)))
ReplyDeleteThe magic of the season is shown in your home.

Beautiful lights and lovely seascape, but Artmusedog is truly adorable. What a sweetie. Happy New Year's to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteArt never ceasing his warming of hearts, does she not? Just thinking of my Adi girl, now gone three years, still warms me. Same in a lessor way, our Katrin.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work with the snow pictures. We don't hardly ever, maybe once in ten years, have any snow.
..
That's yuletide house!

ReplyDeleteLoved the whole series, but Art Muse Pup stole the show ... recuperating from the holiday activities! :) Happy Critter Day and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of shots. The house is pretty with all the lights I could live there. (in summer) I'm sure it's cold now! My poor puppy gets startled when I wake her up she doesn't hear me. Thanks for coming by Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHello, your favorite critter is adorable. Lovely collection of images.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Cheers, Carol, to our new adventure around the sun! I like the idea of having a New Year's gate. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe View from the Top of the Ladder
Lovely sky shots! And I like that critter!
ReplyDeleteCute Doggy. Amazing sunsets & I really like that Gate & stone wall entrance. I wanna gate like that. And the last photo with the sun reflecting on the ocean is magnificent
ReplyDeleteI do love your puppy! I have a coat for him. My Daisy won't wear it! We're expecting -18 C. tonight!
ReplyDeleteI love these photos and the idea of sharing a photo each day. Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter sky and "critter" :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Lizzie and Mulligan warm our hearts every day as well! Lizzie even kisses me "good night" just before I turn off the light, and the two of them make themselves comfortable between us. I love that photo!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the gate picture ... Perfect symbolism for the New Year. And the later pictures of Art Muse (since I was here the first time) are truly heart- warming. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh, you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful, rich tapestry you share!
I think my favorite was the picture of the Christmas tree of hope and poem!
Thank you for linking and warming so many hearts.
XOXO
