A Shutterbug explores the surrounding areas of Cape Ann MA each week with her camera and her assistant. We do look for 'the magic'and sometimes it appears when we are seemingly not looking. What a gift! What treasures nature offers!

Happy Spring to you and the AM pup! Beautiful light, beautiful shadows. Happy dogs. Talent shining in your haiku and art ... And we fell in absolute love with New En glands stone walls and fences on our travels.... So I loved that picture!
ReplyDeletesuper photos! I want to go to the beach too! Artmuse dog's friend looks like a Coton de Tulear-cute. I guess by your haiku you got a bit of snow for Spring? We got really lucky and missed out this time:) Beautiful sketch too. Have a great week Carol!
ReplyDeleteLove the piece of world from your journal...So great to have such beautiful sunsets and to see a pigeon to the shore!! Spring has arrived with joy and creativity in your post! Best regards and a gorgeous first week of Spring!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty skies, and I love that stone wall. I don't think ArtMuseDog is paying much attention to her new friend :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see the magic (specially on those pink sunsets and in the eyes of that beautiful dog). Have a happy and blessed week!
ReplyDeleteWhat are those beautiful light swirls? And I love your shadow shot.
ReplyDeleteWonderful images!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of images. Nice variety.

Hello, happy spring to you! I love the sunsets, gorgeous. ArtMuse and friends are both adorable furbabies. Pretty sketch! Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring to you and the pup. May your snowflakes be few and your golden sunsets be many!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that Artmusedog has a new friend. Is a spring romance in the air?
ReplyDeleteI saw a beautiful moon set this morning. The moon was reflecting some of the golden sunlight that was trying to gather in the sky. A sight I won't soon forget. Your little Art Muse looked so sweet standing there with her new friend. A cute couple. Your art page is very uplifting. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower. Enjoy be cyber friends weekly. It's the BEST!

Oh how I love your sunset photos. Beautiful haiku and sweet drawing too! What a cute friend for artmuse!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots! We have spring snow here too.
ReplyDeleteI love that you faithfully keep a journal, Carol. I can see you write as well as sketch. I often began one but never seem to keep up with it. I enjoyed the pink light of the sunsets and the strong stone wall. Art Muse dog's new friend is a cutie! Have a wonderful week, my friend.
ReplyDeletethe photo of the green fence and the stones is quite catching - I like it :-)
ReplyDeleteThat bird's a regular Leo DeCaprio!

"King of my hill", so funny, suits the typical pushy gull personality.

ReplyDeleteA lovely array pf photos for the week!
ReplyDeleteHappy days your spring is arriving - that would make me want to have lots of love hearts in my journal too!

Hi Carol, I didn't know how to contact you other than here so... here is a link http://writersalmanac.org/episodes/20160322/ This poem reminded me of you and your sweet little muse. I don't know if it would interest you but since you can't read a lot at A Writer's Almanac Garrison Keilor reads poems almost daily. You could just listen to what he reads. Namaste.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol for showing us around your place this week.
ReplyDeleteI love the seagull image!
The new friend does looks cute.....and very shining clean and white.
Happy Easter!
Ruby
A wonderful selection of photos again ! My, but those skies were on fire? Lovely to meet new friends on a walk!
ReplyDeleteThe stonewall is wonderful & so permanent looking!
Have a happy Easter!
I think my favorite this week, Carol, is the simple composition of the gull and the special rainbow effect just makes it dazzling.
ReplyDeleteHoi Carol,
ReplyDeleteTruly a beautiful series of dawn and the shadows of the sun. Beautiful port on Thursday, a stunning spell on Friday, a stunning skyline on Tuesday and cute dogs :-)
Greetings, Helma
Another delightful post.
ReplyDeleteYou have lovely sunsets there.
Fun shot of the gull
Awesome color for the gate and the stone wall is super neat.
Enjoyed your Haiku and your art. Both are perfect for spring.
Both those dogs are little cuties.
Love the stone fence and your artist's journal. Those dogs make a cute pair, too!
ReplyDelete=)
Carol, you've had a wonderful week with beauty on each day!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to share these moments with your faithful friend and discovering joy together!

I love the stone wall and the green gate. Have a HAPPY EASTER.
ReplyDeleteI love that stone wall too...perfect for good fences! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful sky shots! Have a Happy Easter!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful variety of beautiful photographs from your part of the country. Namaste to you, Carol, as I soon head back to India for a five month stay. Since my 21 year nursing position was chopped, along with several hundred city/county of San Francisco nurses in 2009, I can't afford San Francisco full time. I love travel, though, at 71, it's not as easy as in my youth.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I love all the photos. Everyone of them has its own beauty!
ReplyDeleteDelightful as always. The sunset is just exquisite! Happy Easter to you!!!
ReplyDeleteWowzer! That gull shot is awesome! Did you add those rainbow colors and sparkles? Beautiful shot. Now that Ms. A.M. Dog has a gorgeous new friend, will she still love all of us too? :)
ReplyDeleteahhh, early Spring, that confused time of year.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! Oh these colors popping through your grey, despite snow, I am glad there is some color to grace your world and your keen camera eye! Wishing you and little Zoe a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the joy and fun smiling from your sketch. It has me thinking of being 5 years old. :-) Your sunset reminds of the snow on the Sierras in California.
ReplyDeleteWhen Spring finally arrives so does the snow. May you enjoy it while it lasts.
ReplyDeleteSpring with snowflakes! I used to live in Denver, so I know how that can be. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
