PS. How about a little bribe to Art Muse, so she poses? :)
Oh I love the stone wall and the gate/door. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
I hope you get better soon. Great post - your opening quote is very true and yet as a society we pretend it isn't true.
ReplyDeleteFlowers definitely want to bloom and are having a hard time in some places. Love the arched gateway - and your looney birds!
ReplyDeleteLittle one looking cute as always!
Enjoy your week,
Ruby
Such a mysterious sky with that veiled sun.

gorgeous photos -but poor Zoe-yes, she does look like she just wants to be left alone:):) Fab illustration of the Easter basket. Sorry to hear you are not well. Sending thoughts and wishes to be well again!
ReplyDeleteThat gate photo makes me wish I could see the garden behind that fence and gate. It looks like a dream. Love your haiku. It sure describes spring here. I hope your medical problems are cured soon.
ReplyDeleteThe first shot looks like my hometown. And the door is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI can eat ice cream all year around but it has to be inside in winter. Beautiful moon shots and I think your looney birds are cute. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteShe's adorable even when she doesn't want to pose for you. I love the loony birds. Have a great week, Carol!

ReplyDeleteA lovely quote from Chief Seattle, such wise words and a lovely haiku also. Beautiful photos. The moon shot at twilight is stunning and your other moon shot is amazing, love the soft light. Your Loony Birds are so cute and that old stone gate, goodness, I wonder if it has one of those lovely old stone homes to match on the other side. It really is lovely!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful capture of full moon! May spring be there soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, the flowers will get their chance to bloom soon--soon!
ReplyDeleteMay Spring blooms start finding you everywhere dear Carol! I was captured by all of your photos, wanting to walk through that gate beneath the full moon, and touch that pastel night sky! Hope all is well and that your time opens up for more of what delights your heart. XO
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, be well! I hope the medical problems are getting solved.
ReplyDeleteAMD is cute shutting her eyes against that intrusive camera lens. (She looks so cute in pictures, I don't know why she's camera shy!)
Spring certainly is coming to your area (eventually) ... at least the ice cream store owner thinks so ;>)!
Your skies and shores are always beautiful in any season, although I'm sure you do get tired of winter.
Sending thoughts of beautiful blooms your way. Happy Spring.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to visit Cape Ann this Spring. I enjoyed your blog so much for several years now. Nice job again.
