Ships or boats, I love them. Your artwork is great!
ReplyDeleteThis is much fun. Great sketch. The sailboats are a sight to behold!
ReplyDelete(ツ) from Cottage Country Ontario , ON, Canada!
what really wonderful pleasures to live near the water with views of the boats and ships....
ReplyDeleteFunny how Churchill's room reminds me so much of my great grandmother's. Delightful etegame art Carol! happy week and hug to Zoe too:)
Your harbor is such a pretty picture with all those sailboats. Happy Summer, Carol. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent shots, I love sailing!
ReplyDeleteCape Ann looks beautiful in summer, Carol. Your drawings are always charming. I would like to visit the Churchill exhibit one day!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series of images.
ReplyDeleteI love the boats and the bug is very pretty. Have a wonderful week, Carol. Give a big hug to Zoe from me. :-)

ReplyDeleteAs always, I enjoy my visit to your page! We live in such similar environs on each side of the 'pond'. As a great shipping enthusiast, it is a huge pleasure to see your water craft shots - this article may be of interest... as for your 'bug', it is a <a href="http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Reticulated-Netwinged-Beetle"rel="nofollow+><b>Reticulated Netwing Beetle</b></a>. Have a super week! YAM xx
Beautiful photos. I especially love the one for good fence!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm not familiar with the difference between boat and ship...when it comes to schooner, I have no idea :-)
Love the sketches - reminded me of when I was a kid and flied kite. Have a great week!
I love boats,eh...,
ReplyDeleteThe boats look beautiful out on the blue water! It's summer time hot here but nice and green outside. Enjoy your day sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI love the etegami you are making. Your little Japanese characters go well with the words. You mentioning your son correcting you regarding the 'ship' reminds me of a time I called my brother's ship a boat. ha... I will never forget his reaction. "BOAT! THIS IS NOT A BOAT..." so I got my lesson.
ReplyDeleteLots of "boats" and so lovely summer aspects & sketches! Greetings!
ReplyDeletenice photos :)
ReplyDeleteI was told the difference between a ship and a boat is a boat can go on a ship but a ship wont go on a boat. but then a submarine is a boat even tho most couldn't be carriedd by a ship :p
Thanks, Jennifer ~ think I have heard something like that ~ My son would be proud of you ~ xox
DeleteWe have been having some of those reddish bugs in our Backyard too. Don't know what they are either.
ReplyDeleteLovely choice for this weeks letter and beautiful photo's too.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice ABC-W-day / - week

loving your photos...and the artwork is so so adorable.....hope you have some of them hanging on your wall....
ReplyDeleteOh nice shots once again. Hope your week is going by smoothly.
ReplyDeleteMy ABC WEDNESDAY
Looks like you had a breezy week, I love the sound of the wind rattling through the rigging of yachts.
ReplyDeleteanother week of wonderful things to see and i love your etagami which i looked up and now understand how to do them..which i might some day.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of this art!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
wonderful photos...i love the rain one!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! Prefect shots of summer on Cape Ann! even some rain doesn't dampen the great views you have!
ReplyDeleteYour art journal pages are wonderful!
Best wishes
i like your kite flyers. and your bug. sweet rainy-day scene and lovely sailboats!
ReplyDeleteSummer looks beautiful and your etagame and haiku are wonderful. i love the kites. Even the bugs on Cape Ann are beautiful! On your "B" post -- there are boats and there are boats -- the ones you show are way different from the one we have -- and yet, my 'mariner" husband gets as exasperated as your son when I use landlubber vocabulary -- like saying "drive the boat" or "do you want me to throw you the string to tie it" ... he makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteB for Boat..Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely harbour photos
ReplyDeleteGREAT PHOTOS!!!! Love the art journal pages also ♥ Have a great weekend !!!
ReplyDeleteAh, buggy looks familiar. I think we have one of every bug in the world in Florida! Send the pic to your local county extension agent and he/she will tell you. Awesome post, as always. xo
ReplyDeletelovely etegami for PPF! A kite gives such a sense of freedom. Nice to see your photo below.

ReplyDeleteThose are all great pics, Carol.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Person above is right about Reticulated Net-winged Beetle.

Lovely haiku and I very much liked the kite painting.
ReplyDeleteWish I could see the entirety of your artistic journal. It looks cool!
ReplyDeleteAlso loved the haiku, and the sailboats.
Einstein's quote resonates, too.
I always love the drawings.
ReplyDeleteFun sketches. Love the sailboats. I have no idea what kind of bug ... you can keep it! Hugs to you and pup......
ReplyDeleteSailboats on the water - so pretty!
ReplyDeletebluest blue and little sweetheart
ReplyDeleteSplendid images of the sailing vessel!
ReplyDelete"clarity is in hiding"
ReplyDeleteI feel a lot like that these days!
Lovely photos and sweet sketches too!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
It is a rather elegant bug, but one I'd rather have on the outside, no matter how gorgeous looking it is! I'm happy to see the ships (boats) come sailing by in your summer days, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWren x
nothing better than being out on the water on a fine day - love it!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the conversations that must have been had on that phone?!?
ReplyDeleteLove your etegami kite series, they give a sense of freedom and happiness.
ReplyDeleteCarol....I ADORE these etegami. I cannot wait for you to see mine and see if there is any improvement. I am really plugging at it and having a wonderful time. My cold press Fluid watercolor block arrived and it is the best. Don't think it is a heavy flow paper. The schooner picture reminds me of going out on a tall ship at Provincetown Mass. It is beautiful. Letter on the way today. Happy week to you. genie
ReplyDeleteYour photos are wonderful as is your haiku. The kite flying art is so sweet and free.
ReplyDeleteNice Rainy Day fence shot. - I want to sail on one of those Scooners, they look awesome. - Cool looking bug.
ReplyDeleteYour etegamis are beautiful. I have no idea what etegamis are, but now I am determined to find out.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful variety of images. Lovely work on the etegami cards!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! :)
I appreciate the way your present your weeks images- have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat sail-boat looks very peaceful, I could do with a week on it!
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M - Melbourne

ReplyDeleteI just adore your flying kite illustrations, Carol. So darn cute! :) Wonderful sailboat photos as well. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the schooner! So stately and elegant.
ReplyDeleteHello, awesome views and photos. I love Schooners and your wonderful artwork. I wish I could help with the insect id. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku. I needed this! Beautiful pictures as always. :)
