Your posted comments are a treasure to us. Thanks.
Simply wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how a few well-placed lines can result in a grasshopper with personality! I do remember David Carradine and the wonderful series and try not to think of his dramatic end.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol, wonderful views of Cape Ann. Great shadow shot and a cute shot of the dove. Your furbaby is always looking adorable. I look forward to seeing your etegami artwork, love the grasshopper and the journey home. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteYou have done well, Grasshopper... (I LOVED that show!!!)... keeping it simple is one of my mottos also. The twilight shot is lovely... Have a super week. YAM xx
I love your sketches always, and your puppy dog and the big ship and the sailboat. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSome beautiful water scenes, and, as always your lovely pooch. Happy week ahead. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos. I don't remember the show, but the grasshopper quote is part of popular culture. My martial arts instructor uses it regularly, and I even hear it in the office!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of images.
ReplyDeleteI love it when I see boats out there on the water enjoying the scenery :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful views of Cape Ann !!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos !!
Greetings
A nice twilight picture Carol. Love the peek-a-boo too.
ReplyDeleteThe temperature in your country is abaout the same as overhere: hot, oppressive,tiring and not inspiring. But you have been very creative!! I enjoyed seeing your photos.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and fascinating photos, as always. I love your haiku - the sea is a great teacher when we take time to be still.
ReplyDeleteThank you and enjoy your week,
Ruby
I love the twilight view of Cape Ann MA! How nice you got a dove visitor. There are dove couples coming by our backyard area frequently. They are very cute :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new week!
What a fun shadow shot and amazing sailboats! Makes me want to get away...to the sea! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your beautiful photos ♥ I dream of living by the ocean but know that I never will unless my kids and their families move there. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week!
I'm sorry that the heat and humidity limits your time outside to take photos. Just got back from a weeklong visit to Florida and I know the feeling.
ReplyDeleteMy ABC WEDNESDAY
Love that twilight photo. I thought I recognized the grasshopper quote but needed your info to remind me of that great series.
ReplyDeleteA delightful way to sail.
ReplyDeletelol peek-a-boo pups! :)
ReplyDeleteA fine boat for fair weather sailing. The grasshoppers are in fine 'song' at the moment. One of my favourite sounds of summer.

ReplyDeleteyour simple is so elegant!!!! that's a fine sea wall there!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat week of photos!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol!:) Love your Cape Ann seascapes and vessels, and the necessary seawall barrier is a good choice for Good Fences. I remember the quote, and used to watch the series "Kung Fu" on TV with the kids when they were young. Gosh that was a long time ago!:) Nice peek a boo, and Turtle Dove shots. Lovely Post!:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a special visit all week from the dove! I always love seeing your views over the sea with boats.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to you both!
love the seawall and the dove, too. nice nighttime sea shot.
ReplyDeleteI love the seawall and the shadow :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful series! Love the sketch too.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see and visit old familiar faces from the Haiku circle... I haven't joined for ages and I feel at home right away! I moved houses and live near the sea (North sea) now, so your haiku today speaks even more to me! The sketches are great too (yes, I remember Kung Fu, one of my fave series when I was young!) Have a great weekend, hug from Holland
ReplyDeletenice grasshopper for PPF! I do vaguely remember that series.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Carol... so much to soak up here... the quote by my favorite author... yes, I loved the kung fu series, and you are doing well grasshopper! As I read your haiku, I could hear those waves!!!! Love all your photos, critters especially, and your etagami... have a lovely weekend and I hope it cools for you! XO
ReplyDeleteChange is necessary. Lovely haiku, Carol.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful week's share Carol. Your etegami are inspiring, I need to research this form and then try it
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
much love...
Oh, the smooth lines of you work, especially that grasshopper!
ReplyDeleteI hope all the tidings you receive today are only good!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos as always dear Carol. Great haiku as well. We all need to learn to roll with the changes.
ReplyDeleteAfter all these years, I still haven't got it through my head that the only constant in this world is change!
ReplyDeleteAdmiring the truth in your haiku. Lovely pictures! Specially liked that seawall. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos. You were a brave woman to be out in that heat and humidity we had (I'm writing from NH). Looks like the perfect place to be in summer. :) Happy PPF-Erika
ReplyDeleteI always try to find a favorite but you have outdone yourself this time and I cannot choose, although the dove came close.
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! You do live in a gorgeous place. I love the shot of your sweet pup and the pretty dove! Pretty haiku and view of the water. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful week you had,beautiful shots,I always wonder if the dove lost her mate when they coo like that,they mate forever,I have seen them standing along the road cooing with their mate dead on the highway,hopefully hers was alive nearby,have a great weekend,phyllis
ReplyDeleteYour favourite critter is one of my favourite critters too, love your little dog. Great images and lovely paintings!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend :)
your haiku and ocean wave photograph speak straight to my heart. thank you carol for always offering a safe harbor of love and light.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to visit your lovely photos and adorable doggy! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
You are a talented photographer! A joy to visit you via Sat.'s Critters.
ReplyDeletelove all your images
ReplyDeleteLovely journey theme for Sunday Sketches today!
ReplyDeleteI smell the Atlantic salt in your wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteYour etegamis are lovely and your haiku is wonderful as well. I enjoy seeing your photos very much as well.
ReplyDeleteThat water and the beautiful tall ship are divine. Still, I remember my ride on one while in Provincetown one summer. It was such a thrill. Your dove looks so happy on his perch and that shadow...it is amazing. Loved seeing Zoe again, and your etegamis this week are great. You have mastered the "simplicity rule" where I still have a long ways to go. My one of Bud's AT boots that now hold flowers is going to get made into a picture and framed for his room. Those boots lasted 10 years of hiking to finish the trail. Have a nice week. Hugs...genie
ReplyDeleteI really like the Seawall, Also the pretty dove on the fence and the Sail Boat. - A very nice and enjoyable post.
ReplyDeleteYOU have done well Carol!! Your etagamis fascinate me; I just love the simplicity and this haiku speaks to me (I want to frame it or put it on the cover of a journal). Enjoy the rest of your beautiful summer and hope your favorite critter (whom we all love) gets used to the new arrangement of her home.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, Carol! I love all the pics, especially the grasshopper. I used to love watching the Kung Fu series so many years ago. :)
ReplyDeleteYour shadow shot cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteI love listening to the waves against the shore. Your journal pages are wonderful.
