ReplyDeleteHehehe Zoe's expression says it all!!! Again I leave, refreshed. Blessings, YAM xx
Carol, that first shot is just awesome, let alone that you got SNOW!!!!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteSome very atmospheric captures here Carol! Thank you and Zoe for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat sky looks full of menace but the snowy scenes are like Christmas cards. Have a good week despite the cold.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of subjects is delightful. A beautiful range of colors and subjects, Carol...Zoe being the best subject, of course.

It looks like a perfect day to stay inside and snuggle. Love seeing your first snow and the angel watercolor! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteNice shots - I always enjoy seeing snow and your little snuggler. We're supposed to get some real (below zero) cold this week, our first of the season.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol. I came back. Your blog is so inspiring. We all have something creative about us, I believe. Sometimes lack of confidence keeps us from bringing out the creativity we possess. Your Cape Ann photography is just amazing! I live in Texas, and, I am trying to get myself out there on day trips to capture more of the beauty I know Texas has!
ReplyDeleteI browsed through your blog a bit, and was amazed by some of the other bloggers who shared their posts. ABC Wednesday did strike an interest in me to look into the play "Under Milkwood". I don't think I ever heard of it.
I'd best quit rambling on now, and get busy. I design greeting cards, and love to make bookmarks and other printed items at home for gifts. Christmas is a busy and artful time of year. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos, and sketches. Have a wonderful week.
Suzanne I can only find a link to your Google+ blog ~ do you have another one?
DeleteHi Carol. My original blog is http://kardkornerkrib.blogspot.com Have a great day!
DeleteWonderful photo captures of the light in the sky - and on the water in the first photo. Zoe is definitely the best for last!
ReplyDeleteI love your images of sea and sky, and the birds, and especially your little puppy dog.
ReplyDeleteNice series of images.
ReplyDeleteI always love the first snow. It has been fun seeing all the "first Snows" from the northern latitudes this week. I hope you and your little Muse are able to enjoy it too. Love seeing the Juncos when they arrive. We even have a couple of Red-breasted Nuthatches this year. They seem to be wintering with us. Last year none came this far south so it is a real treat. We might get a spitting of snow here tonight. We will see. Love your sketches. I have never done anything with the wax. It always intrigues me when I see it has been used. It gives things a lovely look. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, artsy captures!!! our juno's have not shown up yet, but will be here soon for sure. they always look so pretty in the snow!!!
ReplyDeleteHi! Your sketch is very lovely. I enjoyed your Haiku very much. The bird looks very cold. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots. I like that first scene.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of gorgeous sky! And snowy sceneries. Beautiful! Zoe had a good idea to snuggle in :-)
ReplyDeleteStay warm and have a great week!
Lovely pictures. We do not have snow, yet! I love you, Zoe! :)

A big kiss for little Zoe. Your sketches and watercolors are so fun and lively. Some pretty ominous clouds your way. Very cool photos, love the lone bird on the railing.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky captures. And Zoe looks so happy and content, made me smile!!
ReplyDeleteOh you have snow already; I hope the birdie doesn't get frozen.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Alexandra is a cutie! I also like your angel. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe received some snow this week, too, Carol! I was so glad--everything looks prettier covered with snow! I love to feed the birds in winter but the squirrels here eat more seed than the birds do
ReplyDeleteOverwhelmed by the variety..pictures, art, poetry, quotes, birds and animals:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight going through your post, Carol:) Thank you for this amazing bouquet:):)
Wonderful shots! I really love the skies and envy you the snow.

ReplyDeleteHello, pretty sky images. The artwork is always beautiful. I like the cute junco. Sweet shot of Zoe. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Carol! It must be so nice now, that first snow came; i'm still waiting. :) And your cloudy skies are amazing, such dramatic landscapes. As always, inspired lyrics and quotes, among delicate drawings. Little Zoe is cosy at warm.
ReplyDeleteBest regards and a very lovely weekend! Alexa
lovely angel for PPF!
ReplyDeleteNice series of photos
ReplyDeleteHello dear Carol! I don't know if you know, your haiku link is on yesterday's post! I went looking for you when you didn't show up on the 9th! Love those love waves and the solace our lady the sea brings... Those purple mittens are so cute and I want to be curled up with Zoe in that cozy place! Stay warm and have a wonderful weekend! XO
ReplyDeleteOur lady the sea, a wonderful haiku.
ReplyDeleteNamaste.
Oh I love that little birdie photo and your angel painting is beautiful! Sweet Zoe too...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little angel!
ReplyDeleteThe sea can be a cruel mistress or the kindest of lovers. May she always be the latter to you!
ReplyDeleteFun visit -- lots to look at!
ReplyDeleteI love your Alexandra sketch, and I still love your little Zoe. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have visited Cape Ann as you posted for each of the blogs you participate in. It's even overcast in Los Angeles.

ReplyDeleteHello Carol!:) It's the time of year for snow, except here in Portugal it's warm and sunny. I like all your captures,...the moody winter skies, the bird, the cute figures in your sketches, and especially sweet Zoe.:)

ReplyDeleteI love the sweetness of this whole post...it makes me so happy! The art, birds and ZOE....all adorable!
ReplyDeleteHugs Giggles
I'm with Miss Zoey ..l I'd be snuggled up in that blanket to in your weather. But I'm glad you braved the elements to take your beautiful sky pictures. And I love your intrepid little pigtailed mittened girl ... she won't let Winter scare her that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, it's looking chilly with you - sending you some Aussie warmth it's 31 degrees right now here in Melbourne! Art Muse dog looks like she has life sussed, snuggled up with her blanket!
ReplyDeleteHappy Days!

Lovely photos! I like your haiku very much. Hi to Zoe!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast between the snow and the red flowers. Very beautiful. Adore your angel and had to chuckle at your sketchbook drawing. I smiled ear to ear. Thank you. x
ReplyDeleteNothing like the first snow of the season. The poor flowers do not look happy. Love the junco!
