We are wishing you the best in 2017. ^_^
Your posted comments add delight our day. thanks ^_^
Happy New Year, Carol. Wishing you all the best. By the way, LOVE the little angel.
ReplyDeleteZoe and I have the same idea...sleep. Difficult to sleep when the weather is so warm. I feel like I need to keep moving to enjoy all the warmer weather. I am almost looking forward to the cold so I can hole up and rest. The sky photos are arresting. I could sit there and watch clouds swirl and move. Wonderful drawings. Happy New Year.
ReplyDelete"heart light shining through" -your photos , art and words always show it Carol. Love your thank you illustration as wel as your peaceful angel. Good thing i don't live near as I would be too tempted to have Zoe for myself. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove your Friday Haiku! And I need to get a post ready to link with good fences again! Happy New year sweet friend. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWell, two bonus views of your puppy, great skies, a Christmas tree in a boat, and more. Happy New Year to you!!
ReplyDeleteSome excellent skies and of course Zoe is always adorable. Have a wonderful 2017!
ReplyDeleteCute Zoe, especially when sleeping! Lovely sky shots and I like your cute Sunday sketch!

Your skies shots are astounding! And, Louisa May Alcott's quote just fits in with the great photos. I so enjoyed all of your photos today, the Christmas tree in a boat, fences and, the shadow shot. Happy New Year, Carol.

Nice skies, we have been having subtle pink sunsets which I think you would enjoy with your watercolours. Love the thank you card, and the original model of course.
ReplyDeleteYour sky shots are so pretty. Some nice fences (cute tree floating in the boat), lovely shadows and adorable Zoe. So much fun to stop in an see what's happening in your neck of the world.
ReplyDeleteJust to answer your question about my fence today. Yes the wood on the fence is a soft rose colored pink with a dark grey flower.
ReplyDeleteZoe is the perfect Z word. The drawing of her and the flower is very darling. My heart smiles seeing it. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat sky shots.
ReplyDeletePuppy looks freshly shorn! Quite dapper!
ReplyDeleteWonderful set of images.
ReplyDeletelovely sky colours - hope you've had a good week :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a dramatic sky!! Happy 2017 to you!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteAwesome series for the week and you took wonderful shots from your harbour town! Love you cute Zoe and the little x-mas tree in boat. Amazing skies
ReplyDeleteWish you have a fantastic year ahead and peace
Carol, I love the view across Cape Ann. You have so many wonderful photo contributions for each day of the week associated with its meme. I really need to investigate some of these to join in but it seems I'm already stretched a bit thin. :) The thank you note card is just adorable! BTW, you'll now find my SWF contributions now on Thursdays, here, and of course, if you want to some more laughs you can check out Friday Sillies. Have a blessed, happy new year, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLovely series, never seen a Christmas tree in a small boat before...
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year from Germany
Hello carol, I love your sweet Zoe. Beautiful sky captures. I like the Christmas tree boat. I always enjoy your sketches, you are talented. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and artmusedog.
ReplyDeleteI can never get enough images of Zoe... your skies this week are spectacular and your haiku dear Carol speaks right to the heart of all that matters... have a beautiful and warm cozy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet angel and delightful card. Zoe is a beauty by any name!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that Christmas tree in a boat. How adorable is that. I know you are going to get some snow before too long. Perhaps Ms. A.M. Dog would be interested in the extra dog bed I have...in Florida.....for the winter? Drat! I knew you would say no. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteLovely angel for PPF!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Carol and Art Muse dog, Zoe! You have such spectacular skies over Cape Ann--such beautiful changing weather and cloud formations. Are you getting snow today? Love your angel and thank you card artwork ans sleeping pal---so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the shadows along the fence, shadows that take me right back to summer!
ReplyDeleteHello, It is always nice to see your sweet Zoe. Adorable puppy dog! Wonderful photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your photos this week. You have such a great eye for detail ♥ Loving the puppy ♥♥♥♥ My little Yorkie has become the love of my life but we won't tell the hubby that yet :) Great art today too... Angels are always awesome.
ReplyDeleteLuv that Sunday Sketches Card best of all
ReplyDeleteHappy you dropped by my blog this week
much love...
Happy New Year, Carol! Zoe is so right: to much festive moments, so she must rest and sleep awhile.(*_*) The quote is wonderful: "...higher aspirations.
ReplyDeleteI may not reach them but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."
Also, incredible and dramatic winter skies; wonderful pictures! At the beginning of the year we had blue skies, too. Now, we have lots of snow, finally after so many time...
Best regards in January and a very lovely weekend to you!
Such incredible photos of the gorgeous sky!
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas tree on a boat. Looks like it was enjoying a little ride :-)
Magnificent skies and little Zoe is such a pretty little girl. Love the shadowy walkway in black and white.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Zoe is making me a bit sleepy in that last one.
ReplyDeleteLittle Zoe is adorable! Your skyscape is amazing!! Happy PPF :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images today. I especially loved the first one and what a cutie Zoe is!! Enjoy your Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome skies indeed Carol. Seriously good photos.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and Zoe a Happy New Year from over here in England.
That is such a sweet card for SS, perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas card design with cute little Zoe as your focal point. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots, so very dramatic, and your thank you card is adorable, and so is the model.
ReplyDeletesweet angel and SS. Your haiku is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteLove that thank you card! wishing you a good 2017.
ReplyDeleteArt Muse Dog -- or Zoe (I guess I should call her by her real name, since she was the star for your "Z" post) looks wonderful in her Christmas bow. And as the subject for your note card! and even in her sleep. She can't take a bad picture (or pose for one).
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
thank you carol! your haiku is so descriptive of my week, which explains in part my late arrival! xo
