SL-WEEK 10: Windows

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

“I would often see windows that looked to me like they weren’t real – almost like a painting on a wall instead of a window. I thought it was kind of a cool idea” David Allee

SL-WEEK 10: Windows

Miles high up in the air
The small window the only glare
The far away lands calling
Into sweet dreams lulling
The view from the home window
Soon a fading memory of tomorrow

DAILY POST PHOTO CHALLENGE

“Connecting people” the artist formerly known as Nokia

Connected

“This week, show us how two (or more) things — people, objects, places — come together.”

Separated by four thousand kilometres
Different countries, cultures and philosophers
But wherever there is a need for commerce
People are surely coming together in a market place

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – THE SIGN

Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 9

“If you were waiting for a sign, this is it”

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – THE SIGN

Whether looking for a wine tasting
Or a payphone to call back home
You may find something amazing
When you are on the roam
Follow all the signs
They will lead you to a price
But you may be surprised
When the credit card bill arrives

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 36 Wrap up

The Photo Rehab is a great community to share photos, learn new techniques, discover new talents, and connect.

In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week:

Week 36: Wrap up 

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind with Trains, Planes, Automobiles and a Bicycle:

Gun Roswell from Rantings of a Third Kind brings poetry and a gallery of  trains, planes, automobiles and a bicycle, from many parts of the world and different seasons. Enjoy it!

Caturday, Ode to Freakish Felines

An homage to Felines everywhere

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Caturday, Ode to Freakish Felines

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

“The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it” Dudley Moore

Trains, Planes, Automobiles and a Bicycle

On the open road
With a heavy load
A location in mind
Trying to unwind
Travelling on wheels
Has its appeals
But getting somewhere far
In only a car
Can be a chore
Changing the score
Picking up some wings
Has its wins
But if you want some style
And sail up the Nile
A boat or a yacht
Is worth getting stuck
If you want to do it old style
And travel with a big smile
The coolest way
With the hips in sway
Doing some recycling
Then, pedal a bicycle

Walkabout

“See me waving ‘see ya later’ as I disappear over the horizon” Crocodile Dundee

Walkabout

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
Never a moment too bad for a stroll
Do not the weather use
As a poor, poor excuse
Unpack your wellingtons
Unhide your dancing shoes
Into to the wide world venture
Whether walking, running or dancing
Might even do a little prancing
Your life soon a great adventure

One more day of Summer

“One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter” Henry David Thoreau

One more day of Summer

One more day of Summer
Before you start to slumber
Your mood turn to a bummer

But today,

Clothes down to thin
The sun rays on your skin
It’s truly no big sin
To enjoy while it lasts
The warm days soon will pass
And Fall will get here very fast
