Happy Place, At Sea (Part Three)
Step into the vessel
Forget the pressure
When setting sail
And hitting that trail
Hoping for
The gail to stay away
For a smooth journey
With a gentle sway
On the ocean’s gurney

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking” Marcus Aurelius
Happy Place, Seashore (Part Two)
Happiness
Is a little stretch of emptiness
Of seashore that is
Sitting on the rocks
Watching the waves
Feeling the misbehave
Tossing shoes and socks
Walking to the waterline
Reminders of cloud nine
Sand between the toes
Silently uttered woes
Of never leaving…
…Paradise

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters” Audrey Hepburn
Happy Place, Poolside (Part One)
Don’t worry, be happy
And yes, do make it snappy
I know you’re not in a hurry
And you needn’t worry
The happy place
You were looking for
Never really stays
In one place for too long
Don’t try to act like a nut
But get off your butt
Hit that road
Follow the toad
Oh, but wait!
Happiness starts at home
So, don’t hesitate
Get into the zone
Forget for a while the rules
And just dive into the pool
October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes

“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again” Hal Borland
October Saturday, Part Two
Standing in the sun’s light
Between the tall shadows
Selfies of a different kind
Listening to the echoes
Before the end of twilight
And the rising of the moon
Night time falling soon

“October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master” Elizabeth Enright
October Saturday, Part One
Finally, weekend
Truly a godsend
A time to enjoy and relax
Lift your feet up and chillax
But, being my usual self
Could not just sit down
Grabbed the camera from the shelf
And ran down town
Sunlight on Saturday
Watching the shadows play
Colours of leaves in abundance
The birds and flies doing a dance
Sun warming the air
Not a time to despair
The cold and damp weather
Replaced by light and high pressure
In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere
“The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat” Jules Renard
Caturday, 2015-10-17
I am a tiger cat
Hear me roar!
My furry stripes
I am wearing proud
Sometimes picking a fight
‘Cause I like being loud
But when groomed and fed
And safely resting in bed
I am a cute little kitty
Without any hissy fitty
I am a soft kitty
Hear me purr

How to choose a favourite
Do I even dare of it?
I love all “my offspring”
From early morning
To late of the night
I keep up the good fight
For my photographs
What more could I ask

Throwback Thursday: Gun Roswell
The year was nineteen sixty eight
Life still at stage wait
I must have been no more
Than three years of age
Little Red Riding Hood
Yes, I knew I could
In the borrowed red elf’s hat
Cutest thing you ever saw
Prettiest princess of them all
How could I ever top that!
Now, forty seven years later
Oh life, you’re such a traitor!
I still love red of course
Now I wear it with horns
In the mighty stiletto heels
Life is as good as it feels
In memory of my dear departed brother Jan-Erik
