Fabulous Friday or Ode to my Shiny Shoes

My shiny golden shoes
No time for the blues
Singing and dancing
In my shoes of fancy

My lovely golden shoes
Act as some kind of muse
They might be flashy
But I feel quite dashy

I may not be Howard Hughes
And I don’t need any booze
With minimal financing
I am out celebrating

Thank Goodness
For Fabulous Fridays!

“Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

“My photography is the result of being there at the right moment” Rene Burri

Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-20

For this week’s favourite photo, I have chosen the one tagged as “Tricolour”.

This photograph is related to the recent events in the most gorgeous city in the world, that of Paris, France. It was originally posted for the “SL WEEK” photo challenge, run by Sylvain Landry , titled “Bleu, Blanc, Rouge”.

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day

Setting limits on your writing can be both liberating and productive, as you may have noticed in Day 1’s timed free-write and yesterday’s word count exercise. Let’s incorporate a different restriction: write a post that takes place during one single day.

It might seem hard, at first, to tell a compelling story with such a limited temporal horizon: you have no recourse to flashbacks, backstory, or foreshadowing (unless it’s in reference to something about to take place that same day). But the narrow confines of one single day will encourage you to zoom in on rich, telling details.

But remember: recreating a single day doesn’t automatically mean describing every detail. This assignment is very much about editing — and focusing on the right details.

How will you use 24 hours as your story’s canvas? Here are examples:

* Start in the middle of the action, then zig and zag through time, from the moment you woke up to the last thing that happened before you retired for the night.

* Structure your story as a play-by-play (or hour-by-hour) account, complete with precise time markers.

* Zoom in even further, limiting yourself to just one hour of your chosen day.

* Ignore these instructions and reveal one day’s significance indirectly, through focusing on its aftermath

“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary” Gerard Way

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day

For this particular assingment, I decided to go with a completely different approach. I have kind of had a head start for the overall idea of “recreating a single day” since Monday.

I am running a trial of posts this under the theme of “Ordinary Days”, where I am capturing the events of the day in few simple sentences accompanied by daily photos taken during each day. The trial itself was a good idea, unfortunately my life, as it turns out is filled with more work than ever! But still, well worth the while the effort 😉

Maybe Friday will bring a change, since it is after, fabulous!

… And watch out for today’s post for Fabulous Friday

“Nothing screws up your Friday like realizing it’s Thursday”

Thursday, 19th of November, Part One

Today, Thursday…

…The sun appeared
The flowers on the table
Had started to bloom
Snapped a few pics

“Nothing screws up your Friday like realizing it’s Thursday”

Thursday, 19th of November, Part One

Today, Thursday

Early morning
I woke up
Showered
Looked out the window
It was really dark
The rain had continued
All through the night
Went outside for a while
Snapped a few pics

Worked, worked, worked
Meetings and then some
Had a snack break
The sun appeared
The flowers on the table
Had started to bloom
Snapped a few pics

Worked some more
Afternoon
It was time for a
Splash in the pool
Left to take the dive
Had a few minutes to enjoy the nature
Snapped a few pics

Back home
More work
More meetings
Urgency
Finally,
Working day ended
It was really dark outside
Put out some Christmas decor
Snapped a few pics
