The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

“With 2016 officially here, we face forward to take on what’s next. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, so I wanted a broad theme that could be simple, fun, and festive, but also complex and introspective. And so, circle it is.”

Moon

Crescent moon
Full moon
A big white balloon
Wrapped up in a dark cocoon
Silence, the signature tune
Except,
When you are howling
At the moon

Emergency Exit

The view from above
From the port window
Flying up high
Up in the blue sky
Close to the exit
Going through the checklist
Just in case…

Coffee

A finest organic suspension ever devised
The heavenly concoction disguised
In a form of darkest of liquids
But with a fair warning depicted
You may get quite addicted

I see lots of shoes
Shoes over here
And shoes over there

Oh take a look
At the pretty slingback
In the window there!

So many shoes
So little time!

“Behind every successful woman is a fabulous pair of shoes”

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-06

For today’s quote, I chose from a topic very near and dear to me. What is it?
Yes, you guessed it; Shoes! But seriously, this is one topic I do not take very lightly 😉

A woman can never have too many pairs of shoes!

The inspiration for this post actually came to me from the Albert and Victoria Museum exhibit of “12 Days of Shoes“, currently running in the museum. If you are in London,
you may want to check it out.

Meanwhile;

“You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy shoes, and that is kind of the same thing!”

Happy Shoe Days, All!

“What after all, is a halo? It’s only one more thing to keep clean” Christopher Fry

The Halo Effect (Daily Photo 2016-01-05)

What a surprise
Up in the skies
The sun got its halo
She was trying to lay low
But somehow
She was found
And awarded
With a ring of light
Shining ever so bright

“Winter is a season of recovery and preparation” Paul Theroux

Winter Morning

Early winter morning
Early, before the dawning
Fresh tracks in the powdery snow
Carefully found before the wind blows

The snowflakes frozen
Glazed against the window
Ski tracks on the ground
But not a soul to be found

The crescent moon
Present before noon
But not far behind
The sun with its shine

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #40

good

“I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want” GG Allin

Good vs. Evil?

They say it is good for you
Healthy type of food
You must eat it
Possibly, even enjoy it
But who can really resist
The tempting siren song
Of the sugary spawn
Of a glazed donught
They said not to touch
But I really wanted it so much
Sneaking it out
In a hankerchief no less
I must confess
I ate the whole thing
With one big bite
Just out of spite
I really, really enjoyed it

evil

“The magical way the wintertime warms you up is through its frozen beauties!” Mehmet Murat ildan

Blue Moment, Daily Photo (2016-01-04)

Something old
Something new
Something stolen
Something blue
A moment in time
Forever frozen
Captured
By an image
In the mind’s eye
And possibly
Forever
In bits and bytes

“When I was a kid, the only way I saw movies was from the back seat of my family’s car at the drive-in” Forest Whitaker

Sunny Side of the Bench

On the sunny side of the bench
No option of getting drenched
Enjoying the long, warming rays
In these unworried and lazy days

Before the days are done
Soaking in the healing sun
With closed eyes this moment
Like an image in my mind burnt
