World Wide Wednesday in Brazil
“I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new” Jules Verne
Welcome to Manaus, Brazil
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
A glimpse of the dolphins
Can raise the endorphins

Red, Red Roses for Daily Photo
“If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: ‘I’m cheap!’ Delta Burke
Close Up
“I am ready for my close-up, Ms Photographer Lady!”
No clicks of the shutter can be heard
“Hey lady! Over here! See, pretty as hell!”
Still nothing
“Hey miss-wannabe-photo-snapper, I am standing here, waiting… My time is not cheap you know!”
And yet no luck…
“OK, so now I am really getting pissed: Get your big butt over here and snap some pix, PRONTO!”
The pix-snapper finally reacts: “OK, OK, don’t get your knickers in a twist: I was just polishing my lens…”
“Gee, what a diva…”
“Snap, snap, snap… a presto!”

Solo
Flying solo
When ever the wind blows
And not even snow
Will make me loose my glow….
…Unless I have to stop and my nose blow!

One Among Many
Listen carefully
You might hear the soft whispers
Of the pretty rose sisters
Sitting in the vase neatly…
“Don’t push me!”
“Ouch, that really hurt!”
“You know, your thorns are really sharp!”
“Me, me, me, I want to be first!”

Cartoon Life for Daily Photo
“I just really love the cartoon form. I love the plasticity of it” Roz Chast
Apples
Lay all your apples in one basket
That’s a cliche most classic
But this doesn’t have to be their casket
After all, they were made of plastic

Roses
Roses are red, violets are blue
Roses made from cardboard
May be really hard to chew

“If you’re going through hell, keep going” Winston Churchill
Quote a Week Tuesday dedication to Sir Winston Churchill
I have dedicated this week’s Quote a Week Tuesday to Sir Winston Churchill. The quotations chosen may help you through some tricky situations, as they have me!
My top ten list (in no particular order):
* “There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”
* “To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”
* “Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.”
* “Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.”
* “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.”
* “Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.”
* “You have enemies? Good. It means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
* “In the course of my life I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.”
* “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.”
* “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”

Mundane Monday
“We’re horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We’re the ninjas of the mundane, you might say” Andy Partridge
Variations of a Theme
Same old song and dance
Oh, just give me a chance
I really like the view
It only shows for a few
Soon some snow will fall
And the pictures get more dull

Stairway Selfie
A familiar form
Maybe a little worn
From the window reflected
And in an image resurrected

Like the inside of a spleen
Or little figurines
Made out of soybeans
