“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art” Ansel Adams
Moon, Moon, where art thou?
Moon, moon
Where art thou moon?
Come out from your hiding
On the nightly path guiding
Before off the trail
I go slipping and sliding

“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free.
Don’t miss so many of them.” Jo Walton
No Ordinary Sunset
Reflecting surfaces
Free of disturbance
Shadows on the walls
Where ever light falls
Red as the colour
Always a stunner
Up in the tower
Feeling empowered
Staring at the horizon
Evermore surprising
The setting of the sun
Was a true home run

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”
Sankta Lucia
The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia

Thoughts by Albert Einstein
1. Follow Your Curiosity: “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
2: Perseverance is Priceless: “It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
3: Focus on the Present: “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
4: Imagination is Powerful: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
5: Make Mistakes: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
6: Live in the Moment: “I never think of the future – it comes soon enough.”
7: Create Value: “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
8: Don’t Be Repetitive: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
9: Knowledge Comes From Experience: “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience.”
10: Learn the Rules and Then Play Better: “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

“Vroom, Vroom! Can I get more speed, please?”
Daily Wheels
Time for the bi-yearly service
So no need to be nervous
This is no major over haul
Just a quick ten minute call
A preparation before the snow fall
Also, because it is the law
And to be able to drive
Simply put, to stay alive 😉
Meanwhile, in the distance
Spotted something completely different
A train dashing by
Almost like it was on the fly
Because a vehicle of that calibre
Do not live by the calendar
Just keeping on the right track
Travelling every which way and back
Before my day was done
I bumped into something fun
A sporty looking vehicle
Did not seem too seasonal
But with the right kind of footwear
It too could be put into full gear
Choose some cool tunes on the radio
And ride along in the deep snow

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
Seat in an Art Studio
Fancy a seat
In an art studio so neat?
Show is about to start
So sit down
And look smart!

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

“Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench, Dame Judi Dench,,, “
Happy 83rd Birthday, Dame Judi Dench
I’m not getting old, I am getting better
I am becoming a classic
Like the fine wine
For a special occasion to dine
Like the little red Corvette
You always wanted as a pet
I am
much better
more wiser
and even smarter
Than ever
Extraordinary woman
Exemplary human
Remarkable personality
Striking beauty
If you challenge me
I will compete with thee
Reach the finish line
Before you have the time
To Say
Wait for me!
Many things I have accomplished
Some of them without compliments
Many more still to come
Before I am done
What’s up next
You ask
Without being hexed
I would like the task
Ruler of the World naturally to follow
But not today,
Maybe tomorrow

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs .
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
Ready for the Close-up
Getting closer and closer
A little more closer
Almost close enough
For an object to touch
But wait, time to hesitate
The cactus with mighty thorns
May your fingers scorn
Before you loose
Better choose…

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs .
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams
Ready for the Close-up
…Before you loose
Better choose
The creamy strawberries
With their pals blueberries
A tasty treat
Without any meat
Some eye candy to complete
With a red amaryllis ever so sweet
