THREE:
Pretty red flower
Over the others will tower
Raising its head proudly
Shouting out loudly
“Look at me, me, me, me!”

TWO:
Red, green and blue combined
Autumn’s true colours refined
Vibrating in the afternoon sun
Before the winter winds
Will leave them undone

ONE:
The colour of blue
With a slightest hue
Of turquoise and silver
Reflected on the wall
Shadows of tall
Evening lights flowing
Like the river

“The only photograph I regret is the one I did not take” Gun Roswell
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-02
People often ask me what kind of camera I use. I must confess, after being a pix snapper for forty years, I have come to the conclusion, that the camera does not make the shot, I do. I used to drag all sorts of equipment with me even on travels, but since the advent of the digital format, I prefer to carry the smallest one with me, or just the mobile phone.
Of course there are advantages to SLR and various lens options, but then again, I rarely get the opportunity to just spend my time pic snapping anymore and when the opportunity for a great shot arises, I don’t care what camera I have with me, as long as I get the shot.
There are those who disagree with me and I agree not all of the snaps turn out as I imagined, but for me personally, the idea is more important than technical perfection. An image can be perfect in all ways, but still have no content. Even an out of focus image with a great vision, can be perfect. And in the end, if you yourself like it, then it is great!
Meanwhile, I think we can all agree on Chase Jarvis’ quote:

The White Cat in a Hat
The little white cat
With a black hat
Was taking a nap
On the kitchen mat
Her tail all curled
As she softly purred
Oblivious to the world
As it around her whirled
Something made her stir
Looking up with a stare
Straight up stood her fur
As she took off in a blur
The hat off tore
Landed on the floor
The cat was out the door
Heard was a loud roar

Once there was a Man
Once there was a man
Who did not understand
That the greatest of plans
Was already in his hands
So he went around town
Looking for his crown
His face in a big frown
Feelings of letting down
But when he saw a beggar
With the biggest smile ever
He suddenly turned around
And his smile finally found

Fantasies
Of another tomorrow

Poolside and up to par

I feel pretty
And so witty
I am slender
Yet curvy
Guess my gender?
It’s green

No,
I am not hiding
I am just
Standing
Observing

“My little pretty red gloves bring me joy and warmth; after all it is winter!” Gun Roswell
Red Gloves (Mundane Monday 2016-02-01)
“This is when the gloves come off!” She stated with a huff and puff.
Throwing down the protective shielding onto the ground, she was about to defy all beliefs of what would happen when exposing yourself to the elements.
It was that time of the year, when the cold season had taken over. There was no hiding from the white powdery substance covering most of the northern world. The only thing to do to survive was to put as much woven garments on top of the skin as possible. The degrees sinking down below zero in the tens, sometimes even hundreds, this season lasted for a length of six moons.
But those damn mittens! How they irritated her, especially today. They were always in the way. Grabbing things was not easy, not to mention holding a shovel.
She looked at the discarded gloves laying on the ground. Red against the whitest of snow. Pretty were they, she thought and kept staring at them, while her fingers were getting numb. Finally, as beckoning her, she scooped the offending mittens from the pile of snow, pulled them on and admired the colour and the feel of them.
Once again, she was happy in her gorgeous red mittens.
