“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien
Nightfall, City Lights
The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October
Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent
And start my journey home
In honour of the month of November

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns” George Eliot
Leaves of November
The colours may be fading
The cold nights not aiding
The circle of life still a fact
Use camouflage to distract?
Winter knocking at the door
Trying hard to ignore
Yearn for life weighing more
Growing stronger than before
In honour of the month of November
Poetry and Photography
“The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully” Henry Rollins
Just Another Week Day in November
Oh how time flies
Right in front of my eyes
Like a time laps movie
Running by the history
The sun rises and sun sets
Fluffy clouds a wonder
Rain and thunder
Making the ground wet
It used to be January
Now it is already November
Maybe it was just imaginary
Or just something I remember

“Don’t shoot what it looks like, shoot what it feels like” David Alan Harvey
Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world
Photography is a hobby very near and dear to me. I have been shooting pics since I was ten, when I got my first pocket camera by Kodak. I used to make black and white photos in the school photo lab every week and was known as the school “pix snapper”, recording history whenever there was an event or another. Of course in those days, we used film for the cameras and working part time was the best option to get my film rolls. In today’s world, photography is more common of course and easy access to cameras even on mobile phones makes anyone a “photographer”.
After starting my blog this year and posting my photos on Instagram, Flickr and 500px I can totally relate to this quote, since even the English language can be difficult for some to understand, but a photograph seems to be a simple way to share one’s art.
“Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world” Bruno Barbey
The Daily Post Photo challenge: Ornate
Forget about subdued and restrained. This week, let’s embrace the breathtakingly extravagant.
“A lot of designs are grounded in history even though they tend to be clean and not overly ornate. The sculptural form is often historic. If you come to our exhibit, a lot of things will look familiar” Ellen Lupton
Ornate, The Natural History Museum of London
A building
Filled with beauty and history
A home to many a -logy
Botany, entomology, mineralogy
Paleontology and zoology
You may bump into a dinosaur
But don’t worry, it will not roar
Explore the various galleries
Where many of Earth’s memories
Are housed
Public engagement and education
Plenty of research and curation
The Darwin centre with specimen
The Attenborough Studio for conservation
Plenty to choose from

“You know, from my point of view, I’m the luckiest cat on the planet” Hugh Hefner
Caturday, 2015-11-07
The cat in the mirror
The sleek feline figure
Eyes blue as sapphire
Her spirit filled with fire
Herself does she admire
In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere

Caturday, 2015-11-07
Cats, cats, cats
I see a lots of cats
Cats over there
And cats over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere
Oh, look at the pretty cat
In the window there
What window, where?
Over there, over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

“Puns are the highest form of literature” Alfred Hitchcock
I am a writer and therefore automatically a suspicious character
I have adopted a quote from a great director and certainly a personality in his own right, Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock.
Using the quote on my blog main page, I consider it to be the utmost homage to Hitchcock. And as life would have it, the quote fits my own personality like a glove 😉
“I’m a writer and, therefore, automatically a suspicious character.” Alfred Hitchcock
Writing 101, Day Five: Hook ’em with a quote
A blank page can be intimidating. Sometimes it’s helpful to use someone else’s words to give you a boost. Today, use a quote or passage from something you’ve read to introduce your post.
The type of quote you choose is up to you. Maybe the passage is something you’d like to comment on, or is one of your favorite quotes. Or maybe you read a great essay the other day, and one of its lines made you think.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken” Oscar Wilde
I am who I am
I am
What I am
Simply
Just
Because
I want to be
I am a closet writer
I am also intensely hyper
I am some kind of photographer
I am also a videographer
I am fifty year old lady with an attitude
But not without much gratitude
So what if I wear my hair short
So what if I sometimes snort
So what if I wear pink at my age
So what if I feel comfortable on a stage
So what if I wear a shorter than short skirt
So what if I’m a bit of a flirt

Pretty in Pink
The colour pink
It’s more than just ink
It may be a chosen lifestyle
Or just some clothes in a pile
Don’t put me on a file
Just because for a while
I chose to wear the colour
Stay out late and holler
Wearing a short skirt
A well earned perk
Naturally, all in pink
And very much in sync
The illusion complete
To everyone send this tweet
“She is off her rocker
Oh what a shocker”
And with that, my job here is done!
And I had so much fun!
