Day Two: “Street” — Establishing Shot

* Today, let’s focus on a street. It can be a quiet road blanketed in snow, an alley covered with murals, or a busy avenue where pedestrians weave between cars and motorbikes.

On the Streets of Helsinki

“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher

 Street Zombies

Roaming wild
Woman, man and child

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

There is no stopping
The street zombies
They’re not looking for bodies
But all new produce

“Shopping, shopping,
Need to do more shopping”

A Symphony for the Street

A welcome distraction
And a new attraction
A mini orchestra
Playing, a familiar formula
Street dwellers stopping
To familiar tunes start bopping
An overnight sensation
Across this tiny nation
Or at least
The street of Alexander’s!

Ride Your Bike

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the street
But watch out for the spikes
Or you will end up on your feet

Freakish Felines for Caturday

Posted in Caturday
Photography /Poetry 

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

Freakish Felines for Caturday

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
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

Partners on Display

We are
Two of a kind
Both streamlined
Dreaming of the races
In all different places
But for now
Window dressing
Is our current setting

Partners in Generations

Aunt and niece
Together complete
A partnership by blood
Sometimes causes a flood
But, as they say
Blood is thicker than water
But sometimes reunions get hotter
And I hope you brought some paddles
It’s going to be rough weather
So, best let out a pray!

Vintage for SL-Week

“I am more vintage than I am high fashion” Kat Graham

Black and White

Would it be easier
If the world was black and white?
Would it be easier
To distinguish wrong from right?
Instead of fight
Choosing flight?
What if…
Never mind!
It only vintage in my own mind
