World Wide Wednesday Presents: Delphi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot
In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere

“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

“Contrast is what makes photography interesting” Conrad Hall
All creatures, Great and Small
Squirrels, birds and cats
With and without their hats
Kitty sitting on the potty
The vigilant bird on watch
The squirrel named Dotty

Posted in Fav Foto Friday #26
Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”
“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still” Dorothea Lange
Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-22)
Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉
For this week’s breakdown, I have chosen three photographs each from the following topics:
All creatures, Great and Small
Ready for the Close up
Moon, Moon, where art thou?
Early Bird catches the Sunrise
Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Alphabet
This week, let the alphabet be your inspiration: find a string of letters. Try a multi-photo gallery to collect images of single characters. Find some beautiful typography, or look for letters hidden in natural forms. I’m excited to see your ABCs!

I am the Alpha
I am the Omega
I am the Beginning
I am the End

Drumming a Beat
No need for a seat
Feeling the heat
As I am quite sweet
On dancing to the beat
Of a different drum

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx
Caturday, 2016-01-16
When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat
The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat
After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual
This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail
David Bowie: In Memoriam
“Don’t tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon”
Faded Footprints
Just a few faded footprints
Left behind on the ground
Think of them as blueprints
To vision and sound
Living in the presence
For time is of the essence
But follow them I must
Before they fade into dust

Weightless, Two
Gliding across the skies
Between the clouds she flies
Sometimes out loud she cries
But up there, no one hears
Of her fears
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Weightless
Some of the things that always remind me of gravity include (but are certainly not limited to):
* Dancing all night long after the age of 30.
* Carrying a human baby for more than three minutes.
* News of a plane crash right before I embark on a trip (because that’s when all planes crash).
* Putting on skis for the first time in a couple of years.
* Building blocks. Especially building blocks.

Weightless, One
Wings spread to the widest
When on the wind she rides
Feelings of being fearless
When up in the air she is,
