“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green
Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red
The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade
The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?

3 Days, 3 Quotes Challenge, Part Two, Day Three
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated” Confucius
It’s only complicated if you are stupid
Today’s quote is something I ran across a team meeting at work a while back. The quote stuck to me and eventually I had to write a post about it too. It is very humorous as it is accurate and applies to so many aspects of life.
“It’s only complicated if you are stupid”

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Blue Moment
That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…
…A natural true blue

“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

“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 😉

Posted in Fav Foto Friday
“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, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution” Ansel Adams
Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-06
Monolith
Tall, dark and mysterious
Standing by itself, all serious
Staring at it, getting nervous
Or maybe just a little delirious

“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
