PHOTO CHALLENGE: Happy Place
“This week, we want you to show us where you go to get your groove back”

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Happy Place.”

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters” Audrey Hepburn

Happy Place, Poolside (Part One)

Don’t worry, be happy
And yes, do make it snappy
I know you’re not in a hurry
And you needn’t worry
The happy place
You were looking for
Never really stays
In one place for too long
Don’t try to act like a nut
But get off your butt
Hit that road
Follow the toad

Oh, but wait!
Happiness starts at home
So, don’t hesitate
Get into the zone
Forget for a while the rules
And just dive into the pool

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!”

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it” Ansel Adams

Fav Foto Friday #13

How to choose a favourite
Do I even dare of it?
I love all “my offspring”
From early morning
To late of the night
I keep up the good fight
For my photographs
What more could I ask

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne

October Sunrise

… The longer you stare
Into the bright glare
The red gets in control
Devouring the sky whole

October Sunrise

Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…
