Tired Tuesday?
Keeping darkness at bay
Light snow in the early morning hours
Maybe later some hail and rain showers

Mundane Monday?
No, not today
Snow, snow and then some
What more is yet to come?

Sunday, 22nd of November, Part One
On the 22nd day of November
The snow fall finally came
And one centigrade of minus degrees
The white dust on the ground
Everywhere to be found
Where the heck is my car
Couldn’t have left it far
Grabbed the snow shovel
Moving my muscles
Soon the path is clear
Feeling like a pioneer
On the 22nd day of November
The icy cold rain
Hit the bloody plane
Due to one centigrade of minus degrees
I just hope the roads won’t ice over
Or I’ll be prancing like a four leaf clover
Trying to cross the roads
In the early morning hours
On my way to work
Trying not to go berserk
When it’s really dark
Only dogs will bark
On the 22nd day of November
The snow fall finally came
The icy cold rain
Hit the bloody plane
Due to one centigrade of minus degrees
In honour of the month of November
Poetry, Photography, Song
“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather” John Ruskin
On the 21st day of November
On the 21st day of November
My true love sent to me
One centigrade of minus degrees
On the 21st day of November
My true love also sent to me
Lots of icy cold rain
Several snowflakes of dancing
And one centigrade of minus degrees
On the 22nd day of November
I wish for my true love to send to me
Many more warm degrees
Much of sunshine weather
Or a trip to Hawaii

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!”
“My photography is the result of being there at the right moment” Rene Burri
Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-20
For this week’s favourite photo, I have chosen the one tagged as “Tricolour”.
This photograph is related to the recent events in the most gorgeous city in the world, that of Paris, France. It was originally posted for the “SL WEEK” photo challenge, run by Sylvain Landry , titled “Bleu, Blanc, Rouge”.

Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
Setting limits on your writing can be both liberating and productive, as you may have noticed in Day 1’s timed free-write and yesterday’s word count exercise. Let’s incorporate a different restriction: write a post that takes place during one single day.
It might seem hard, at first, to tell a compelling story with such a limited temporal horizon: you have no recourse to flashbacks, backstory, or foreshadowing (unless it’s in reference to something about to take place that same day). But the narrow confines of one single day will encourage you to zoom in on rich, telling details.
But remember: recreating a single day doesn’t automatically mean describing every detail. This assignment is very much about editing — and focusing on the right details.
How will you use 24 hours as your story’s canvas? Here are examples:
* Start in the middle of the action, then zig and zag through time, from the moment you woke up to the last thing that happened before you retired for the night.
* Structure your story as a play-by-play (or hour-by-hour) account, complete with precise time markers.
* Zoom in even further, limiting yourself to just one hour of your chosen day.
* Ignore these instructions and reveal one day’s significance indirectly, through focusing on its aftermath
“Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary” Gerard Way
Writing 101, Day Fourteen: Recreate a single day
For this particular assingment, I decided to go with a completely different approach. I have kind of had a head start for the overall idea of “recreating a single day” since Monday.
I am running a trial of posts this under the theme of “Ordinary Days”, where I am capturing the events of the day in few simple sentences accompanied by daily photos taken during each day. The trial itself was a good idea, unfortunately my life, as it turns out is filled with more work than ever! But still, well worth the while the effort 😉
Maybe Friday will bring a change, since it is after, fabulous!
