Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17

For today’s quote, I actually have two for the price of one. And with my personal twist of course 😛

Usually it is nice to get feedback, especially the positive kind. Unfortunately sometimes (read more often than usual) you get feedback or opinions from people, who need to voice their own point of view for anything and everything.

For myself, a “like” is sufficient and indicates someone enjoyed your offering. If you have something valuable to add, then make a comment, hopefully the positive kind. But in this writer’s opinion, if you don’t like what you hear, read or see, just move along 😉

 

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, move along”

positive

“Opinions are like voids in the derrière; everyone has one”

opinions

 

Keep calm and keep on quoting!

Monday, 16th of November

Today, Monday

I woke up
Showered
Drove to work
The sun rose
Snapped a few snaps

Worked some
Had a lunch break
Snapped a few snaps

Worked some more
Had a coffee break
Snapped a few snaps

Working day ended
Drove home
Posted some blogs
Went to sleep
Dreaming of tomorrow

It will be Tuesday…

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #33

“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Phone Home?

A dialer device
From a different era
Had to suffice
Let me tell ya
An analog connection
No visual perception
No texting
Sure no sexting
Just a calling machine
The only mean
For ancient times
But oh how time flies
Now we all have
A mobile device

Que Sera, Sera

From Sunrise to Sunset, Part Three: Sunset, Nightfall

The sun is slowly setting
It is the time for letting
Go of daily grind
Peace and quite to find
The darkness soon will fall
Covering sky, nature and all

From Sunrise to Sunset, Part Two: Daytime

Leaves have fallen on the ground
The sun hanging low in the horizon
The warm colours painting the trees
The warm red as far as eye can see
November’s day cool and crispy
The weather maybe a little misty

“There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same” Carlos Santana

From Sunrise to Sunset, Part One: Sunrise

Darkness surrounding the morning suburbia
No worries, no hurries, no hysteria
Stepping out from the warmth of the bed
Tasks of a working day laid ahead
Moving along with the rising sun
Lots to do before the day is done

“The judge told me to approach the bench. We were in a park”Jarod Kintz,

Painted Red

The only bright spot
In the entire parking lot
In the midst of suburbia
Causing a minor hysteria
The colour of reddest red
Some say, it joy may spread

Carefully trying to sit
Just to see, if it is a fit
After I little while
I started to smile
The colour seemed to be
A perfect choice for me

And soon enough…
As far as the eye could see
All the red painted seats
Were occupied to the extreme

There is something to be said
Of the colour red
It never leaves you cold
Yes, and I too was sold
