“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow” Helen Keller
Shadow Play in October Part One
The sun in zenith
Standing beneath it
My shadow casting tall
Despite feeling small
The shadows at play
On this October day
Wish I could stay
A while longer
Celebrating all Animals everywhere on World Animal Day

World Animal Day, 2015-10-04
What would the world be
Without a cat, elephant or a bee
As far as the eye can see
Birds sitting in the trees
Join in and celebrate
All creatures great and small
They have given us much more
Than anyone can elaborate

Photo Rehab, The Clinic: Week 40 Wrap Up
“In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers” Lucile De Godoy
Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week from Lucile’s site:

Sunny Days in October Part One
Rain, rain, rain
And some more rain
But, wait… what?
Today, no rain?
Surprisingly sunny
To the point of funny
The air soft and warm
I could have sworn
It was late summer
But oh bummer
I wasn’t grinning
Because,
It was the beginning
Of October
A homage to Cats now departed
A dip into the photo archives.
“In nine lifetimes, you’ll never know as much about your cat as your cat knows about you” Michel de Montaigne
Happy Caturday 2015-10-03
I still remember
That day in September
When a furry bundle of joy
Appeared at my door
And with a loud roar
Shouted: Ahoy!
Over thirty years ago
With four more in tow
With fullest of force
Changing the course
Of my entire life
Without much strife

SL WEEK 13: Four Wheel Drives
Four wheel drives
Of a different kind
Manual propulsion
With a little compulsion
Slowly getting nowhere
And then again, everywhere
Usage from ages zero
To the top one hundred
You can be a hero
Or a little weirdo
As long as you keep pedalling
The flow of adrenaline
Will keep you moving
Your condition improving
Hear the crowds cheering
As you are nearing
The finish line

“Life is like riding a bicycle: you don’t fall off unless you stop pedaling” Claude Pepper
SL WEEK 13: I want to ride my Bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride it where I like
Sometimes, even a trike
With this simple vehicle
On a ride so magical
Ever so classical
In today’s world radical
And utterly likeable
Someone said impossible
Even behaviour maniacal
Never mind the icicles
And the cynicals
I just keep on riding on
My bicycle
