Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)

As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise

In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

Seen from a bird’s–eye view
Down the watery avenue
Blue and even more blue

“Sailing, sailing, over the Bounty Bay”

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day Two: Sailing

The sun on my back
The wind in my sails
The gentle tap
Against the rails

This is…
Heaven

Yellow Little Things of Spring (Daily Photo) 

Something very weird:
Snow has but disappeared
Warm breeze passes in the air
Without warm clothing able to fare

What is this peculiar feeling
Do I need to fear?

But no problem!
It’s spring time, which is finally here!

“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water” Rabindranath Tagore

7 Days of Nature Photo Challenge: Day One: On the Rocks

Against the smoothed rocks
Is the water happily splashing
High in the air go flying my crocks
When I’m barefoot in the sand dashing

Close to the water’s edge
I once again my allegiance pledge
Wowing, this year my toe to dip
Even if it means biting the lip

Come high hell or cold water
Because it may never get hotter
In the ocean I will swim
Even if my eyesight will dim

After all, it is Spring Time!

“Welcome to the dark side”

Dark Side of the Odd (Mundane Monday)

There in the corner it stood
Like something from the tales of the odd
Or maybe, it was just misunderstood

“The sun is new each day” Heraclitus

The Sun: Daily Photo

It should be no surprise
The sun will always rise
Despite the cloudy skies

Enjoy it while it lasts
The day will soon pass
And the night will fall fast
