“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”
Family
Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

“I look like the man in the moon” Martin Freeman
Daylight Moon (Daily Photo 2016-01-09)
The cloudless blue evening sky
Bringing the moon out from its hide
Painted neatly into the landscape
With a uncompleted crescent shape
The eternal battle
Closer to a haggle
Between moon and sun
Had once more begun
In honour of Caturday and all cats everywhere and to my dear sister

“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”
The Girl and The Cat
Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat
No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat
No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set
If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”

“There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter” Billy Connolly
Winter, Winter
Oh winter, winter
You are such a splinter
In our collective derrières
Oh winter winter
I am using my printer
Producing images of summer
Oh winter winter
The whitish tinter
Gets old really fast
Oh winter winter
Do I really sound bitter
Just kidding, I’ll get by 😉

“Now is the winter of our discontent” William Shakespeare
Sunset
A flash of light
Breaking the gray skies
It was a sight
But oh how time flies
The sun
Has set

Footsteps
There are no missteps
Just follow my footsteps
And you may find
A reward of a different kind..

Window view
Outside it’s cool and crispy
The clouds are hanging low
It’s just another day in January
With quite a lot of snow
Sitting in my home office
The images quite flawless
Admiring the window views
In my hand my favourite brew

“My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive” Buzz Aldrin
Favourite Photo Friday 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-08)
Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shoot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉
For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!
For this particular post I have chosen three sets of photographs in three separate posts:
* The Finnish Dream: The idyllic setting of living for a Finn, a cottage on an island near or in the capital area and in the warmth of never ending summer, of course!
* Lighthouses: Two lighthouses for this post; One from the island of Evia, Greece. The other one from the Finnish southern most archipelago, the Söderskär Lighthouse.
* On the boat: An activity very dear to me, leisure time on a boat, with images from Cyprus and Verbania, Italy.
Enjoy!
