Calm Before the Storm, Daily Photo 2015-12-05, Part Two

The sun has almost set
Soon it is time to get
Indoors before getting wet
It will rain soon, I’ll bet

It is the moment of calm
Before the coming of the storm

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky” Rabindranath Tagore

Calm Before the Storm, Daily Photo 2015-12-05, Part One

Painted red is the evening sky
Clouds gathering before the eye
Time standing almost still
Feeling anxious from the thrill

It is the moment of calm
Before the coming of the storm

Caturday, 2015-12-05, Part Two

Bitty of a kitty
Playing with water
How could I fault her
She is quite dear

I am quite dotty
For my little pretty kitty

Sitting on the potty
Looking very pretty
Acting quite the witty

I am quite dotty

“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies

Elves

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

The stars in the sky shining bright
No one knows where they tread

Dressed in white
Dressed in red

The Holiday Season is upon us
The Elves are all around us

Small or tall
They’re having a ball
Singing along
The holiday’s song

“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

“I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That’s not me at all” Daphne Guinness

Towering

In the distance
The mere existence
In the presence of significance
The towering height
In all its might

Fabulous Friday or Ode to my Shiny Shoes

golden-shoes-2

My shiny golden shoes
No time for the blues
Singing and dancing
In my shoes of fancy

My lovely golden shoes
Act as some kind of muse
They might be flashy
But I feel quite dashy

I may not be Howard Hughes
And I don’t need any booze
With minimal financing
I am out celebrating

Thank Goodness
For Fabulous Fridays!

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!”

“The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Elvis has left the Konebuilding”

This week’s favourite photo has to be the one of the Christmas ornament, or plastic Elvis, as I like to call it. The photograph was taken from one of the decorations of our office Christmas tree.
