& In honour of the month of December

If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01

This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?

Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss

A Visit to Father Christmas

“Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Claus. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don’t, who will?” Jon Bon Jovi

A Visit to Father Christmas

The jolly Saint Nick
For some, Father Christmas
To others, Santa Claus

Call him what you will
You will always get your fill
Of happy thoughts and enjoyment
And possibly a nice payment
On Christmas Eve
If you only believe

Last Day of November

In honour of the month of November
Poetry and Photography

“So. Monday. We meet again. We will never be friends—but maybe we can move past our mutual enmity toward a more-positive partnership.” Julio Alexi Genao

Last Day of November

Last day of November
Wishing it was still September
Or at least a snowy day in December

Rain, rain, rain
Some more rain
Feelings of mundane
Starting to sink in
Dull, dark, dreary
Nature somewhat eerie
The sun coming out rarely
Hanging in there barely

Last ones of leaves
In the barest of trees
Holding on for dear life
Existence one big strife

Then, something unexpected
When you least expected
A beam of light reflected
On the dark surface

Could it be?
Is it possibly…
Sunlight?

Amore

Oh L’amour
The word itself, pure glamour

Love
If it fits like a glove
Like the two proverbial doves
On a branch busy at tweet
Generating more heat
Than a red glowing stove

Love knows no gender
Love knows no age
Love is always tender
Love knows no hate

“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet” Napoleon Bonaparte

Sitting in Cyprus, Part Two

A single seat?
Or one designed for two?
In this heat
Who could want to be glued
To someone else’s skin
With clothes this thin

“Because it’s a seat”

Sitting in Cyprus, Part One

A stroll in the heat of summer
Looking for a place to recover
Taverns and restaurants beckoning
A cold drink for thirst lessening

Posted in Fav Foto Friday

“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!”

Favourite Photo Friday , 2015-11-27

For this week’s Favourite Photo of the week, I have chosen not one, but two from my Wednesday’s World Wide Wednesday series, which presented the city of Porvoo in colour in two parts.

Depicted is the beautiful river “Porvoonjoki” and the slow relaxed living during summer time in the old town of Porvoo, Finland.
