Footfalls

Imprints in the snow
Leaving a soft glow
Trying to follow the flow
With a pace set as slow

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Ode to Freakish Felines

Freakishly feline
Or a soft purring ball
How easy to unwind
Soon to a sleep fall
Hypnotized
By those wide eyes
The limber steps
Command respect
You can never own them
Just borrow for a while
But rest assured, the little gems
Will leave you in big smiles

World Wide Wednesday Presents Delphi

Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Delphi

History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs

The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

Ready for the Close-up

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence” Ansel Adams

Ready for the Close-up

Getting closer and closer
A little more closer
Almost close enough
For an object to touch
But wait, time to hesitate
The cactus with mighty thorns
May your fingers scorn
Before you loose
Better choose
The creamy strawberries
With their pals blueberries
A tasty treat
Without any meat
Some eye candy to complete
With a red amaryllis ever so sweet

All creatures, Great and Small

“Contrast is what makes photography interesting” Conrad Hall

All creatures, Great and Small

Squirrels, birds and cats
With and without their hats
Kitty sitting on the potty
The vigilant bird on watch
The squirrel named Dotty
Living in the lodge

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 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-22)

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 shot 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 week’s breakdown, I have chosen three photographs each from the following topics:

All creatures, Great and Small
Ready for the Close up
Moon, Moon, where art thou?
Early Bird catches the Sunrise

Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Alphabet

This week, let the alphabet be your inspiration: find a string of letters. Try a multi-photo gallery to collect images of single characters. Find some beautiful typography, or look for letters hidden in natural forms. I’m excited to see your ABCs!

No need for a seat

As I am quite sweet
On dancing to the beat
Of a different drum
