“To have my cake and eat it too?… hm… eat it!”
Chocolate Cake 
It’s just a cake
Nothing fake
Some sugar and spice
All the things nice
And do not forget
The best ingredient
What is it?
What else for a ‘holic
But dark chocolate

“Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower” Hans Christian Andersen
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-08
Today’s quote seems quite apt for the time of the year, especially for us living way up North, in the land also known as Finland.
During this period, we usually spend our days in total darkness, starting from October and ending only in early spring months. But, for what ever reason, today, we had a beautiful sunny day and clear blue skies as far as the eyes could see.
Odd indeed, but also an excellent photo opportunity for us pic-snappers and a good chance to soak in a few rays while hanging outside (naturally, in the freezing weather 😉 ):

“I have always tried to live by the ‘awe principle.’ That is: Can I find awe, wonder and enchantment in the most mundane things conceivable?” Craig Hatkoff
Mundane Monday, 2015-12-07, Part Two
Looking out the window
Cannot find a rainbow
Closing all the curtains
Feelings of uncertain
The weather I cannot bend
But at least I can pretend
Turning on all
The colourful lights
In my mind
It is white and bright
At least before it’s time
To make my way outside

“You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars” Gary Allan
Early Morning Sunrise with Crescent Moon, Daily Photo 2015-12-07, Part Three
The storms have finally passed
The moon its light trying to cast
The sun pushing its way with a blast
Daylight waving its flag in the mast
Oh how I wish this forever could last
But only for a passing moment
Then it’s all over way too fast
Darkness has covered the skies alas

“The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance” Arthur Smith
Pale Moonlight
Have you ever pranced around
In the pale moonlight?
Bare feet in the middle of the night?
The neighbours bringing to a fright?
With a big grin and out of smite?
Why?
Because, I always ask that from all my friends.

“The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes” Paulo Coelho
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
