“A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill” Robert A. Heinlein

Down the Hill (Daily Photo)

When ever there is snow on the ground
And a small mountain or a molehill found
The kids will arrive in flocks
Dragging their sleighs to the top
“Mommy, mommy, look at me!
Look how fast I am going!
Oops, look, there’s a tree!”

<Crash, bang, boing>

“Mommy, mommy, look no teeth!”
The kid only laughingly stated
As back up hill he ventured
If only to once more ride
Before getting his dentures

Manic Monday? (Daily Photo) One

Is this another Manic Monday?
Or just another January Fun-day?



It’s six o’clock already, but I need to drive steady. The roads are iced and if I drive too fast, I will get sliced. As usual, after the weekend, Monday follows and so does the mania and the panic. Rushing here and rushing there. A never ending story of this writer’s life. Or does it apply to everyone?

Just when I thought it was safe to say, it’s going to be a peaceful day, all hell breaks loose. So who cooked the goose this time? All was fine, for a moment at least, but someone unleashed the beast. And yet again, another fire to fight! Ah this poor girl’s plight.

Several hours later, when once again, I have turned into a hater, of Mondays, the sun has come out to play! I’m secretely hoping it is here to stay! I rush out, leaving my gloves and coat behind. Never mind! The air is much warmer now. After all, only minus degrees of two, so what have I got to loose!

Reaching the seashore, the sunrise to score. Enjoying a few seconds, because the sun beckoned and then… it hits me. The coldest of winds, blowing in my face. Oh how I really hate… Winter! GRRRR.

Snow and then some! (Part One)

In the early morning hours
Before the rush and plowers
A perfect moment of stillness
Nature white and flawless
Staring in awe
At the most beautiful picture
I ever saw

A snowy sunny day
In the land far far away
Up North, let us pray!
Children came out to play
Even adults came forth

After all

What else is there to say
Because yet another
Fabulous and sunny Friday
Has found its way

Mundane Monday (REPOST)

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
& In honour of the month of December

quote-1

“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 😉 ):

“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night” Steve Martin

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
