October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes

“When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator” Mahatma Gandhi
Another Moon in October
Close to a full moon
It will be here soon
The circle almost complete
The view an utter treat
The white, bright globe
Almost like a strobe
Up, up there high
In the dark night sky

Favourite Photo Of the Week
So many to choose from
I don’t even know
Where they all come from
But I guess it is the how
I am the only one to blame
If some of them gets the fame
This is what I chose this week
Hope it is what you all seek

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia
When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score
The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents
Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure
So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Three
The days are getting shorter
Reflections on the water
The last of the reminders
Of the times much kinder
The games of summer played
The tanned skin to rest laid
Tall shadows now displayed
Soon enough will fade
Because,
When in October
The cold shoulder
Of winter
Soon will reenter

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Two
Just another ordinary day
A day at the office
Blue for the skies
Blue for the thoughts
Looking out the window
Weather getting brighter
Mood is getting lighter
No time to hesitate
Out for a quick break
Sunshine and cool weather
What could be better

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part One
Early morning
Misty weather
Softly adorning
Like a feather
The nature silent
Without movement
The early bird
Only to be heard
Nothing else
Breaks the silence
Of the morning mist

Monday Morning Sunrise
Standing there, stunned
As the early morning sun
Making quite the display
When, lighting up the skies
In its unique and fiery way
But oh, how time flies
Still, wishing to remain
For a little while at least
But, unfortunately, duty calls
Oh, that necessary beast
Slowly making my way
To another mundane Monday
Secretly hoping of tomorrow
For another piece of beauty
To let me borrow

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”
“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch
Mundane Monday, 2015-10-19
She is standing tall
Hoping never to fall
Slicing the sky
Beautiful to the eye
In silver and blue
Didn’t have a clue
Until the sun’s reflection
Caught my attention
A mundane object?
Or something perfect?

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner
Just another Tuesday
Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work
When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

Sunrise, Blue Skies
Early morning crisp
The wind but a soft whisp
Sky of the brightest blue
Presenting the greatest view
Sunlight’s reflections of red
Painted across the shed
The night’s icy reminder
Glittering on the ground
Soon the day much kinder
And a feeling more profound
