“Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star” W. Clement Stone

September Moon

The view from my room
A beautiful crescent moon
Lighting the dark night sky
How I would love to fly
High up, up there
Into the stratosphere
And visit the man on the moon
Like shown in the cartoon

September Sunset

Photography & Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

“Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There’s nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day” Rachel Boston

September Sunset

The evening sky painted red
Unfortunately it was time for bed
But chose to go out instead
And admire the colourful display
Mother nature had sprayed
From her can of colourful paint
Snapped a few pix
Just for the kicks
Before the nightly eclipse

A September Day in Espoo, In the Street

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul… but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” Peggy Toney Horton

A September Day in Espoo, On the Street

Heading to the streets
Stumbling on my feet
But not to worry
I was in no hurry
Luckily someone
Had left the seat out

A September Day in Espoo, Home Base

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul… but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” Peggy Toney Horton

A September Day in Espoo, Home Base

Hopeful of a little sunshine
Trying to unwind
Small steps here and there
Enjoying the cool air
Still a little shaky
But no more breaky
The shutter clicking
Nature truly ass-kicking
Every minute an adventure
Bring it on September!

September Sunset in Suburbia

“Paradise is a state of being, more than just the name of a suburb or a home” Raquel Cepeda

September Sunset in Suburbia

The sun is setting
Day fading into night
Time to count the blessings
Turn on the street lights
Sooner than later
Slumber will cater
Silence over suburbia
Will replace the hysteria

Don’t blame it on the rain

Photography and Poetry

“Don’t take your toys inside just because it’s raining” Cher

Don’t blame it on the rain

When it rains, it pours
Thunder and lightning
Can be oh so frightning
But don’t run indoors
Yourself into hiding
It can be fun outside
Even if you won’t stay dried
It may be raining
But nothing staining
Just enjoy the ride

Blue Skies, Poetry and Photography

Photography and Poetry

“Nothing but blue skies from now on…”

Blue Skies

Today
A display
Up in the sky
I saw the light
Shining so bright
Feeling high
A big smile
On my face
In this place
Where bliss
Exists
Today

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Photography and Poetry

“Gray skies are just clouds passing over” Duke Ellington

Sky’s Gray Shroud

Up up high
Grayness, filling the sky
Wrapping it tight
Dark as night
Into a shroud
Filled with clouds

A Day in July

Photography & Poetry

“Hello July, please be good!”

A Day in July

Woke up to another day in July
All our hopes were quite high
Expectation was for sunshine
Alas, it had been declined
Instead what was delivered
Left us quite bewildered

Thunder and rain
Oh what a pain
Lips curled in disdain
Nerves quite strained
Maybe take a train
And head for Spain
