Sunny side of Rhodes, Part One

Following the sun
Can be lots of fun
Blue skies, blue seas
As far as the eyes can see
Hike around the highlands
Spend your day shopping
On this little island
There simply is no stopping

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-15)

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 weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

For this week’s breakdown, I have chosen snaps from London, Mallorca and Greece. Go and check out the related posts:

UK, London, The Natural History Museum

Greece, Athens, Acropolis, Travel to History

Mallorca, Palma Nova Holiday Resort

Enjoy!

(Sunday 20-12-2015)

“I don’t generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench” Satchel Paige

A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
