“All right, Mr. DeMille,
I’m ready for my close-up”
Gloria Swanson -Sunset Boulevard
Close-Ups
Little yellow dandelions
With all the fellow yellow flowers
Powerful, like lions
Growing strong, despite September
Possibly still yellow, come November

Close-Ups
Close-ups
Shots of stuff
No huff nor puff
Objet d’arts
Or something smart
Check them out
Let out a shout
If you like
Or just out of smite

Close-Ups
I am soft
But I have thorns
I feel pretty
In my pink colours
I am hard
Watch out!
Better not land
On my rocks

August Days in Espoo for Daily Photo
"Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it." ~Russel Baker
Funky Mushrooms
Feel like going on a trip
A really psychedelic like trip?
You do not need a ship
Just take a bite and do a flip

Up the Apple Tree
Up, up the old apple tree
Trying to catch many apples for free
Just hoping the neighbours won’t see
Otherwise they could charge me a fee!

Mayweed
Growing like weed
No need to seed
Or even them feed
But then again,
They are called “mayweed”

Last Day of Summer for Daily Photo
Last day of Summer
Oh, what a bummer
Next stop, Autumn
Not so much fun
Beginning of September
Nothing, to remember
Or maybe, just maybe
The season of rainy
Can be fun,
After all?

“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins
Peeing Verboten
“Pee, pee, pee”
The lady told Fifi
As the little dog his leg
Lifted up and instead
Of heading the warning
It was too early a morning
And so, the little pine tree
Had gotten its fee
Yellow liquid coating
All over was floating
“What a nice decor,
Guess I just scored!”

“To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
― Emily Dickinson
Clever Clovers for Daily Photo
Clever clovers green and white
Clever clovers strong and bright
Clever clovers fluffy and light
Enjoy them on green grass
Enjoy them in vase
Enjoy them in a salad mixer
Needless to say
Clever clovers
Are great in any way!

Day Three: “Water” — Image Orientation
* We all have stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it symbolizes a place we’ve left behind, or one we dream of visiting.
Water
“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir” David Bowie
Drip Drop
“Drip drop
Drip drop…”
“This will not stop,
Before my ears will pop!
Damned pretty rain drops!”
“Drip drop
Drip drop…”
