Suburban Living for Mundane Monday

Something old
Something new
Something borrowed
Something blue

An image from yesteryear
On an odd surface appeared
Reflected against the modern
In this city of the northern
A reminder of older times
When living was ‘roses and wine’
Or so they say,
To keep the youth astray

But whether,
Something old
Or whether,
Something new
Even with
The best of view
Both still could be
Golden

Good Night from Suburbia Daily Photo

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow” William Shakespeare

Good Night from Suburbia Daily Photo

A good night to One and All!

Wishes,
That the sky on you won’t fall
That the neighbour won’t eat your meatball
That the cat a mouse inside won’t haul
That the kids won’t steal your football
That the computer an update won’t install
And,
That in your dreams you will have a ball

So,
A very good night to One and All!

Day Six: “Landscape” — Crop Your Image

Today, let’s walk in the footsteps of masters like Ansel Adams and focus on landscape photography.

Landscapes generally focus on wide, vast depictions of nature and all of its elements, from formations to weather. In this genre of photography, you won’t find much of a human presence: nature itself is the subject. A focus on nature isn’t mandatory, however — you can also capture a sweeping panorama of a city.

My homestead
Where I get rested
Where I can clear my head
The place where I am fed
And each night
Go to bed

Mundane Monday

Monday, Monday
Where art thou Monday?
Yesterday it was Sunday
Soon the day turns to Tuesday
Did I miss Monday?
Perhaps, I thought of a different day
Simply, because the sunshine carried me away
Oh Monday, Monday
Why cannot it always be a fun day?
