You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars” Gary Allan

The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon

In the darkness
Of the silent night
Staring into the blackness
With only guiding light
The crescent moon
Eyes fully tuned
Watching each step
So not to misstep
From the narrow road
With a stride slowed
The dark side tempting
But towards the light bending
Which side will win
And paint your skin
With its mark

“When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism” David Starr Jordan

Hidden Moon

Before the rising sun
Let’s have some fun
In the darkness of the night
Not a living soul in sight
In the moonlit sky
It is hard to deny
One’s true nature
Without any failure
Singing to a different tune
When howling at the moon

“Create around one at least a small circle where matters are arranged as one wants them to be” Anna Freud

Moon

Crescent moon
Full moon
A big white balloon
Wrapped up in a dark cocoon
Silence, the signature tune
Except,
When you are howling
At the moon

“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls” George Carlin

The Dark Side of the Moon

If you are howling at the moon
You know it’s not twelve in the noon
Maybe doing a little dance
Around the garden in the nude prance
Paying homage to the big white ball in the sky
Whether down on the ground or up high
Some of us are more night people than others
If you think someone it bothers
Just tell them never mind, be kind
Let out a big smile
Tell them no tall tails
And if all else fails
Moon them!

“A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away.” ― Eudora Welty

Moon and Sun

Early morning blue skies
With the crescent moon up high
The sun soon to be rising
Both of them each other sizing
Neither of them compromising
Soon enough, two bright lights
Shining up in the skies

“Never trust a computer you can’t throw out a window” Steve Wozniak

Window View 

In the early morning hours
As I am jumping into my car
I look out the window
Only to find the moon
Brightening my path

IMG_20160129_082241

Arriving at the office
To an early morning meeting
I left without eating
So just coffee must do
As I listen to the others
Playing their part
In this life we know as office

IMG_20160129_090911

I let my eyes wander
Towards the closest window
Only to find
A most beautiful sunrise
Sky painted red
But here inside instead
The only view for me
Is through the peephole
Known as a window
But oh, what a view

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art” Ansel Adams

Moon, Moon, where art thou?

Moon, moon
Where art thou moon?
Come out from your hiding
On the nightly path guiding
Before off the trail
I go slipping and sliding

Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-22)

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 week’s breakdown, I have chosen three photographs each from the following topics:

All creatures, Great and Small
Ready for the Close up
Moon, Moon, where art thou?
Early Bird catches the Sunrise

Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

Full Moon over Suburbia (Daily Photo 2016-01-11)

Full moon tonight
Shining, ever so bright
Hanging over suburbia
Fair warning for slight
Hysteria
