Weightless, One

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Weightless

Some of the things that always remind me of gravity include (but are certainly not limited to):
* Dancing all night long after the age of 30.
* Carrying a human baby for more than three minutes.
* News of a plane crash right before I embark on a trip (because that’s when all planes crash).
* Putting on skis for the first time in a couple of years.
* Building blocks. Especially building blocks.

Weightless, One

Wings spread to the widest
When on the wind she rides
Feelings of being fearless
When up in the air she is,
Weightless

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

Family 

Family you are born to
Family you can make
They may not always be what you want
But be sure to give them a break

“My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive” Buzz Aldrin

Favourite Photo Friday 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-08)

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 shoot 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 particular post I have chosen three sets of photographs in three separate posts:

* The Finnish Dream: The idyllic setting of living for a Finn, a cottage on an island near or in the capital area and in the warmth of never ending summer, of course!
* Lighthouses: Two lighthouses for this post; One from the island of Evia, Greece. The other one from the Finnish southern most archipelago, the Söderskär Lighthouse.
* On the boat: An activity very dear to me, leisure time on a boat, with images from Cyprus and Verbania, Italy.

Enjoy!

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Circle

“With 2016 officially here, we face forward to take on what’s next. It’s a time of endings and beginnings, so I wanted a broad theme that could be simple, fun, and festive, but also complex and introspective. And so, circle it is.”

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

Sun

During the early morning hours
Or for the late evening flowers
The big ball of light
Showing its might
Can’t live without it
It lifts up your spirits
To your power we freely submit
Oh sun, sun, sun
No, this is not a pun

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

From the port window
Flying up high
Up in the blue sky
Close to the exit
Going through the checklist
Just in case…
