Black Berries

Buried berries in the bush
Pitch black against the colours of lush
Do not eat, they’re poisonous

“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still” Dorothea Lange’

Favourite Photo Of the Week

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view

Favourite Photo Of the Week

So many to choose from
I don’t even know
Where they all come from
But I guess it is the how
I am the only one to blame
If some of them gets the fame
This is what I chose this week
Hope it is what you all seek

Monolith for Fav Foto Friday

“Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution” Ansel Adams

Monolith

Tall, dark and mysterious
Standing by itself, all serious
Staring at it, getting nervous
Or maybe I am, just a little delirious

Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo

Porvoo Old Town for World Wide Wednesday, Part One

“He travels the fastest who travels alone” Rudyard Kipling

Porvoo, Finland

Colourful old buildings
Even graffiti for the chilling
Some of them may be tilting
Life nothing if not thrilling

A work of art?
Or something smart?
A splash of colour
Will leave you wonder
What is beyond there?
A work of art
Or something,
Even more smart?

Simply Red in Mundane Monday

Posted in Mundane Monday 

“I have always been caught by the pull of the unremarkable, by the easily missed, infinitely nourishing beauty of the mundane.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbor

Simply Red

Simple it the word
Easily slurred
But for a mundane day
The colour is grey
With a touch of red
Unravelling the thread

All creatures, Great and Small for Fav Foto Friday

Posted in Fav Foto Friday

“Contrast is what makes photography interesting” Conrad Hall

All creatures, Great and Small

Squirrels, birds and cats
With and without their hats
Kitty sitting on the potty
The vigilant bird on watch
The squirrel named Dotty
Living in the lodge
