A September Day in Espoo, In the Street

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul… but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” Peggy Toney Horton

A September Day in Espoo, On the Street

Heading to the streets
Stumbling on my feet
But not to worry
I was in no hurry
Luckily someone
Had left the seat out

A September Day in Espoo, Home Base

“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul… but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” Peggy Toney Horton

A September Day in Espoo, Home Base

Hopeful of a little sunshine
Trying to unwind
Small steps here and there
Enjoying the cool air
Still a little shaky
But no more breaky
The shutter clicking
Nature truly ass-kicking
Every minute an adventure
Bring it on September!

Bottled, Free, Pink

“Pink is not just a colour, it is an attitude”

Bottled, Free, Pink

Even if I am bottled
I still feel free
Because I am pretty
Pretty in Pink

SL-Week 11: Flare

Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

“I actually had to use Industrial Light & Magic to remove lens flare in a couple of shots, which is, I know, moronic. But I think admitting you’re an addict is the first step towards recovery” J.J. Abrams

SL-Week: Flare

Looking up into the skies
Narrowing my eyes
From the blinding glare
The sun’s bright flare
The warmth on my skin
And the feeling within
Nature’s awesome beauty
Makes me wanna boogie-woogie

Autumn Time

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” Albert Camus

Autumn Time

The daylight is getting shorter
The darkness is getting longer
The skies are turning into gray
But, nature has a funny way
To cheer us up when we are down
Turn our lips into an upside frown
The colours revealed in abundance
Soon will turn the reluctance
Into joy and wonderment
Stop for this moment
And leave us in an awe

“That’s my spot” Sheldon Cooper

My Spot

I love to travel
I like to work
I am a social kind of extrovert
Life will take me to many places
Different people different spaces
But in the end what matters the most
Is always returning to my favourite post
My Spot
Right, where I left it

September Sunset in Suburbia

“Paradise is a state of being, more than just the name of a suburb or a home” Raquel Cepeda

September Sunset in Suburbia

The sun is setting
Day fading into night
Time to count the blessings
Turn on the street lights
Sooner than later
Slumber will cater
Silence over suburbia
Will replace the hysteria

Shadow play

“A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow” Djuna Barnes

Shadow play

Playing hide and seek
With the part of me
That is truly unique
If you want to complete
The whole picture
Then look closely
In the image of ghostly
There might be a fracture
Which reveals all

Photography & Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

“My favourite poem is the one that starts ‘Thirty days hath September’ because it actually tells you something” Groucho Marx

September

Oh bitter sweet September
The time for splendor
The nature soon covered
With a variety of beautiful colours
The illusion of warmth
Before the storm
