Throwback Thursday 2016-01-21

Each Thursday we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.

Here are a few featured today for your enjoyment today:

One Year Blog Anniversary: Rantings of a Third Kind

anniversary-2x

“Dear Reader,

A blog about everything and nothing.
Fiction, fact, poetry, odes, homages, photography.
Humour, yet some serious thoughts.
And it’s all done in the best possible taste!

Enjoy!

Gun Roswell”

 

It is one year since I wrote those words as I started the blog: Rantings Of A Third Kind. A thousand and one hundred and forty three posts later I am happily celebrating my one year anniversary for this blog.

Thank you all my followers and readers for the continued support and interest in “everything and nothing” as the blog tag line suggests. “It’s all done in the best possible taste” and hoping to continue along the same line!

Keep calm and keep reading Rantings!

 

In honour of today and the anniversary, I am reposting my first ever blog post:

An homage to David Bowie, RIP

You left our little place
Gone back to outer space
This is ground control:
We are sorry to see you go

He is the Starman
Flying high, high up
Into the open skies
Back into the stratosphere
Only to disappear
Leaving behind the music
For us to hear

I Thought My Life Would Include More Impromptu Sing-a-longs

Call me crazy
Or a little hazy
Mostly amazing
And feeling like a daisy

Bursting into song
With the bang of a gong

In the middle of the street
Quick on my feet
On a rush hour bus
Without any fuss

Laughing, prancing
Singing, dancing

A dull working day
Blowing my mind away
Standing in the checkout line
Feeling absolutely fine

Laughing, prancing
Singing, dancing

Call the white coats
And have me committed?
Wouldn’t you rather
join me and admit it
A sing-a-long
Was just the thing
You needed
All along

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Life is but a dream

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 (2016-01-15)

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 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 week’s breakdown, I have chosen snaps from London, Mallorca and Greece. Go and check out the related posts:

UK, London, The Natural History Museum

Greece, Athens, Acropolis, Travel to History

Mallorca, Palma Nova Holiday Resort

Enjoy!
