“Writers aren’t exactly people… They’re a whole bunch of people trying to be one person” F Scott Fitzgerald

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-12

We all have a little writer in us wanting to break free.

For this week’s quote, I have chosen a quote fitting for all us calling ourselves writers. Despite the fact we enjoy what we do and would not change it for the world. Still, sometimes we hit a block for one reason or another and then, we secretly wish to have some magic means to complete our stories.

“All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories” Neil Gaiman

“Oh Gravity, Thou Art a Heartless Bitch” – Sheldon Cooper – The Big Bang Theory

Weightless, Two

Gliding across the skies
Between the clouds she flies
Sometimes out loud she cries
But up there, no one hears
Of her fears

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

“Remember, as far as everyone knows, we are a nice, normal family!”

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

“Now is the winter of our discontent” William Shakespeare

Sunset

A flash of light
Breaking the gray skies
It was a sight
But oh how time flies
The sun
Has set

Footsteps

There are no missteps
Just follow my footsteps
And you may find
A reward of a different kind..

“You can’t get too much winter in the winter” Robert Frost

Window view

Outside it’s cool and crispy
The clouds are hanging low
It’s just another day in January
With quite a lot of snow
Sitting in my home office
The images quite flawless
Admiring the window views
In my hand my favourite brew

“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!
