Christmas Celebration in a Different Style (Daily Photo 2015-12-25)
Warmth, happiness, sun light
What could be a merrier Yuletide
Than spending the holiday
On this most gorgeous day
The one special day of the year
At the pool, beach or a pier

“Santa has it great. I buy all the toys. He gets all the credit.”
Mrs Claus (Daily Photo 2015-12-24)
Mrs Claus
Without applause
Doing her bid
Without a quid
Yuletide
Without the bride
Of Santa
Would be banter
No jolly
Or celebration folly
For me
Or you
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Now
Sometimes, we get caught up in nostalgia, future fantasy, or both, and we don’t embrace the “now.” For this week’s challenge, take a moment to notice your present, and share a photo of it.
“Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay” Simone de Beauvoir
In the Here and Now
Children’s voices
Echoing in the distance
A dog was barking
The sun warm on my skin
The wind blowing softly
Rippling the water slightly
The fluffy white clouds high
Up in the blue sky
Filtering the rays of the sun
Feeling being the only one
Sitting onto the empty bench
Enjoying the silence
As I sit by myself
Letting moments pass by
A soft content sigh
The only sound
In the here and now
To be found
Happy Holidays to One and All!
“I look my best when I’m totally free, on holiday, walking on the beach” Rosamund Pike

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Helsinki City Centre in Black and White
Welcome to Hel-sinki!
Did you land here quite unexpectedly?
Please, have a look around
It’s more pleasant than it sounds
Nice, clean, safe and poetic
Our small town of the idyllic
We’re way up North
But well while the worth
Of making a short trip
Even with a tall ship
So stay a while, take a look around
You may be surprised of what you found

Fabulous Friday or Ode to my Shiny Shoes
My shiny golden shoes
No time for the blues
Singing and dancing
In my shoes of fancy
My lovely golden shoes
Act as some kind of muse
They might be flashy
But I feel quite dashy
I may not be Howard Hughes
And I don’t need any booze
With minimal financing
I am out celebrating
Thank Goodness
For Fabulous Fridays!

Lift
Going up, going down
Never stops on its own
A pater noster
Of a modern kind
A machine more efficient
Is very hard to find

Aeroplane
High up in the skies
Through the clouds it flies
The sheer size
Leaves you mesmerized
Well oiled machinery
Pulling together amazingly
