“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!”

“My photography is the result of being there at the right moment” Rene Burri

Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-20

For this week’s favourite photo, I have chosen the one tagged as “Tricolour”.

This photograph is related to the recent events in the most gorgeous city in the world, that of Paris, France. It was originally posted for the “SL WEEK” photo challenge, run by Sylvain Landry , titled “Bleu, Blanc, Rouge”.

A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of “Bleu Blanc Rouge“
SL-WEEK 20: Bleu Blanc Rouge

In honour of the brave French people and to their courage to keep on living

“Don’t pray for Paris, Be Free !”

Bleu Blanc Rouge
No time to sing the blues
It is the time to choose
Freedom

Blue, White, Red
The colours for which
So many have bled
Freedom

The three coloured symbol
In its presence we feel humble
Even though very simple
We can only think of
Freedom

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

“I quote others only in order the better to express myself” Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-11-17

For today’s quote, I actually have two for the price of one. And with my personal twist of course 😛

Usually it is nice to get feedback, especially the positive kind. Unfortunately sometimes (read more often than usual) you get feedback or opinions from people, who need to voice their own point of view for anything and everything.

For myself, a “like” is sufficient and indicates someone enjoyed your offering. If you have something valuable to add, then make a comment, hopefully the positive kind. But in this writer’s opinion, if you don’t like what you hear, read or see, just move along 😉

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, move along”

“Opinions are like voids in the derrière; everyone has one”

Keep calm and keep on quoting!

In honour of Caturday, for all cats everywhere

“A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere” Groucho Marx

Caturday, 2015-10-24

When the black cat
Was crossing the street
She was chasing a rat
Trying to act discreet
Hiding behind a big hat
Awaiting her treat

The grounded bat
Knew he tasted sweet
Stood still on the mat
There was no time to greet
Only time, for combat

After a long while
Both standing still
Trying to act hostile
But without thrill
So instead of the usual
They decided in mutual

This tale’s end
Will the norm bend
Cat and mouse decided
To shake their paws delighted
The lesson of this tale?
Sometimes it’s good to fail
