August Days in Espoo for Daily Photo
“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins
Red
“I see red”
Said Ted
As toward the shed
Painted red
He quickly fled
Unfortunately
A fence,
Also, painted red
Made his trek
Short instead

“Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow” William Shakespeare
Good Night from Suburbia Daily Photo
A good night to One and All!
Wishes,
That the sky on you won’t fall
That the neighbour won’t eat your meatball
That the cat a mouse inside won’t haul
That the kids won’t steal your football
That the computer an update won’t install
And,
That in your dreams you will have a ball
So,
A very good night to One and All!

“She used to tell me that a full moon was when mysterious things happen and wishes come true.”
― Shannon A. Thompson, November Snow
Full Moon for Daily Photo
Full moon on a July’s night
Looming above, like a round kite
The whole court yard alight
From it’s shining bright might
The air quiet and lite
Nature preparing, for a midnight’s rite
Running outside, in delight
Like a moon child, ready for flight

“I don’t want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years” Frank Lampard
Seat Sunday
I have followed the yellow brick road
And it led me to this humble abode
Surrounded by a picket fence
And a green grass oh so dense
Now I am stationed here for all eternity
The yellow bricks stacked behind me
Grass growing tall, reaching to infinity
The inhabitants enjoying me occasionally
Maybe this is the place I will settle
And every day brew me tea in a kettle
I may be made out of wood and metal
But I can be quite sentimental
I am a special bench
Possibly made by the French
Sometimes in the drain I drench
Still, I am quite the mensch 😉

Day Six: “Landscape” — Crop Your Image
Today, let’s walk in the footsteps of masters like Ansel Adams and focus on landscape photography.
Landscapes generally focus on wide, vast depictions of nature and all of its elements, from formations to weather. In this genre of photography, you won’t find much of a human presence: nature itself is the subject. A focus on nature isn’t mandatory, however — you can also capture a sweeping panorama of a city.

My homestead
My homestead
Where I get rested
Where I can clear my head
The place where I am fed
And each night
Go to bed

“A chair fit for a Queen and other Ladies too” Gun Roswell
Under the Tree for Seat Sunday
“Ah, a cool summer’s breeze
I am possibly ready to sneeze
Better sit down on the bench!”
Said the little old wench
As she tightly held her thighs in a clench
Because that damned sneezing
Made her always queasy
And possibly a little uneasy
As to what might start to trickle
She started to giggle
“Oh, hurry up you old fool
And quickly sit down on that damned stool!”

“It’s usually our opposites who complement us best, because they’re the only ones who can balance us out.”

Opposites for The Daily Post
Out with the old
In with the new
Even if it’s made of gold
There’s nothing we can do?

But what if
We change it?
A new coat of paint
To look less quaint?
Looks won’t be deceiving
It’s all in the matter of perceiving
We can hide it
Or even camouflage it
It’s still an old version
Even after the conversion
But we need a little diversion
Even to the strongest aversion
So now, a new lease
And together in peace
With the neighbours of new
And no one says “ew!”

The grey was so dull
It really hurt my skull
Added a dash of colour
Hoping, the sun soon would follow
