Blue and Black

Leafless branches
Dark against the sky
Scary some say
But I am taking my chances

Thriving in the sun
The little ones
Of which
Trees are to become

This week, share a photo of something vibrant. Let’s wash the web with a rainbow of colors to keep the winter gloom at bay.

“I like light, color, luminosity. I like things full of color and vibrant” Oscar de la Renta

FOUR:

On the bare black branches
Which leaves have now neglected
The last evening light reflected
As the sun slowly dances
Into the night’s darkness

“There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same” Carlos Santana

From Sunrise to Sunset, Part Two: Daytime

Leaves have fallen on the ground
The sun hanging low in the horizon
The warm colours painting the trees
The warm red as far as eye can see
November’s day cool and crispy
The weather maybe a little misty

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia

When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score

The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents

Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure

So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home
