“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again” Hal Borland

October Saturday, Part Two

Standing in the sun’s light
Between the tall shadows
Selfies of a different kind
Listening to the echoes
Before the end of twilight
And the rising of the moon
Night time falling soon

“October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master” Elizabeth Enright

October Saturday, Part One

Finally, weekend
Truly a godsend
A time to enjoy and relax
Lift your feet up and chillax

But, being my usual self
Could not just sit down
Grabbed the camera from the shelf
And ran down town

Sunlight on Saturday
Watching the shadows play
Colours of leaves in abundance
The birds and flies doing a dance

Sun warming the air
Not a time to despair
The cold and damp weather
Replaced by light and high pressure

September in Suburbia, Part Three

Roaming around the Hood
Because the weather was really good
Clouds floating in the blue sky
Wishing if only I could fly
The sun warm on my skin
Melting the coldest of Finns
Colours burning bright
Ideas taking flight
Snap, click, snap, click
Hoping to score some great pics
So here they are
I didn’t walk too far
But still got a great bunch
In a time it takes to have lunch

Walkabout

“See me waving ‘see ya later’ as I disappear over the horizon” Crocodile Dundee

Walkabout

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
Never a moment too bad for a stroll
Do not the weather use
As a poor, poor excuse
Unpack your wellingtons
Unhide your dancing shoes
Into to the wide world venture
Whether walking, running or dancing
Might even do a little prancing
Your life soon a great adventure
