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!

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-15)

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

For this week’s breakdown, I have chosen snaps from London, Mallorca and Greece. Go and check out the related posts:

“Writers aren’t exactly people… They’re a whole bunch of people trying to be one person” F Scott Fitzgerald

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-01-12

We all have a little writer in us wanting to break free.

For this week’s quote, I have chosen a quote fitting for all us calling ourselves writers. Despite the fact we enjoy what we do and would not change it for the world. Still, sometimes we hit a block for one reason or another and then, we secretly wish to have some magic means to complete our stories.

“All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories” Neil Gaiman

A Seat fit for a Queen

A royal chair look-alike
A regular seat in disguise
A very clever ploy
For this seatly decoy

“Cats are like music: It is foolish to try to explain their worth to those who do not appreciate them”

The Girl and The Cat

Would you look at that!
The girl with the cat
On the sofa, laying flat

No time to chase a rat
No time for a little chat
Not even an eyelid will bat

No time for the internet
Nothing playing on the cassette
Nothing moves, on the chess set

If you want to bet
The only comment you get
“What the heck,
Are you staring at!”
