“The cold never bothered me anyways”
Frozen Water
But when the blue moment rises
Even the bravest of them seizes
And in the end, all waters freeze

Frozen Water: One
Posted in Photography 101: Water & Orientation (Day Three)
“The cold never bothered me anyways”
Frozen Water
In the midst of all silent and frozen
The cool liquid puts up a strong fight
Surrounded by powder of white
The stream still runs wild and brazen

Middle of the Road

“When I’m in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I’m in a movie” Ryan Adams
Middle of the Road
Not quite the main street of San Francisco
Certainly not the hippest lane in Seoul
It’s just a quaint itty-bitty place called Espoo
Right in the middle of nowhere
Somewhere
Near the North Pole

Celebrating International Women’s Day (8th of March)
Poetry, Humour, Celebration
Happy International Women’s Day!
International Women’s Day (IWD) (http://www.internationalwomensday.com), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is celebrated on March 8 every year. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political, and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended the culture of many countries, primarily in Europe, especially those in the Soviet Bloc. In some regions, the day lost its political flavor, and became simply an occasion for people to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. In other regions, however, the political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner. Some people celebrate the day by wearing purple ribbons.
“I know who I am. I am not perfect. I’m not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I’m one of them” Mary J. Blige
Woman
What a wondrous creature is a woman
How unique, noble and oh so stunning
Smart, sexy, able and very, very funny
Call her…
If your house is a flooding
And you need help with the plumbing
Call her…
If your band is a bumming
And you need someone a drumming
Call her…
If the weather is making you grunting
And you need someone for shining
Call her…
Simply
If you need someone for hugging
Happy Women’s Day to One and All!

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” Sun Tzu
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-03-08
For this week’s quote, I have chosen the adage of friends versus enemies. Most of us may have found out who your true friends are, when push comes to shove.
Therefore, the original version of keeping one’s enemies closer easily translates to this humorous version of
“With friends like that who needs enemas?”

Sunrise over Suburbia
Posted in Photography 101: Home (Day One)
“Home is where the heart is?”
Sunrise over Suburbia
The yellow sunrise above the rooftops
Residents slowly leaving for their jobs
When the last of them away have run
And silence has taken over the fun
Another week in Suburbia has begun

“Yesterday and tomorrow cross and mix on the skyline. The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets, one waits.” Carl Sandburg
Daily Photo: Sky’s Lines
White lines drawn onto the bluest of skies
Let your mind wander and fantasize
What wonders they might symbolize
Or are they just mundane objects glamourized
