Weekly Travel Theme: Luminosity

Ailsa has asked us to be LUMINOUS in our displays this week.

My shining examples are below but you can check out other brighter pictorial essays by clicking the underlined link.

A Season Of Rest

It’s the sound of water

Lapping at the dock

As my daughter dangles

Her feet in the midnight blue

Of a summer lake.

Walden Pond

Walden Pond

It’s a walk around the block

With my little dogs

And a grey rock

Steeple reaching for the blue heavens

On an autumn day.

Kylemore Abbey

Kylemore Abbey

As the moon sings

Her cyclic songs

Over all the world

I forget if only for now

That the world is loud.

It’s the swish of shovels.

Snow piled high,

Plows hold the world hostage.

And I am in

A season of rest.

Travel Theme: Frames

This week I am taking some time to tag along with Ailsa across the world to FRAME THE WORLD in my camera lens. To see how others have framed the world click the underlined link and rocket over to “Where’s My Backpack?”

Here are my frames:

Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Treat.”

Well Trick or Treat has come and gone. While I don’t celebrate Halloween I do have to say it’s never the wrong time for a treat!

A whole table of seasonal treats!

I am looking forward to the treat of Thanksgiving. It's not just the food but the family and the quiet that settles on us after a good dinner.

Until then I imagine I will treat myself daily to my favorite treat of all...good coffee.
