Gentle and Wild

Gentle and Wild

Ocean so blue and calm. Gentle and still for recreation and fun. Rock you in the rolling waves. Invites to sit and listen to the sound of silence. Only broken by a screaming seagull. A boat passing by. Fishermen out to harvest the rich gifts of the giant blue. Smell the salty breeze, filling your lungs. Fill you with life itself.

There it stands, proud in on a tiny rock. The Väcker lighthouse. Tall to be seen and give ample warning. Lights the way in the night. Green and red. Be sure to choose wisely. Proud to show its rusty scars. Scars from salt splashing winds.

Roaring and wild. Incited by the wind. The howling strong wind. Bashing the waves against everything in its way. Try to stand, and wind will push you down. Splash saltwater in your face. Winds howling, drowns the seagulls screams. Pray that all has found a safe harbor. Give and take. Be sure to show respect.

Just a few days between the pictures. Ha de Gött!

Hot

Hot

In times you are distant and cold. Just stands there like a black orb. Then I open you up. Light you up, turn you on. Set you on fire. Get you flaming hot. Your passion burn my eyes. My skin.

I inhale your every scent. Your flaming smoking hot gases. Gently place the flesh to your burn. It frizzles as it meets your glowing bars. Together we spice things up. Feeding my desire. I love you my little Barbie Que.

Inspired by John Malone and my Aussie friends who has the cute nickname, Barbie for this fantastic cooking device. The grill. Ha de Gött!

Grumpy

Grumpy

The grumpy old mountain ogre. With his stone faced stare. Don’t disturb his peaceful waters. Thinking of the better days, way back when. Discipline and respect when he roamed the world. The stuff he has seen. Doesn’t say much, just a rumble now and then.

One day Mother Earth will let him loose again.

Hope you see him too. Ha de Gött!

Light

Light

I took this picture trying to capture the very special light. Is this picture hopeful or frightening?

Sunlight piercing through the dark clouds. Blue skies shows like hope. A house stands firmly on the rock. Shelter against the howling wind. Beams of hopeful light shines on the boats safe on land. Shines in the glittering water, like a child laughter. Bright crest on the clouds like bird wings.

Thickening clouds cover the sun. Blue skies turn darker and darker. Shadows eating the light. The structure on the rocks turns to a scary fortress. Birds fly nervously to take shelter. Water shivers in the cold wind. Clouds turns into deeper gray like a cold November day.

Two ways of describing the same picture. Which one fits you today?

Drop

Drop

What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Clustered together with others
Strong carry tons of steel
Together as one
Life, feeding a world
Glue to the chain of food
Flying high up in the sky
Momentum from wind and sun
Master basic states of physics
Cold Solid, tempered liquid, gaseous hot
What am I, but a drop in the ocean
Circle of life, life itself

Water, H2O, a chemical compound that covers 71% of the Earths surface. All living organism depend on it. We should treat it with the respect it deserves. Ha de Gött!

The Hare & Duck

The Hare & Duck

I listen around, easily scare
I'm just a lonely, little hare
You sit there, so full of luck
You can fly, being a duck
Yes, in any weather
We just spread our feather
Finding out track
By sounding our quack
I'm fast to outrun
The man with a gun
I'm in a special class
Expert to hide in grass
But how do you escape the hunter?
Oh, we just duck!

Wishing you a happy weekend. Ha de Gött!

McMutton

McMutton

Crazy old Ram McMutton
Built an empire out of cotton
Was a bit of a fool
Better to set up in wool
In despair began to weep
Lost his flock, the sheep
Went to competitor mr Wolf
Now graze on meadows for golf
Managed by a speckled beagle
Clear from people hitting an eagle
His wife, the lovely Ewe
Stops this poem now, leave

Was not sure if I should press Publish or Delete but I guess I’m fearless today. Ha de Gött!
