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!

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!

Got to go

Got to go

You say I'm full of it
Now enough, I quit
Sat on my bench
Spread your stench
Flies buzzing around
You just making sound
Reading all the paper
Then reused it later
Now forever this is halted
By nature I am bolted

Today I came across an abandoned house and this outhouse. I just start to write and see where the words take me. Perhaps I need to see somebody… Got to go, ha de Gött!

Buzzard

Buzzard

Soaring up high
Free in the sky
Detached from ground
Watching for prey
Elegantly upwind find
Scanning ground
Food or threat
Free or just hungry
Dinner chased away
I wish I could fly
She wish she could eat

This common buzzard (Buteo buteo) and its mate flies over me several times when walking in nature. To spite me they stay in the sun or behind trees so I can’t get a clear shot. This time I managed to get this okay shot of this fantastic bird.

Ha de Gött!
