Soft waves crashing
Against the shores
‘Nother day over

Saturday Snapshot

Steppin' Out.JPG

Little things, to and fro

Oblivious in the daily go-go

Opportunities aplenty

Kindly find a few or twenty

 

Above or below

Rivers of beauty, wonder flow

Observe what’s around you

Uncensored

Natural

Daily galleries abound.

Friday Fast One

Before the Climb

Before the Climb

Half of the year has already passed and one can either reflect on what was done/not done or plan for the rest of the year ahead. I’ll probably spend the weekend doing a bit of both.

In the meantime, set to take on the steps again inside the Space Needle!

U = Unsuccessful

Unsuccessful describes this month –
Dropped half the alphabet, three-fourths of Camp NaNo
In short, didn’t accomplish much
But that’s how it goes
When the Muse aims high
And Life says ‘no go.’
So, another fun challenge is next on the list,
Whispers the fool – see what doesn’t get missed.

Morning Frame on the Train 2015

Heavenly greens can be seen on the hill, by the sea, in the glint of a friend’s eye.  Beauty surrounds us, waiting to be discovered – open your eyes and try.

Movie Mural – Phoenix, AZ 2016

Today’s response to today’s daily prompt and one-minute writer:

G.jpgreat stories come about from more than just luck
Often, others move about, some with spite
Others with pluck
Determined to reach their goal.

Lost among others or perhaps the
Underdog, persevering
Considerable odds, with a helpful
Key or two

F = Fraudulent Future

Today’s F-response to today’s daily prompt and one-minute writer:

Face on the Wall.jpg

Face on the Wall – Phoenix, AZ 2016

Fear is the gate holding most dreams back
Raking in nightmares on the
Attack of the ‘can’s’ and the ‘do’s’ and
Underestimating the ‘ables’
Detouring the brightness just
Under the surface
Lying because of the lies
Avoiding the change to realize because of
Not
Try

 

Forget the fears or better still
Unload it into the burning fire and
Turn that naysayer into an
Unstoppable force
Reaching your dreams
Evolving on course

Bicyclist on the Wall – Mural in Phoenix, AZ

Today’s A-to-Z response to the daily prompt.

Ever plan to be some place
Somewhere else, see a different face
Culinary offerings completely new
Atmosphere, attitudes, values, too
Plan for a place on the other side of the state or
Even further than that – some different space
