A Photo A Day … August 30 2012

I love the colour of clouds sometimes, and this evening was one of those times. We had a slight thunderstorm today. Well, one flash and a rumble. The skies were varying shades of grey from almost white to almost black, with these shades in the middle. “Red sky at night ..  shepherds delight” or Sailors delight depending on where you come from.

To Feel

To feel Hate
Keeps your heart black

To feel Fear
Keeps your mind in overdrive

To feel Envy
Keeps your eyes green

To feel Anger
Keeps your brain screaming

To feel Sorrow
Keeps your eyes damp

To feel Lust
Keeps your nerves tingling

To feel Pride
Keeps your face bright

To feel Pain
Keeps you knowing you are awake

To feel Happiness
Keeps your body warm

To feel Love
Keeps your heart pounding

To feel ...
Keeps you alive

A Photo A Day … August 29 2012

I’m finding it more and more difficult to photograph things now. I don’t want to take too many photos of the same things. There was a rainbow today, which I naturally photographed, and again it was going into the clouds. But I think it is better when something takes you by surprise and you manage to capture it.

You are strong …

You are strong
{Because you have known weakness}

You are beautiful
{Because you are aware of your flaws}

You are fearless
{Because you have learnt to recognise illusion from reality}

You are wise
{Because you learn from your mistakes}

You are a lover
{Because you have felt hate}

You can laugh
{Because you have known sadness}
