Tuesday Photo Challenge – Anticipation
When I hear anticipation, the first thing I think of is a child’s anticipation this time of the year. But then, being a teacher for many years, I have had the privilege of following so many youngsters becoming fully fledged grown-ups.
Nothing beats graduating day, with all their hopes and dreams shining in their eyes!
Somehow I love goats – the way they walk and move, their beautifully shaped faces and slender legs. So for Cee this week – only these beauties!
Another frosty morning with crisp air, flower pods, maple and oak leaves. It is snowing today, so maybe next time – even more of whiteness.
Tina’s challenge this week is Seasonal – so I start off in the middle of winter, with snow. I am fortunate enough to live in a country with four seasons – and I want it to stay that way. Many poets and writers have beautifully expressed their feelings on seasons – enjoy:
“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
– Ode to the West Wind
”In summer, the song sings itself.”
– William Carlos Williams
”It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside”.
– Maud Hart Lovelace
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
– Anne of Green Gables
“No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face.”
[The Autumnal]”
– The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose
”Frost is the most sophisticated of poets.” – Peter Davison
”Winter is not a season, it’s a celebration.”
-Anamika Mishra
Thank you, Tina, for the opportunity to celebrate our seasons!
Frank at Dutch Goes the Photo gives us the challenge: Challenge.
Well, this young man is my great challenge every day…and Totti’s…
…but now he is 7 months old and I believe he is coming along nicely. We train every day, and his school teachers tell him he is a smart and talented student. Next week will be the last meeting before Christmas, and then we will see if he shall pass the exam…
Christmas in Sweden also means many Christmas markets to visit, where local people can put their work on display, and there is a lot of chatting and big smiles. This year we only visited one market, and came home with some lovely presents of course…
This young woman was a talented painter with somewhat a style of her own.
And there were even younger participants… mother and daughter sold flowers and decorations. Everything works out well when you are smiling!
Paula of ”Lost in Translation” asks us to use special colours this Thursday – and I learned a new word again: Maroon
