Sky on the road

 

Keep moving forward...

 

 

 

Towards the evening sky.
 

 

 

Its beautiful colours

encouraging to continue.

 

 

 

 

Every new day holds the promise of a beautiful sunset...

 

 

 

 

'Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me,

as is ever so on the road.'
~ Jack Kerouac, On the Road ~

 

 

Yellow extra photochallenge

 

Un soleil, une lumière que faute de mieux, je ne puis appeler que jaune, jaune soufre pâle, citron pâle or...

Que c'est beau le jaune!'

~ Vincent Van Gogh ~

(A sun, a light that for lack of anything better, I can only call yellow, pale sulphur yellow, pale golden lemon... How lovely yellow is!)



This week's assignment on The Daily Post is to  'share a photo that has a little something extra'

The Yellow Hawkweed is beautiful on its own, but this little hoverfly proves that nature holds different shades of one colour.

 

 

Curious Acrobat at work

 

 

Balance like an acrobat

Jump from work to play

 

 

 Some people say I'm a well-dressed rat

But I just let them say... 

 

 

 

'A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps

as you walk the tightrope of life.'

~ William A. Ward ~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Photochallenge: Room ... for moor fun

 

 

There's always room for fun on the moor

'Brennan on the moor. Bold, brave and undaunted was young Brennan on the moor.'

(19^th century ballad about William Brennan, an Irish highwayman)

 

~

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor.

And the highwayman came riding... riding up to the old inn-door.'

(Alfred Noyes, The Highwayman)

 

 

The daily post weekly photochallenge: 'In this week’s photo challenge, share your take on the idea of room — it could be an actual room in your house, a favorite gallery in your local museum, a cubicle at work. You could also take this challenge in a more abstract direction, and show us where you feel like you have room — or lack it.'

Stevie (Western Jackdaw, Corvus monedula)

 

 

 

 

Closed eyes,

Heart not beating,

But a living love.

(Avis Corea)

 

 

Rest in peace, my friend.

Drinker Moth Caterpillar

 

'You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously,



 

'Who are YOU?'

'So you think you're changed, do you?'

 



'One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.'

 

 

'Of the mushroom!'

 

 

Quotes from the Caterpillar in 'Alice in Wonderland' by C.S. Lewis

 

The drinker moth caterpillar (Philudoria potatoria) gets its name from the habit of the caterpillar: it likes to drink dewdrops.
