Harlem nocturne

He drew in some air

Lifted the horn to his lips

The music played out

Like an innocent soul

Playing against the night sky.

Notes drifting on the breeze

Over rooftops and into open windows

Accompanying young lovers, and

Soothing the restless minds,

Of those lacking in sleep

A tear to the eye of some,

As the music sparks a memory

Bringing comfort to the lonely.

This weeks’ Photo Challenge is “Elemental”.  This photo was taken as we watched this storm blow in from the sea.. moments later we were engulfed in the middle of it..it was spectacularly loud and bright with thunder and lightening all around us.  Then just as suddenly..it passed over and it was back to bright sunshine.

Now here in the South West of the UK, we have had a strange Summer…as is usual!  Today it feels like that first day of Autumn.. although we have well over a month before the offical start.  I decided not to be too grumpy about the weather and grabbed my camera for some raindrop photos.

The Daily Post topic is Satisfaction.. Is there anything more satisfying than swimming in warm water in a Sicilan infinity pool overlooking the ocean on a cloudless sunny day?

Swallow: symbols of time passing

This week’s photo challenge is to share a picture that symbolizes transitions, change, and the passing of time.

Every Summer, we eagerly wait for the arrival of our Swallows..and when they depart in late Summer, we know that Autumn and Winter are just round the corner.
