Time to shine

79 light within a
Live every moment, laugh every day, love your life.

The light in the bottle: I don’t know if I like the intended meaning in the caption, or the one owed to the printer’s mishap: Love your liver (especially since this light is caught in a wine bottle.

79 light within c

The light in the hat: The photo was taken on a Saint Martin’s Day parade. This was the guitarist who led the procession of nursery school children through the village.

79 light within b

The light in the pumpkin: Not quite the right season but too good to omit.

This is for Nancy’s A Photo a Week: lit from within.

More lit up photos can be found at a drop of a hat … I mean click of a mouse.

Fire and ice

For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: hot and cold.

Why not go to extremes for a change?

Wine time

76 lines

It may be the first Sunday of Advent but I am not quite ready to let go of autumn.  Lines.  Rows and rows of growing wine – Riesling, Grauburgunder, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Shiraz … I love them all.   PS: Today’s Oxford Dicitionary’s Word of the Day is bibulous, aka: excessively fond of alcoholic beverages 😉

For One Word Sunday: lines.   More lineage can be found here.

A small step for a child

013 step

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
– Lao Tzu

Sometimes this step takes courage.  But it’s worth it.

A quote quoted by Travel with Intent.  More photos inspired by this saying are found here.

What else can I cover up?

7 cold

This is my contribution to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: cold.  Cee wrote: “Think about what makes you want to put on a jacket or sweater.”  Well, I usually take my cue from other people, in this case our grandson.

Krötenwanderung

Krötengasse

This is a groaner in German and I have to explain.  A funny synonym for money is Kröten, or toads.  So I found this sign where to find the next branch of the local bank, which happens to be in Toad Lane, particularly fitting for One Word Sunday: money.

The literal meaning of Krötenwanderung is toad migration but it can be used in the  figurative sense: when a stream of my money wanders from my pockets into the pockets of an unscrupulous organisation or company.
