The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.

I got into an empty lift two days ago to head up to the 23rd floor of an office complex and I was busy ruminating in my head over what I wanted to say to the person that I was going to meet when a crawly movement caught my eye.
Believe me when I say I literally squealed and hopped in the air, but on a closer look I saw that it was a GECKO!
Phew! I know that they are insectivorous lizards and don’t feed on humans, however between Gecko and I, we maintained a respectable distance since I couldn’t very well jump out of the lift 😉
If you want to know more about Gecko’s you can read this up 20 interesting facts about them that I googled up.
Have a great week.

Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
Wonderful, evocative poetry by a talented writer. Left me hungry for more. Jacqueline can write! Linda Bethea
If you enjoy my works and would like to do so, you can fuel my creativity with a slice of cake or coffee
a cooking pot and twisted tales 
Oh my god. I’m scared of reptiles too! I would’ve stopped the lift and taken the stairs if I were you. I totally understand the ‘respectable distance’ you maintained!

He,he. Climbing to the 23rd floor is not a joke. Once, I saw it was a Gecko, I simply stuck close to the entrance of the elevator while watching it closely 🙂

It was too late, he was on the ground, scurrying around when I noticed him. Eek.

I jump easily so I probably would’ve jumped out of the lift. 🙂

That’s the laziest gecko I’ve ever seen. Most of them climb up the walls, not take the elevator. 🙂
