The Trucker’s Love…
Kate sighed in pleasure, sipping her cup of tea and listening to her mother tell the hallmark love story of her grandparents.
No matter how many times she heard the same story, it never failed to satisfy and she hoped that someday she would find the kind of love that they had shared.
Grandpa Robert, a handsome sweet talker had fallen in love with Daisy May, the Sheriff’s daughter on his regular trucking trip through town.
Young Robert had convinced Daisy to elope with him, leaving behind an arranged marriage and an irate father.
He kept his promise to take Daisy places that she had never been before and for many years to come, they covered long miles together; even their first child, Maisie was born on the road.
Though its original owners had long passed on – mere week’s of each other’s death – the old truck’s head still sat in its’ prized position. As integral to the land as the homestead that they had built.
Thank you, Mike Vore for this week’s photo and my lady P.J. for hosting us.

The Portrait of A Fly
Mundane Monday Challenge is created to find beauty in almost everything.
The challenge is simple. Find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
It kept flitting around me in a pesky manner.
My initial desire to swat it was overtaken by the desire to take its photo.
After a patient wait on the fly, it finally perched on the shadowy wall. Luckily my camera was within reach and I took a quick shot.
After the photo shoots, I didn’t mind its peskiness as much.
Midnight Motivations and Musings.
Sometimes we are so down that we wonder when it would all end. When would our climb through the valley get to the mountain top?
The truth is that all that time spent at the bottom helps you to develop the muscles that will take you to the top and when you do get to the top, you appreciate the climb far more.
Hold on tight to your rope whatever bottom you may be climbing out from. It may happen sooner than you think.

Every Little Moment…
I sit on a bed of sand
aware of the time ticking by
nothing but the desire to empty my mind
I simply watch the waves roll by.
I stand under the drip drops of the rain
aware that the drops are soaking my hair
I couldn’t care less and stick out my tongue
to gather a couple of rain drops.
Every moment mustn’t be spent
running after ever elusive time
but being aware of the moments matter
and enjoying every bit of it counts most.

Shadows are silver linings. You should have no fear of them because when you have a shadow, it means that you are standing in the light.
Glimpses of Lagos – Echoes of my Neighbourhood
This week found me in Lagos, Nigeria. Life has been on the fly and fun as well. Below are some photos that were taken on the go.
There’s no place quite like Lagos. Love or hate it, it seeps under your skin and leaves deep impressions that will always stay with you.
It’s a boisterous city filled with the poor and the extremely wealthy, shanties and mansions, the good, the bad and the downright ugly sides of society.
Lagos is Lagos and well-deserving of a full post that I will explore sometime soon.
Catalonia presented by Lady Lee looks like a lovely place to explore. Don’t you just love the fact that there are so many places on Earth to visit? My travel list is ever so long 😉
If you would like to participate, the challenge is quite simple and you can find out more about it through this link.

In little drops,
your love penetrates
it wears down my inhibitions
it breaks down my suspicions.
