“Men love women but, even more than that, men love cars.” Christian Mckay
It was just interesting to watch the smile and gleam in the eyes of these gentlemen as they admired the ritzy, gleaming red, little ride.
I actually think this red ride is more my thing than theirs. I can see myself in a bigger version to accommodate my ampleness, with the roof down, my scarf and locks flying in the air as I nip about town đ
Well, let’s keep that thought in my mind’s eye for now.

She is amazing at describing love and life in her poems. She creates such beautiful images with her words. Truly, she is a talented writer and Iâm so excited to have her poetry book and to continue reading through it.
On Thursdayâs, I share pictures about âEchos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
Blooming flames
More flames
Resting under the flames of the forest
Charging phone at the free bus-stop charging point.
Purchasing tickets
I want that trolley of coconuts, but I only bought two đ
I had no idea Kenny Rogers had a roastery. I thought he only played country music. Out of curiosity, I stepped in…no country music was played.
Walkabout Union train station.
The lady in the remarkable outfit caught my eye
Random photo through the train window
Mall of the Emirates station. People lie under the Palms to relax
Tourists chilling under the stations overpass.
Took a moment to chill at this nice post. They have good sandwich.
I saw Montreal..oh well the hotel at least.
A white blinged up Stallion but I see no Sir Galahad đ
I didn’t see the owner. Would have loved to know what he sells, but since it’s Ramadan fasting time so no open sales of food items.
I’ve seen the large and interesting vending machine doting the cityscape. You can practically make your grocery purchases from it.
It’s all good that the trees and plants are blooming at this time of the year. The flame of the forest’s orange blooms are vibrant and offers people a colourful cool spot to take cover from the Sun that’s literally baking hot.
During the weekend’s, I always find a couple of hours when I disengage from family affairs and take that time to meander a bit about town and just be by myself.
All the photos in this series were taken last week Saturday. I traipsed or rather, took the bus, train and taxi to different parts of town and most weekends, tourists flood the city in droves.
We e-zoomed around various neighbourhoods on our laptops, pads, phones, and got a peek into what lovely folks are doing.
Like Mercury Colliding:Â Receiving natures serendipitous gift on your birthday can be such a delightful blessing. Kat makes me want to grow some Magnolia’s.
Jazzy Tower:Â Beautiful moments in life captured with a great sense of satisfaction.
Donât horde the beauty of the life around you, just for yourself. Do share with us

The meaning of a book: a great post on a topic that most of us avoid like a plague.  Borrowing Yinglan’s quote:
Religion and Politics. These are two topics you will never see me post on my blog. Why? Because those are two of the most opinionated and sensitive topics out there. Because those are two topics that essentially started wars and tore apart families, friends, and mankind. Because I dislike those two topics.
Playful Halloween costumes:Â Fun photos. It’s never too early to think ahead so you might get an idea or two from here.

“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” Stephen King
We buy books like the magical garden for the children but derive utmost pleasure from reading them and being child-like again đ
Sometimes, I wonder who gets the most pleasure, the adult who is still a child at heart or the child who soaks up the words in innocent wonder?
I know a lot of us who enter bookstores and come out buying more books than we planned to đ
I am guilty all the time.

The cover of a book
is a door through a nook
that leads me down adventurous paths
where I’ve never been before.
The last book I read
had many tales to tell
of a maiden who sought adventure
and found true love’s treasure
She was a lass from Singapore
who wanted something more
she desired more of life’s pleasure
and set off on an adventure
She arrived in Dallas
where she met a bloke with class
a cool cowboy with a banjo
who twirled her in a tango.
Our prompt for this week’s Writers Quote Wednesday’s challenge is ‘adventure,’ a word that is synonymous to something exciting.
However, my question is does adventure have to be only when we set off on something grand to escape the ordinary?
If that’s the case then the greater part of our lifetime is lost when we fail to collect our little moments and turn our otherwise mundane life into an adventure of finding deep pleasure in the simple things.

“Life is pretty much what we make of it and to finding peace and pause in the midst of a hectic day is the sweet spot.” Jacqueline
The weather has heated up quite a bit, but these men are able to find some repose on their push carts. The heat actually tends to make one feel a bit lethargic.

The challenge is simple :Â find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.
Is it usual to have a little birdie create a road block when you are stepping out for a brisk walk? The mirrored feet in the glass belongs to me đ
Birdie stood nicely while I took several shots and finally flew away to its own business, not agreeing to go for a stroll with me. Lovely not so mundane way to start an ordinary day.
