Lights Outside
By Stéfan.
I enjoy haiku – that short form of Japanese poetry. Today’s post comes in the form of two haiku on the topic of lights outside.

Windows of Opportunity
We are all presented with windows of opportunity from time to time. It is up to us to recognize them and seize the moment.

Saint Lawrence River
Ah, pedal boats. I have a memory of pedal boating and the moment being associated with swans… or was it a dream?

Old Streets
The old narrow streets of many cities are rich in visual appeal. Old Montréal is no different: it has plenty of interesting views.

Coloured Glass
I use to have blue tinted sunglasses and I loved them. They made the sky blue even on gray days. It’s that power to transform the view that I find magical in coloured glass.

Animals in the Backyard
It’s good to let the animals roam in the backyard, to dillydally, and to get a bit of stimulation. Often times, I sit there with them and enjoy the moment.

Cleaning Windows
It’s time again for me to clean the windows. It should be made clear that I don’t like cleaning windows – not at all.

A Few Ants
We have a few ants around the yard. I suppose everyone does. But this year, they seem pretty large.

Alien Abduction
I don’t often remember my dreams, but I do remember one I had last night. I was abducted by aliens.

Tranquility
It’s becoming a form of meditation: every so often, I wake up very early and set out before dawn. There is something restorative about experiencing the tranquility and the cool of early morning.
