Summer

I'm so ready for winter to be over. So ready. Please, summer, please come fast.

Wrote this after my mother commented on the weather, saying, "It almost gives an illusion that summer's here, long evenings and all." I was "struck by a passion" then, the lyrics to a poem almost sprang into my head at that moment and I had to write it down. It's not fantastic. But it's something.


Summer

Summer is gentle,
romantic, sensual,
long pleasant evenings
the gentle glow of candlelit dinners,
unrushed strolls around the neighborhood,
hand in hand with your other.

Summer is exciting,
surprising, fleeting,
water balloon fights,
the rush of amusements,
sleepovers and bonding time,
smiling with your buddies.

Summer is relaxing,
paced, drawn-out,
streams of sunlight and lazy mornings,
quiet time all by yourself,
time to collect your thoughts.

Summer is exhilarating,
passionate, overwhelming,
feeling the wind on your face,
walks along the beach,
feeling the sea spray sprinkle your face.

Summer is everything.

Poem

I'd like to share a poem I wrote for English class. The original's been marked up by my teacher, or I'd scan it. The words are mostly cut out of magazines, with a few words added in by me. It's not the full effect on here...but ah well.

Comments?



By the beautiful sea
I walk for miles in the sparkling morning sunshine
The sand stretches on, and no end in sight
Surrounded by gravity-defying waves
Crashing mercilessly against the jagged rocks
Feeling impulsive
The water slaps at my sides as I venture in
A colourful blend of blues and greens, the salty sea spray
It is magical, this island getaway.

Beach

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the beach? It's like my second home...

On a related note, I'm obsessed with the movie series Pirates of the Carribean. Usually I don't enjoy movies, because I find them silly and overrated, but I have to say that the one I just mentioned is fantastic. It's just right: 50% action, 9% romance (which is a bit much) and 41% plot. I'm serious, other than the romance bit, it's perfect. I just wanted to mention that.

My Photos

Here are some photos I took while walking around my neighbourhood...about three months ago.





Stunning

This is a short post, I know, but this picture is fantastic.

Color Schemes

Contrary to what I said before about colour...sometimes it's my only sanctuary.

So...whenever this time of the year rolls around, I find myself thinking enviously of those who live in the Carribean Islands. What I would give to live in a world of sandy beaches.

I found this amazing site called Design Seeds, and here are my favourite colour schemes.

Alaska

My family visited Alaska over the summer, and here are some of my favourite pictures.

:)

Wow, the mountains almost look fake. But they're not.

Look at his face!

Places to See Before You Die

I came across these breathtaking pictures, and I have to say I'm blown away. Just had to share these...and I'll be visiting them as soon as I can.

Ah, the blue!

Oh, to be watching that sunset!

Indian Ocean
The ocean. I love the ocean.

Just look at that reflection!

Macchu Picchu, Peru
