OneWordSunday – Travels with Ali

~ Power over the Water ~

After not doing much for the last three weeks I finally felt up to a walk. We took the dogs down to the river nearby, it was so windy and chilly! In the small bay along the river front we saw many kite surfers flying high. There was one guy in particular who was very athletic and managing extraordinary feats. I managed to take a few shots and videos with my S24. Quite a task to get good shots while zooming in and holding steady in the wind.

What must it feel like to be able to fly in the air like this? Exhilarating, thrilling and invigorating are some words that spring to mind. It was a joy to watch but too cold to stand there for long.

Incorporating this with Debbie’s One Word Sunday – Power and Johnbo’s Cellpic Sunday.

~ Murals of Silves, Portugal ~

I’ve recently spent a week in Portugal and took these cute murals on the electric boxes in Silves yesterday. Very apt for Debbie’s one word Sunday

Also posting to John’s Cell pic Sunday

They really brighten up these cobblestoned streets.

~ Morning Coffee and a Rainbow ~

I sat outside yesterday morning with my coffee, enjoying the early morning cool weather. I looked up at the sky and wondered if the rain was coming or going. All of a sudden through the haze a rainbow appeared. As I sat in silent wonder, it seemed to become brighter. A lovely treat for a Saturday morning I thought.

🌈Have a great week🌈

~ Square Squares ~

Debbie from Travel with Intent hosts One Word Sunday, and as you’ve probably guessed the theme is square this week.

A small gallery of squares, all squared away.

🐟 Ponder 🐟

This week for one word Sunday, Debbie at Travel with Intent has chosen “Pond or Ponder”. I’ve found a few with quotes to go with my photos. Stay a while and ponder.

It is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a mighty ocean

Our little fish pond, built in 2012. Different fish and some more plants, but still going strong. DH’s (Dear Hubby) hobby.

“I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side”
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

A Koi Pond in Sengan-En Gardens, Kagoshima, Japan

“Remain in the world, act in the world, do whatsoever is needful, and yet remain transcendental, aloof, detached, a lotus flower in the pond.”
― Osho, The Secret of Secrets

It’s the smallest fish in the pond that has the most room to swim – or the smallest cow!

One Word Sunday – Arches

This Sunday’s word is Arches hosted by Debbie from Travel with Intent. Starting with a quote I found on Pinterest, a line from a conversation with Kublai Khan.
