Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh – New & Refreshing

1 Fresh

A brand new tattoo. An ocean breeze. The invitation of a calm, cool cove. What do all of these things have in common? They’re all fresh.

The Weekly Photo Challenge invites us to show our definition of the word. I combined this lovely tattoo from chocolate atelier (a TGGS hunt prize) with this refreshing scene to bring you my interpretation.

Though a tattoo will fade in time, the weather will cool and the skies will darken, on this afternoon they all combined to give me a fresh outlook across our island. All that’s missing is a sparkling cocktail and the company of my sweetheart and it would have been perfect 😉

Be sure to check the comments of this post to see what other bloggers have done to show you their version of what Fresh means.

Like The Moods Of A Woman

1 Beachside Stroll

I love the ocean – the far reaches of that expanse of water draws me to it. The sea has its moods too, you see. You can sense them in the colour, the scent, the very sounds she creates. Is she serene, with her wavelets gently lapping along the shoreline? Or is she angry, with her waves crashing against the reef? Yes, she can be unforgiving, with hidden rifts and a cold iciness beneath her surface.

She has the moods of a woman and can be dangerous if taken for granted. But she can also envelope you in her warmth, buoying you as you drift along in her currents – taking you places you have only ever imagined. She is like a kiss – gentle and caressing one moment, passionate and tumultuous the next. And just when you think you understand her, she changes. Hers is a tale to which even she knows not the ending. Do not fear her, but always respect her. You will not become her master, but with a bit of sailor’s luck, you may one day appreciate her depth and mystery.

And if you do…tell her. She will hold your secrets dear and never give them up. But if you listen closely, she will speak to you – on the evening breeze, in the cry of a gull, in the way she whispers her lover’s name as her tides rise and fall. She belongs to the Moon, but he does not own her. She is her own entity – an enigma, a conundrum, a riddle never to be solved.

Sore Loser

1 QLD SoO Sore Loser

I lost a bet with my friend, Dax, over who would win State of Origin. For those of you who live outside of New South Wales or Queensland, State of Origin is a Rugby League match in which the best players from each state in the NRL (National Rugby League) play for bragging rights. Click the link if you want to find out more. It’s a three-game series, and NSW hasn’t won in seven years. Or is it eight now? I forget; or at least, I try to.

Dax and I don’t gamble for money; we gamble for something more important than that: bragging rights and humiliation of the loser. So, in just a few hours during our set from 2-4 AM on Thursday at Breaking The Rules, I will be sporting the QLD Maroon’s jersey, while Dax makes fun of me in chat and on every mic break. How do I know this? This is the second year in a row we have had this bet. But for two lousy points, a missed conversion, a stupid penalty, Dax would be rocking the Blue tonight. Or at least, he would have had to suffer through extra time.

Yep, he’s going to enjoy this way too much. And I hate that he has bragging rights for another year.

Dammit! I really am a sore loser 😦
