Mondays, what use are they, really?
Mondays just can’t relax, they have to come at you a million miles an hour and then bammmm, smack you in the face. And if that’s not enough, Mondays like to announce their presence somewhere around 4pm Sunday afternoon to enhance your pleasure.
However, I do have some sympathy for Mondays. Mondays have one of the hardest gigs around as Saturdays and Sundays are such hard acts to follow. Mondays are the boot camp sergeants of the week constantly barking and getting us back into the routine to prepare us for the week ahead.
Feeling a bit manic?
Tell me why, folks…
What’s on your mind on Mondays?
Now that I’ve buttered you up with some Monday mood music, I’m here to introduce…Let’s Phlog Mondays. Every Monday I will feature a photograph of my world. I am just starting to experiment with camera apps and my city and country contain some wonderful photogenic subject matter. Hopefully some of the pictures will connect with you or otherwise cause you to have a reaction of some sort…whether good or bad. They might even take the manic out of your Monday and bury those Monday blues.
Welcome to a slice of my world and Let’s Phlog Mondays.
Sunset at Yamba, New South Wales
I took this with a simple smart phone camera app. No gimmicks, no edits. This is the photo in the raw. I simply love this capture…a case of being in the right place at the right time. This was taken about 5.00pm in mid May in a town called Yamba which is located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. I was walking along the banks of the Clarence River when the sun started to set. The town has an amazing caravan park which shares this view. It was located behind me as I was taking the photo.
One word describes this photo:
PEACE
Hope your Monday is peaceful.
It’s all GOOD but time RACES on, Mondays, who cares; Tuesdays, who dare; Wednesdays etc.
Time does, especially as the years move on. The trick is to make the most of it.
I’ll be checking in for some PEACE around 10a.m when my day turns manic. This was a great way to get this rainy Monday started.
There’s nothing like a bit of blog reading serenity. Glad it gave you a lift, Lisa 🙂
I needed this today as it is grey and rainy in the New York area. Hope things where you are in Australia are cheery!
Glad you were uplifted G&F :). We are now heading into Winter and it promises to be a cold one. No snow where I’m at but we get the cold air off the mountains. But beautiful Autumn (fall) clear days are nothing to sneeze at. Enjoyed one of my best 10 days of summer in the New York area last year.
It’s funny, but ever since I traded in my day job to write, I don’t mind Mondays. The kids are back in school, and I can get back to the work that’s neglected over the weekend. Of course, summer vacation will soon be here and toss that routine all to heck. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It sounds wonderful at your place. I know all about summer holidays throwing out the routine, but I love the fact that there is no routine. Same and ditto about the blog stop 🙂
would love to sit on the bench and have a wonderful conversation, thanks for showing your part of the world. It is very lovely. DAF
Me too, and maybe one day we will 🙂
The picture reminds me of my folks’ place on Lake Delavan in Wisconsin.
Nice :). Wisconsin is one of the States I have never been to. Maybe next visit?

Beautiful picture and this looks like a lovely spot to sit with a glass of wine and a good book! I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s phlog! 🙂
And a friend who loves baseball 🙂
