Evergreen Clematis is blooming in my garden in spite of being heavily damaged by last winter's harsh cold snap. Hopefully it may eventually return to its former glory.

 

"Hope sleeps in our bones like a bear waiting for spring to rise and walk." ~ Marge Piercy

Dans l'espoir de Tides ...

Con la esperanza de mareas ...

Sperando in Tides ...

Hoffnung in Tides ...

 

"To whom it may concern

I've always tried to learn

That the good days, need to last..."

Hurricane on the way to St Augustine as I post this. So, I am hoping in the tides, too.

May hope never fade within our hearts!

Happy New Year!

Tune - Song of Hope

 

“Song of Hope” - to restore the faith in the current state of our humanness and to offer a faithful hand, because it’s the kind of message we need to unite us.

 

don't loose HOPE

when the SUN goes down

the STARS come out

 

“Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all.” -Emily Dickinson

Young birds are starting to appear, begging for food although most seem to be able to feed themselves just fine when the moms aren't looking.

 

Happy Monday to all and thank you for your visit!

"Don't expect me to repeat everything that has already been said this year.

I don't look to the past, I exist for the future!

My name is Hope!

I know ... There are times when you almost lose me, but whenever that happens, we end up together again.

Hope does not exist without you, and you cannot exist without it.

Believe in 2021! Believe!"

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all

 

And sweetest- in the Gale is heard

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm-

 

I've heard it the chillest land-

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - Never - In Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

Another older image that was taken while on a trip to Isreal. This is the church of the Holy Sepulchre where the body of Jesus Christ was taken and placed into a tomb. Today was the Feast of the Three Magi or the Three Kings also known as the Epiphany. I thought this image was a good symbol of light and hope for the new year.

For some reason, when converting this image to black and white, I first thought of hope for the new year. This lone, lit snowflake in my neighbor's yard just seemed to symbolize these feelings.

"Give me hope in the darkness that I shall see the light." I hope 2022 brings us much happiness, good times and a safer future.

   

Stay safe and take care, my dear Flickr friend!!

Hoffnung ist das einzige Gut, das allen Menschen gemein ist.

Plant seeds of hope in your heart.

Give them plenty of love and attention.

Then watch as your beautiful dreams bloom.

Thank you very much for all your nice visits, comments and favourites! ❤

Don’t take for granted,

just how lucky you are;

To be spending this time with people

who love you.

Complete lockdown, total isolation.

Still this loneliness makes its home,

It burrows deep in my soul,

nothing less than a dull ache.

It’s so easy to lose sight of what matters.

But still, despite all this

I see a flower desperate to be alive.

She blooms unexpectedly,

twirling to reach the sun’s rays.

Showing me that it’s possible.

Reminding me that there’s hope.

Even in the darkest times,

even when it seems like the end,

you can find a way to grow.

I love this pic because this dog, to me, illustrated hope. After a previous life of despicable abuse, why would he not be very unsure of me when we first met? Yet within a few minutes of my respect for him, and a few soft words to him; his tail started to wag, his ears relaxed, he popped his head out, and he looked up almost adoringly at me. I could feel his trust and warmth.

 

Whilst this experience nicely stroked my ‘good with dogs’ ego, and touched my heart, this was much more certainly down to the love, care and understanding of his new owner and companion.

 

Bravo sir with the red beard, you are good good man.

Captured on that fabulous August bank holiday weekend, weather and light like this seems a distant memory at the moment.

It Might As Well Be Spring ♫ - Sarah Vaughan ft Miles Davis

 

[O were my love yon Lilac fair]

Robert Burns - 1759-1796

 

O were my love yon Lilac fair,

Wi' purple blossoms to the Spring,

And I, a bird to shelter there,

When wearied on my little wing!

How I wad mourn when it was torn

By Autumn wild, and Winter rude!

But I wad sing on wanton wing,

When youthfu' May its bloom renew'd.

O gin my love were yon red rose,

That grows upon the castle wa';

And I myself a drap o' dew,

Into her bonie breast to fa'!

O there, beyond expression blest,

I'd feast on beauty a' the night;

Seal'd on her silk-saft faulds to rest,

Till fley'd awa by Phoebus' light!

As the sun fell on this mid- October day so did the hopes of continuing the season. It is amazing how the small disappointments build the most character.

This morning's sunrise is all about hope. No matter how bad the situation theres always help & people who will listen.

Pieta House is a voluntary organisation that's helps people that are feeling down & depressed. Its a totally self funded charity.

Given the current situation charity's now more than ever need our help.

Normally today would see thousands of people all over Ireland out for the sunrise walk,but bacause of the Covid pandemic this wasn't possible.

So I'm appealing to everyone that can donate please remember Pieta House.

Theres always light at the end of the tunnel.

 

It’s a hard time of year for many people, some will be lonely and the dreary weather can be depressive, so here’s a picture of summer, a time of warmth and feel good to look forward to.

hope springs eternal

 

these are scary times, extraordinary measures are in place all over the world. we are about to go on lockdown, and it is crucial that folks stay at home isolated if we are to bring this virus under control.

 

take care of yourselves and others, be kind and mindful.

 

and yes, there is cause for celebration, happy first day of Spring!

 

Your hope waters the roots of the flowers that have yet to bloom.

Hi guys, It's been a while since i uploaded my last pic, well, I am back, safe and sound thank God. Just been through strange days but i feel stronger and with so much hope. Hope everything is ok with you there, wherever you are. Greetings from Honduras.

This season’s sakura blossom is almost over here. I do hope we will be able to enjoy the next sakura season in a very peaceful, delightful mood.
