I suppose it's a tiny bit obscure but I've always wanted to make a jet trail into a graph...
This also shows the beaming freezing figures of Jenny, Martin, the Clemmingtons and the poetic Cognavich.

THURSDAY, April 03, 2014 - Lahore—Hajvery University (HU) hosted a lecture by Mr. Sohail Warraich on Why I am so Optimistic about Pakistan?
He delivered a motivational address to the students on the positive mindset required by today's youth to overcome the numerous challenges that Pakistan faces. He encouraged students to devote themselves to their education and work hard. He further added that the Students must become agents of change in their individual capacities and always be optimistic if they wanted to see Pakistan as a prosperous nation in the future. He stressed on the importance of Media as it promotes tolerance and provides an alternative opinion to the Society.
This was one of several large jigsaws I optimistically took to the BCD House Party in February 2020. I bought it in August 2019 for a reasonable sum, probably because it wasn't labelled as Parker Pastime, had no original box, no piece count or dimensions, and had replacements and a chewed piece. The division of the blank into rectangles is uncommon for Parker Pastime (but not without precedent) and the number and shape of the figurals indicated to me that it was American and likely Parker. I had a bit of discussion about it with an American BCD member who came to the event, in our private facebook group, so I was keen to complete this jigsaw first.
The 1500pc board was big enough - I'll add dimensions and piece count later. The figurals are really quite large - this surprised me, but the largest Parker I'd done previously was only about 400pc. The replacements have proved to be rather crude and I would eventually like to get better ones made. One replacement 'corner' (which ended up on the floor, which I picked up and put on the next table because it didn't look like our jigsaw at all then reclaimed and placed later) can be seen on the lower edge.

The smile on this young boy remains optimistic as he looks at the deflated toy on the ground of the abandon parking lot. Stephen, 8, spends his Saturday exploring the city of Dublin, which can be a rare sight today. Rather than be engulfed by popular video games or other electronic devices, he enjoys life beyond the LCD screen. He seemingly takes life in as it happens around him. A sight such as this can beg the viewer to reconsider his or her own priorities.
Perhaps a little optimistic, but at least it's forecast that it's going to warm up over the weekend! Have a good one! A little about our stay at Hotel Chocolat, for those who're interested... For anyone who's familiar with the brand of chocolate "Hotel Chocolat" this is the hotel, restaurant and plantation where it all begins. We were lucky enough to meet co-owner Peter Harris on our stay, a fascinating guy who started the business as a mail order chocolate company and has worked to create something virtually unique. I've not met many true entrepeneurs before, but what I found most interesting is that I got no sense that he'd built this for the money. It seemed much more about creating something very special, realising a dream if you like. It seemed clear that the workers here are getting a good deal. The plantation works to promote agriculture and to help farmers set up their own crops, with a clear focus on education and providing a fair return on the cocoa! If ever you're lucky enough to visit St Lucia, I cannot recommend this place enough. It makes you see your chocolate in a whole new light, and I doubt you'll ever grumble again at paying a couple of pounds for quality bar of dark chocolate once you've seen the work that's gone into it! flic.kr/p/dPqJBH

Today, there is considerable doubt that there will even BE a United States of America to celebrate a Tricentennial by 7/4/2075.

The Farnbacher Loles Porsche during Sunday morning warm-up at Mosport ALMS 2008. The car ended up with its back end up against the tire wall down from turn two.
No great damage, apparently, as this car ended up in second place in its class in the race itself.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. ~Elwyn Brooks White, Essays of E.B. White, 1977
A beautiful grey lichen on Hazel.
Still working on the ID.
The West Highlands of Scotland are home to a characteristic type of coastal hazelwood, rarely found elsewhere. Whereas hazel is often a component of mixed woodlands dominated by bigger trees such as ash, on the west coast it can often form almost pure stands, in exposed coastal locations. Outstanding examples of this woodland type in the Sunart Oakwoods area can be found at Drimnin, in Morvern, and Ardslignish and Sonachan in west Ardnamurchan, with smaller areas elsewhere.
These coastal hazelwoods are rich with wild flowers in springtime before the leaves on the trees are out, but less obviously to the untrained eye, also play host to a unique and very diverse lichen flora.
The importance of these woods for lichens is a result of a number of factors: the mild 'oceanic' climate; the special characteristics of hazelbark that make it suitable for a wide range of lichens to grow on; the lack of atmospheric pollution in the area; and finally the particular structure and long-established nature of the woodlands.
