Keep my Mom in mind today and keep optimistic! Her infectious smile and laugh that makes everyone happy. For a month, she has been in isolation and tested positive two weeks ago, and is making it through the COVID-19, age 93 at the epicenter (Life Care Center of Kirkland) in the US, and she will be 94 when it is over. When asked how she was feeling, she said, better than I was! She has made it through the great depression, tuberculosis quarantine, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and so many more episodes of flu than we can imagine. She has the faith and hope of a mustard seed and loves the Lord, Jesus Christ. With these factors, she is a perfect example that we must fight to flatten the line, keep self quarantined and keep smiling. Stay inside, please.
So many lives taken in this world from the virus. I am sorry to all who have lost someone they love.
This, too, shall pass! And we will be a better world for it.
Love to everyone!
I think humans like to seek patterns and maybe it is comforting to do so...to find an order in things. I chose this fence since it's design forms a pattern that can make the light conform to a certain pleasing pattern also. My title came from a random word generator which I have used occasionally to choose the challenge topic. One day optimistic lung came up and though it did not make a good challenge topic I think it's randomness adds a nice chaotic imbalance. Another random thing that happened today is a couple of people waited for me to get my shot of the fence not realizing they were in the shot and one person ended up waiting in a very good spot.

I wasn't really optimistic that the weather would play ball as i set off for Rumbling Kern on sunday morning,but i was really pleased that the clouds would clear and give way to some quite nice light.
This was taken at that great time,when the darkness of night gives way to the light of day.In the right conditions its surely one of the best times to be out there with camera in hand.

At a total height of 88 feet, this handsome segmented plunged-based waterfall drops only once and is quite the charm for its audience. Belonging to the North Fork Nooksack River stream and the Nooksack River watershed, this beautiful fall has a dark side; since the 1940s, at least 11 people have met their fate here. More than likely, they were attempting to achieve a better view of the falls, which costed them their lives. Be sure to exercise caution in this rather easy-going environment.

Sitting optimistically next to a picnic hamper, Hubert is carefully keeping his clean shoes - as can be seen - off the tablecloth while hoping that there are some goodies coming his way.
When the new Railway Children film is out in 2022 Oakworth and the KWVR generally may well be very popular for tourists. It is anyway and it could get hectic.

Oh wow, it's been a while! 😯
I don't want to spend too much time here explaining.. but in the beginning of July, life was turned upside-down when a loved one of mine was diagnosed with cancer.
Last week, we finally got the prognosis.. and that gave us reasons to be optimistic. The future is always uncertain.. but I'm always hopeful and thankful.
I hope everyone is doing fine and that you are enjoying your life and your loved ones! 😊

“Reaching out, for new heights
You inspired me to try
Felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'Cos when you came you were like
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star (Sunshine)
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far.”

LEGO Iron Monger MOC
Made this custom Iron Monger from Iron Man 1 after hearing rumors of the Iron Monger set coming in the summer—super stoked that Lego’s releasing more MCU sets! I absolutely can not wait to see the set pics :)
Though Obidiah Stane was a pretty forgettable villain, I still liked his suit design. And also, the original Iron Man movie is a work of art and is my second favorite MCU film after Endgame.
This guy took up a couple hours yesterday. I kept switching parts on the torso and arms and couldn’t find a combination I liked for a long time. The torso was a massive, MASSIVE in all caps, pain in the butt to get right. I used three modified bricks with studs on all four sides on the inside, but to get the height right, there were gaps near the top that I wasn’t sure how to fill. I ended up using clone antenna pieces and some minifig hands to fill them. Also included some Iron-Man-esque flaps on the back, idk if Iron Monger has them. They help smoothen the shaping on the back, and also gives me an excuse to use my favorite “recently” introduced Lego pieces, the triangular wedge slopes 😁
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. I’m definitely getting the Iron Monger set coming in the fall, and I’m interested in seeing how the build will turn out. However, I’m most excited to be finally getting an Iron Man Mark 3 in minifig form! Lego usually aces the designs on their Iron Man figures, so I’m decently optimistic. Just hope they don’t use the godawful new Iron Man helmet—the old design would fit perfectly for the Mark 3.
What do you guys think? Comments are welcome! :)

Another shot of Badlands in South Dakota.
Clouds were changing their shapes into different forms every few minutes and the wind was playing with my hat constantly:)
The views were breathtaking and I could spend there the whole day...
Thanks a lot for your views, comments and favs :-)

I am not sure if this pedal rikshaw driver smiled like this because he was having his photo taken or because he was hopeful of getting a customer. I liked how this turned out though.

The 50mm f/1.4 has been a solid walkabout lens for me so far. It is light and handles almost anything thrown at it. Love it!
An optimistic great blue heron has become a regular visitor at our garden pond. The fish are protected by a net, so hunting success is not driving the visits. Perhaps it hopes that, one day, the net will be gone.
I already purchased the pots & aquatic soil for my sprouting water Lotus/water lily seeds. I will just have to add water & hope the cats don’t mess with them. The pot has a magnolia design.
The Grand Opera House opened in April 1909. Its investors were 14 businessmen, including William Bell who shared an optimistic vision for the young city of about 4,200 – neighbouring Copper Cliff's population was about 3,000. The theatre originally had more than 1,000 seats, three balconies, majestic high ceilings, sophisticated art nouveau decorations throughout and an elegant lobby.
In December 1929, the first all-talking feature movie, “Lights of New York,” was shown. The owners of the renamed Grand Theatre invested $20,000 to install the Vitaphone sound system, which involved a record disc played in sync with the film.
During the 1930s, the Grand was owned by William Mason, owner of the Sudbury Star.*
The Grand survived The Depression, the death of vaudeville, and the Second World War. But by 1949, it was in need of major repairs. New owners renovated the building into two movie theatres, the Empire and the Plaza.
Laurentian University used the offices in the building at 28 Elgin for classes until its campus opened in 1964. Later, Gauvreau Academy of Dance and Modeling was located in the upper offices.
When the movie theatres closed in 1986, Ted Szilva, developer of the Big Nickel tourist attraction, bought the building for $400,000 and spent another $200,000 on renovations. Ornate chandeliers from the Capitol Theatre on Durham Street were installed and this added to the grandeur.
Legendary performer Tony Bennett opened the revitalized performance centre in 1987. During a renaissance from 1987 to the mid-1990s, it booked A-list entertainers such as Johnny Cash, Celine Dion, Tom Jones, Nana Mouskouri, k.d. lang, Conway Twitty, Wayne Newton, Engelbert Humperdinck, Crowded House, George Carlin, the Smothers Brothers, Howie Mandel and the Beach Boys.
Szilva's plans may have been too grand. Although Sudbury audiences were enthusiastic about its heady schedule of entertainment, the city's population was not large enough or wealthy enough to fill the theatre night after night. The building went into receivership.
Claude Michel purchased the Grand with his father, Arnel, and two private investors in 1988. He continued to book top acts, but asked the city for relief for property taxes of $50,000. The city "rented" the theatre for 40 nights over 12 months and community art groups could apply to use the space at no cost. The relief program ended in 1996.
Michel found running a nightclub, then known as the Big Thunder Bar, more profitable. The seats were removed and the sloped floor was levelled. Office space in the building was converted into apartments.
The Grand was put on the market in 1999 for $1 million, but there was little interest from prospective buyers. Michel finally sold it in 2013.
Today, the Grand Nightclub is a popular dance club that also books concerts and rents space for theatre productions and special events. A second bar, in the old Plaza theatre space formerly known as Coyotes, is now called Fuse.

An optimistic trip to Sidmouth for sunrise proved just that - optimistic. Therefore I tried to make what I could of this breakwater that I always have trouble with, composition-wise.
