Willy Whackit dreamed of playing baseball in the majors. He knew if he hung out in the corn long enough, the scouts would come. Unfortunately, Willy had no idea what corn looked like and, so, hanging out in the bushes didn't make him famous. Willy did get discovered, arrested and now has a photo on the post office wall after he jumped bail.

It's April 3, we have a major snow storm predicted for today, and this display is in a local store. If this isn't optimism, I don't know what is!

i finally figured out why this seemingly-optimistic message bothered me.
it assumes i only have one eye.

The clouds may be dark and the landscape forbidding, but if there is a spark of hope to be found, it is within ourselves.
No Photoshop, I really take this thing with me on some of my desert journeys. The desert wildflowers in Death Valley are everywhere in April and May. Taken with a Pentax 645 medium format camera.

Vietnam - is one of the most positive countries. The original culture, special cuisine, traditions and customs, complicated history and beating the key vital energy and optimism, all this attracts many tourists.
Inhale love and peace .. exhale your hatred and resentments away
Inhale calmness and confidence .. exhale your fears and worries
Inhale happiness .. exhale your sadness and depression
Inhale kindness .. exhale irritability and anger away
Inhale positive and creative thoughts .. exhale negative and harmful thoughts
No, Teddy Roosevelt's legendary cavalry unit from the Spanish-American did not have anything to do with the construction of the TP&W. But this photo does show why, from Canton westward to roughly Bushnell, the KJRY was limited to 10-15mph operating speeds. The jointed rail has not been kept up much since the days of the original TP&W (although the KJRY has been slowly upgrading the line over the years, as time and funds allowed). The slow speeds did make it easy to chase, though, and this would be the first of many multiple encounters between Canton and Cuba, the next town to the west. Here, the F's approach the first crossing west of Canton, Maple St. Immediately west of here, the shaded "forest" ends until the Spoon River Valley west of Smithfield.
I’ve taken this capture a while back. It brightens my day and inspires optimistic thoughts. Wish you a wonderful day.
Its the only way in these troubled times. My favourite mug from the Stokes Croft China Company of Bristol.

A splash of color lifted my spirits in what has been a very challenging summer. And we got some much needed relief, as it was only 112-degrees today, a sharp drop from the temperatures we’ve had since July 1st.

I'm so thankful for all of your examples in finding those green lights in life! (even the bokeh kind!!) You are all so sweet and some of the nicest people in the world!

As in countless years past, a pair of Canada Geese begin work on their new nest at Hubbard Pond, near my home. Sadly, this may be the last year to witness this inspiring event.
On their home located in one of Ann Arbor's premier residential neighborhoods and without a Comprehensive Environmental Impact Report, public review/input, or apparent alternative site consideration, and in return for 185 VIP parking spaces on their Athletic Campus, the Regents of the University of Michigan are about to approve the relocation and the construction of a huge, high activity, high-traffic generating, smelly and noisy, brightly-lit 24/7, dusty, heavy industrial type facility.
Unfortunately, these handsome creatures have no effective way to argue their case. Even if they could get a hearing, parading their delightful goslings, plus indignant hissing, squawking and honking will never work. Instead, they need human help... your help.
To learn more about the proposed project and how you can give Mother Nature a human voice, you are invited to visit:

UPDATE: In a 12 March 2016 letter, the President of the University of Michigan indicates the proposed heavy industrial project for this site has been "paused". Plus, all applications for various construction permits are suspended and no construction contracts have been awarded.
While this turn of events appears positive, all it takes is will and a whim to re-activate the project. Until the final determination is STOP, the possibility of this easily preventable man-made disaster remains. Again, Mother Nature needs your voice. Now is the time to stand-up and sound-off !
UPDATE: 18 March 2016 - UM President apologizes...
