An optimistic great grey heron fishing in the River Dodder in south Dublin.
There's a lot of Lightroom colour editing on this one. I changed the white balance to fluorescent and then used the circular mask tool to remove the blue from the heron and a second time to darken a bright white glare from one the rocks. Then a few more general tweaks on shadows and highlights.
Happy Slider Sunday!
... that there will be some more sunshine to display their beautiful colours!
HMBT !

"We have a finite environment - the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist."

In a more optimistic version, after the Flood, the sun shines again and gives warm, golden hues to the water reflections and the background. But the clock is ticking, the wait has been long and nature has been far too forgiving. Remember, there is NO planet B.
"Auntie Emily, are you a famous climber?". In front of the climbing wall staff 😂 God, I love my nephews.
One from my dreamy morning on Latrigg!
Hope is an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes with respect to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large.

“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.”

A Loon seconds after returning to the surface after yet another unsuccessful dive for breakfast.
Taken at Ft. Pickens, Florida on 27 March, 2022.
During our visit with Andy in March, he took us to St Bee's Headwalk that lead to Fleswick Cove. We started merrily on our way without food or water, with Andy's optimistic refrain "it's just over that ridge". Two hours later we reached the cove and it was amazing...of course we were hungry and thirsty and facing an equally long walk back. Mark loves to give him endless grief about it...:-)))
However, it was an amazing walk and we came away with the most treasured images and memories.
كلنا في هذه الحياة نعيش على أمل ما دامت الحياة سيبقى الأمل !!
أمل اللقاء
أمل تحقيق السعادة التي نطمح إليها
أمل رؤية من نحبُ سعداء
أمل العيش في حرية وكرامة
إنه الأمل الذي يبنض به كل قلب *

An optimistic Short-eared Owl on the prowl at dusk.
Conditions for this image were challenging. The setting sun was on the horizon and the barely visible subject about 250 feet away, flying at full speed.
Considered rare for this area and time of the year.
One of these days, or years, I am going to get to photograph this location in perfect conditions. Near Tibbermore in Perthshire, Scotland.
And crawl against the tide
Walk a hot coal, you don't get blisters
'Cause it's all inside your mind, blind eyes are only for tonight
There are no guarantees
Don't know what tomorrow brings
Though are promise is weed
Oh, we know what will be, will be
... the canal was half-empty at this point :-) for some unknown reason - although the goose in view looked to be having fun :-)
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday!

A sense of "almost" normalcy has arrived finally. Time to make up for lost time..speak your own mind...don't listen to negative people...be optimistic....make your own decisions. Ignore social media. Life is what you make it.
... for spring and - after nearly one year of this murderous attack by Russia - Peace for Ukraine!
Magnolia buds in our neighbours garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
... for a Peaceful MBT!
i hope everyone feels good and optimistic looking to this new year...
May it be bright and beautiful for us all :-)
This optimistic American goldfinch male is starting to grow his golden spring plumage in even if the weather still looks and feels like winter here at Lake Meyer Park. The ground is pure white as I write this tonight.
Strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, passionate
Weaknesses: Impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, aggressive
well... the strengths outweigh the weaknesses... haha!
This little Blue Tit looks happy that it is a sunny day but he is apprehensive about the long winter ahead. Living in the UK I know how he feels... never trust a Politician.
Abereiddy is famous for its beach and the optimistically named Blue Lagoon. It's a popular spot for coasteering, making it the kind of place I would normally avoid for photography. However, like so much of the Pembrokeshire coast, it also has incredible rock formations that provide limitless subject matter. I spent a few hours here photographing rock abstracts and details. I could happily have stayed longer, except the area I was photographing became over-run with bathers and thrill seekers. Even so, I made two of my favourite images of the trip here within a few feet of each other. Which I suppose just goes to show there's always a photograph to be made if you have a mind to.

"Keep, keep on
Never say die
When in the midst of sorrow
You can' t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring.
You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this can't never be done
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams.
Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic." - Sounds of Blackness ♫
Gi looks upward & onward while living her very best life ❤️
The view across Loch Ailort from the road is mainly obscured by tall bracken or bushy trees. But I love the fleeting glimpses as I drive by. When the sun shines and the weather is blustery I love the back lighting of the trees, but I've yet to capture it properly. I'm optimistic I will get a better chance in November or December when the vegetation has died down a bit
