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!
he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority :-)

“The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.”
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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.

What is Helmi waiting for? I am optimistic that she is waiting for me, her "mom". In addition to waiting for me, she also waits for dog candies in my pocket. She always receives them as a reward when she has behaved in the desired way. In this photo ( taken a year ago ) she’s waiting for her award because she kept sitting still while I took photos. She has evolved a lot in a year, nowadays as soon as she sees me stopping and taking out the camera, she is sitting next to me. She walks completely free, without a leash, as still in this photo. She has become a good girl. She has earned her candies.
What am I waiting for? I look forward to the sun, sparkling bright rays of the sun as in this photo. I haven’t seen them in a few weeks, every day it has been snowing... a lot. Hey if anyone wants some snow, I can post... 😁 Finland.

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 *

... the canal was half-empty at this point :-) for some unknown reason - although the goose in view looked to be having fun :-)
One of these days, or years, I am going to get to photograph this location in perfect conditions. Near Tibbermore in Perthshire, Scotland.
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.
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!

The Christians tend to celebrate Easter-peopled-ness,
not in any proud or holier-than-thou manner,
but as an optimistic promise
resurrection-claiming
Holy Week unwinding
Lent minimizing
kind of way.
But, we are all an Easter people,
at least we Canadians
save those in Victoria or Point Pelee.
Everywhere else, in this often frigid place,
and some of those Scandinavian places too,
Siberia maybe, and Greenland (ha!),
we and they are Easter people.
We live the life of rebirth,
relife, rekindled in our frozen ground,
crocus, snowdrop, scilla,
poking through winter’s death
every early Spring.
[from "We are an Easter People" in I am Keats as you are by Glenn Peirson]

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.
An optimistic Monday afternoon. The weather forecast looked promising for the clouds to break up just enough for a nice sunset. Unfortunately it wasn't too be. It did provide some interesting, muted copper and blues in the sky though.
Strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, passionate
Weaknesses: Impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, aggressive
well... the strengths outweigh the weaknesses... haha!
Last shot from Banff - for now. Starting tomorrow I want to post some fairly recent images, sort of a farewell to winter (I'm being optimistic).
I made this shot at Bow Pass, about half an hour before my grizzly encounter (see photos from 2 & 3 days ago). It had snowed lightly overnight and a lot of the moisture was evaporating and rising from the valleys below. I think I overlooked this frame because there's so little colour in it - but then, mountain terrain can be cold and forbidding. I've been caught in many a back country camp in foul weather, when there was no choice but to hunker down and wait it out. On this morning, however, I had my car close at hand, and was merely poking around with my lens to see what I could see. Warm, dry clothes and a warm, dry tent awaited me in the valley below. My car had a good heater. I wasn't exactly roughing it.

"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 ❤️
