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!

"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."
(David Attenborough)
“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.

“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.
After I cut my little applte tree much to much in the year before last year and it had a break in case of apples, its looking much better this year. I’m quite optimistic, that I will have something to pick.
Nachdem ich meinen kleinen Apfelbaum im vorletzten Jahr entwas zu deutlich zurückgeschnitten hatte und er in Sachen Äpfel eine kleine Pause eingelegt hatte, sieht es dieses Jahr wieder deutlich besser aus. Ich bin recht zuversichtlich, dass ich da auch etwas ernten kann.

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 *

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.

Artist: ABOVE, Year: 2012
Tavar Zawacki formerly known as 'ABOVE' (born 1981) is an American abstract artist living and working between Berlin, Germany, and Bali, Indonesia. For twenty years (1996–2016) Tavar Zawacki created and signed all of his artworks with his street artist pseudonym, 'ABOVE'. Tavar was born and raised in California until the age of 19, at which time, Zawacki bought a one-way flight from California to Paris, France, bringing with him a backpack full of art supplies, all the money in his bank account ($1,500 USD), and a 'rise above your fears' approach to starting his art career. Starting in Paris in 2000, Tavar transitioned from painting traditional letter style graffiti of A-B-O-V-E, to his 'Above arrow' icon that represented his optimistic mentality to 'rise above fears, challenges, and anything holding you back from your goals.' During a 20-year period, the artworks of ABOVE could be seen in over 100 cities spanning 50 countries around the world.
In January 2017, Zawacki decided to step out of his self-imposed shadow of anonymity, and start creating, and signing artworks with his real birth name – allowing more freedom of creative exploration, as well as liberation from the arrow icon he has associated himself with. Tavar Zawacki's painting styles with his large scale mural works, as well as his indoor fine art are characterized by the use of hard-edge painting, color field, geometric abstraction, Op art, and trompe-l'œil painting styles. Zawacki has been showcasing his work in galleries and creative institutions around the world since 2005.

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 :-)

OVER THE RAINBOW (AU DELÀ DE L’ARC-EN-CIEL)
Il y a des chansons qui traversent les époques, les genres musicaux, les modes.
« Over the rainbow » est l’une de celles-là
Elles expriment l’espoir, le rêve, la liberté… souvent avec des paroles simples, mais toujours poétiques et optimistes, portées par des mélodies prenantes, émouvantes, humaines.
Chantées avec des styles aussi différents que ceux de Keith Jarrett ou de Bob Marley, elles nous touchent profondément.
Quelques extraits :
« Quelque part au-delà de l'arc-en-ciel, tout là-haut
Il y a une contrée que j'ai connue jadis, par une berceuse
Là, les rêves qu'on ose faire deviennent bel et bien réalité
Des oiseaux volent par-delà cet arc-en-ciel
Alors, pourquoi ne le puis-je pas, moi ?
J’entends les pleurs des enfants et je les regarde grandir
Ils apprendront beaucoup plus que nous ne saurons jamais
Et je pense en moi-même,
Quel merveilleux monde
Un jour, je ferai un vœu en regardant une étoile,
Et je me réveillerai avec les nuages loin derrière moi,
là où les soucis fondent comme des sorbets au citron, tout au-dessus des cheminées
C'est là-bas que vous me trouverez. »

OVER THE RAINBOW
There are songs that go through ages, the fashions and the musical genres.
"Over the Rainbow" it one of those songs;
They express hope, dreams, freedom . . . often with simple words, but always poetic and optimistic, carried by gripping, moving, humane melodies.
Sung with styles as different as those of Keith Jarrett or Bob Marley, these mythical songs touch us deeply.
Extracts :
" Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I ?
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Someday I'll wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

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.
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.
Strengths: Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, passionate
Weaknesses: Impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, aggressive
well... the strengths outweigh the weaknesses... haha!
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.
