But entering the Book Shop I see I have been far too optimistic...There are thousands of books, interesting and great for reasonable price...But you have find The Right Book yourself as they are not organised as you used to see in modern book shops. I spent 40 minutes and my break time was coming to end and then I met a gentleman who works in the shop and he kindly suggested me to visit the Warehouse which is located in other place...
But then I heard Paddington's cheerful voice...Seems he has been more succesful

Dedicated to all the flickr friends who decide to stay.
I'm using love of nature and colour in my attempt to be optimistic.
Greenhouse orchid, never having known anything but optimum conditions, has no reason to be otherwise. Enid a A. Haupt Conservatory, New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- May 21, 2022
"The Sagittarius horoscope symbol is the Centaur or Archer. The Sagittarius sign symbol is usually depicted as an arrow pointing upwards. Sagittarius is always aiming for a higher spiritual ideal and philosophy in life, in addition to embodying an optimistic attitude. Thus, the Sagittarius symbol of the arrow pointed skyward expresses the wisdom and honesty of this philosophical zodiac sign."
I'm a Sagittarius and I wouldn't necessarily say that all the above is true. I do feel though that the unicorn expresses the essence of the sign with the horse-like body and the horn pointing upward, reaching for the heavens.
I had planned to post a forward-looking optimistic post to anticipate the New Years celebration. However my community was visited by a horrific fire today that has put a huge damper on local spirits. A grass fire likely started by a downed power line spread quickly fanned by 80 mph winds into two communities east of Boulder, Superior and Louisville. At least 600 homes and several businesses were quickly consumed, making this the most destructive fire in Colorado history. Additionally a hospital was evacuated, but thankfully was not damaged by the fire. At this time no deaths have been reported, but a thorough evaluation won’t be possible for a few days. Ironically our first major snowstorm is forecast for tomorrow.
This photo is not the Marshall fire described above, but rather is from the 2020 Calwood fire, also in Boulder County. The scene provides a sense of the overpowering nature of fires in an arid landscape, which are becoming a more common occurrence outside of the “fire season,” likely due to climate change.
I came across this strange scene of an ant pulling on a wing of a healthy sweat bee. Despite of its size, the ant was giving the bee a hard time, because it could not take off.
Finally back from the UK! Though should have been back an hour and half earlier but they had to change a tyre on the plane. Quite amazed at how they could do it to a plane with passengers, luggage and fuel on board! Still shouldn't complain - safety first and all that.
I had four photography goals in mind from my trip to England and the west pier in Brighton was one of them. Taken mid-afternoon surrounded by optimistic British sun worshippers (note: look at sky - yes it was raining slightly) who were hoping for better weather. Me and another photographer, who I met whilst standing here, were probably the only two humans on the beach hoping for more clouds. Sorry Brighton and all good people on the beach that day!
It's funny, these last two weeks I've been looking at the images on the back of my camera and all the time I thought the image to the right of this one would be the one I go with (mainly because it was a 6 minute exposure) but when I finally fired up my computer and had a quick look this image was by far the much better.
I've tried to view peoples' images whilst over in England and comment as good as I can but honestly Flickr-ing on a small mobile phone isn't easy! So got plenty to catch up on in the coming days - really looking forward to re-viewing some of the excellent pictures I've seen but now on a bigger screen.
Blooming now in my garden.
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday!
Take care, stay safe, be optimistic. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.

2016 was a year of ups and downs for my family. We are happy to say goodbye to 2016. We are all hopeful and optimistic for 2017. Best wishes to all my Flickr friends. Stay safe out there!
In March the avenue of pleached limes at Mottisfont is carpeted by blue chionodoxa. Ray thought to take a few plants home for our garden.
A more optimistic view of rural Ireland than yesterday's photo, though some people see those wind farms as (pardon the pun) 'ass'-inine..... :-)
Restaurant in Reykjavík. It was nighttime, in November, so not even smokers were sitting outside. Some interesting items on the menu, if you zoom in. Traditional Plokkari, anyone?

Lo splendore di Firenze, unito ad una luce speciale, mi fanno sentire molto ottimista. Sempre e comunque.
Grazie per tutti i gentili commenti alle mie ultime foto!

Florence’s charme, combined with a special light, makes me feel very optimistic. Always and anyway.
Thanks for all your kind comments to my last photos
