I'm optimistic that this will clean up nicely, very nicely in fact! It looks good underneath and I cannot wait to clean it.

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

Over optimistic lights, Vines Winebar isn’t going to open anytime soon unless the world spins a little faster on its axis and COVID-19 evaporates.
This is one of many strategies tried by a cormorant to eat an eel. It was nearly a fatal mistake as just out of shot was a diving gull intent on stealing the eel but the cormorant was too quick for it.

Yellow Branch Falls as she appeared on this bright, optimistic, sunny morning Feb 3, 2024. Even though her flow was low, I didn't mind. As for me, she never disappoints. Today I hiked down from above and completely understand why the former trail was decommissioned. It's far too dangerous of a descent for children, the elderly and people lacking hiking experience with careless tendencies. Compared with the existing trail, I found the former trail to be more of a "cut to the chase" excursion. (accepting for today's overgrown and "lack of" trail and the number of downed trees to maneuver over, through and around).The existing "new" trail today offers a beautiful array of mountain ridgeline views as the trail rises and falls along the way. Yellow Branch will always be uniquely special to me because it was one of the first waterfalls, I hiked to and photographed years ago. I have made many captures here and some with the waterfall full to overflowing. This morning, I had her all to myself for about 45 minutes. I hiked back out on the existing trail and met many people hiking in. No doubt, I'll be back many more times. It was such a great beginning for my new 2024 year of adventure hiking to waterfalls🍷🍷💙
the future is unclear but with these two everything looks optimistic.

Desert Draw
566 miles. That was the plan for September the 8th—to make it to Wyoming. After shooting Amtrak 187 the previous evening and enjoying the sunset, the going consensus was that there would be nothing to shoot the following morning. Why not sleep in just a little? Of course, the railroad always has other plans. Shortly after getting up, there went an eastbound through Green River, Amtrak nowhere in sight and the sun already suspended in a cloudless sky. Thompson was the obvious place to shoot this one, but we weren’t even close to beating it there. We just managed to get ahead of it here at Cisco for a quick shot, aided by UP’s faulty track infrastructure. And that was it. Off it went into Ruby Canyon, joined by clouds that would cover the rest of its journey into Colorado. With no time in the schedule to wait for it once more, we called it a win and off we went.
There is a certain appeal to the desert, especially for a place that has so few trains. Beyond just its geography, the excitement of finding a train when you don’t expect one is the complete opposite of how most of the time is spent experiencing the hobby, at least for many of us, and more than anything, I appreciated the sit, wait and hope approach—almost as if it was my first time again, witnessing the hobby through the innocent and optimistic perspective I started with before I knew any better. It’s often the mystery and the unknown that first draws us to a certain place. Keeping places mysterious in our minds on purpose, or perhaps on accident, might be one of the best strategies to keep an otherwise monotonous and stagnant hobby interesting.

Wandering around the desert southwest we came upon an abandoned set of buildings covered in graffiti. This is the only one i found providing some hope.
But then, there is always the fine print!

Optimistically waiting for a glimmer of sunshine on an overcast morning in woodland in Uppland in Central Sweden back in mid-June (1165)
The night before was beset with storms and so I wasn't at all optimistic I would get any decent sunrise shots at Cape Bruny. But I set the alarm clock anyway.
When I woke the rain had stopped, but I couldn't see the night sky, so assumed the worst. Still I was prepared to take the 30 kilometre drive through the South Bruny National Park to the lighthouse and take my chances.
When I arrived it was very dark and the only light I had was a small flashlight as I made my way up the steep path to the lighthouse over 100 metres above sea level. Then as the winds blew I noticed the moon appearing behind the cloud cover. So I set up my tripod and took this 30 second exposure by moonlight.
My title comes from the book about a secret British commando landing in Crete during WW2. This book by Stanley Moss was made into a 1957 film starring Dirk Bogarde. Ill Met by Moonlight [Dirk Bogarde] (1957) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ahvCt9r4R4
The Nazis had turned Crete into an impenetrable fortress and had virtually enslaved the local population. The aim of this daring night raid was to capture the General Heinrich Kreipe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Kreipe
Daffodil heart from my garden to yours! I will see you all in two weeks. :D
“Daffodils are an optimistic flower, and foolproof. You know what Shakespeare said:
"Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty."
...I plant them in big clumps with a trusty shovel. I make several large holes all around and put quite a few in. That's why it makes such a spectacular look when they bloom.”

I am not optimistic that it will make it to produce a pumpkin as it is proving to be such a cool summer and pumpkins need a lot of warmth but I carry on hoping.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.
I am not able to take on any more members to follow or to post to groups
I’m not optimistic… so I cannot say “think pink”
I’m not (so much) pessimistic and I do not wanna say “think grey”
So… this morning was soooo grey, again!
So I remembered one of the last pink morning we had!
I kept this shot for a grey day!
And it’s getting colder…
My perfect xmas gift? A summer weather forever!
Of course even the sea was different: instead of a flat table like this we had a waving water!! :D
That left Lassie a bit…puzzled! She was standing off, just to be sure to be safe! :P
Happy Furry Pink&Grey Friday !
PS
Grey or Pink? Black!

Thank you Flickr Friends !
This picture was taken in Blue Ridge, Georgia at our cabin. Jill and Bella make a wonderful team. If you're not familiar with the pug breed, they are wonderful pets. ...As many of you know, Jill is my daughter who was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 3 years old. Since this picture has been taken, Jill's health has taken a turn for the worse. We are now looking at a recurrence, but not sure at this point. Her doctors are scanning her brain and spine every 3 months to see what is taking place. We are remaining optimistic and praying for God's intervention. After all, He is the Great Physician!
Alongside this crazy and scary pandemic, it's lovely to see that spring is still on course to brighten our days.
Stay optimistic and safe everyone.
There is something really quite ethereal about this scene - the sunrise is perfectly positioned behind the trio of trees to create a magnificent glow or "aurora" which is really pleasing on the eye - taken a few weeks ago, this is right up there with my favourites (so much so that I put it forward for LPOTY) - optimistic, but ever hopeful.
