Ten optimistic recruits look eager for their chance at the Germans. The note on this post card reads, "I think you can pick me out in here. If you can't write to me and I will tell you. Four of the boys in this picture are going to France with the Battery when they go."
The fully outfitted soldier on the right holds an Enfield No. 3 Mark I rifle. Manufactured in the US by Remington and Winchester, it was a near-twin of the M 1903 Springfield but is differentiated in this photo by the sights and receiver.
... 15 minutes from the first whistle to the EM final against Spain. After the crap performance of our guys their mood wasn't quite as happy 15 minutes from the last.
Even in sickness she's looking at the world as a new and exciting thing. Watching her learn and experience is exciting. It's captivating to see what life holds for her. She's the very definition of optimistic for me.

Do trees have a character? The birch's branches and twigs all hang down sadly, while this willow in my garden looks more jubilant... / Zouden bomen 'n karakter hebben? De takken en twijgen van de berk hangen allemaal droevig omlaag, terwijl deze wilg in m'n tuin lijkt te juichen...

From Fotheringhay the road was a lonely one, three miles or so to my next port of call, which when I got there turned out to be a rather suburban village but with a solid little entirely Early English church at its heart. Entirely a Huntingdonshire church in style, with a stubby spire and big dormer-style lucarnes.
I left my bike in the Early English porch, which is vaulted in blocks of stone, handsome yet familiar. But then I stepped into what turned out to be the most interesting interior of the day. The most striking feature, and rather a surprising one, is that the roof of the nave is vaulted in wood. This was done in the 13th Century, and the bosses survive from that time - even more surprising, they all depict green men, nine of them. Why was this not done elsewhere?
The rood screen is one of the best in the area, and the medieval pulpit appears to be constructed of rood screen panels (can that be right? Did they come from the rood loft? Surely it is pre-Reformation, in which case perhaps they came from somewhere else). Lots to think about. A good church, it would be considered so in any county.
As I was about to leave the church three young women came in. They were walking the Nene Way, and were attired as you might expect attractive young women to be on such a sunny day. I didn't want them to be made nervous by the presence of a middle-aged man with a camera, so I nodded a greeting as I left, but in the event they engaged me in conversation, asking me where I'd come from, telling me what they were doing, where they were going, and so on.
In the end I had to make my apologies and leave as they didn't seem to want to let me go, not an experience I have very often these days, I can tell you. It rather put me in mind of the Sirens episode in the Odyssey.
And so I headed on, wary now of any wandering rocks and one-eyed giants.

Nairobi, May 30 : Long-serving Athletics Kenya (AK) boss Isaiah Kiplagat is still optimistic of winning one of the four seats for world athletic governing body, IAAF vice-presidency despite failing to broker a deal to field one African candidate.

I am Jaz. I love my family, friends, and I enjoy spending time having fun. I am a very happy optimistic person and try to put my best effort into everything I do. Art is something I have a passion for, I love everything from crafts to digital photography. I am constantly incorporating art into my life every day whether it be by color or through décor in my room. I also am a very outdoorsy kind of person. I am a fan of leather, browns, feathers and Native American types of patterns as well. I would rather be outside than on the couch and I would rather open a window than crank the air-conditioning. I like to play around a lot as well and just act like a complete kid. I absolutely love everything about my life and try to see the good in every situation.
Personally, I think art is a happy place for me, so I choose to use a lot of bright colors in my work. That also reflects my happy personality. I also try to have bright light in my photos because I feel that is when I take the best photos. In my opinion pictures look the best when they are taken in natural light so a lot of my photos are taken outdoors, this is also in part because I like spending time outside. When I can’t be outside I try to make my lighting reflect the look of natural light. Another common factor through-out my photos is high contrast, this is another element of my work that is reflected by my personality, not only do I think photos look most crisp with high contrast but I also think the contrast reflects that I am a very fun loving person but I am very serious about always doing my best. My photography is a reflection of my life, personality, and mood.
When planning my digital photography final project, I did not have to think very long or very hard, I immediately knew what I would be doing before I even started the course. The first thing that came to mind was my family, I wanted to include them no matter what. Then I began to think how I could incorporate my family into a project, without much effort on their part. I thought about what I love about my family and I realized it was the happiness I feel when I am with them. This is when I knew that candid photos would best represent my emotions. My family is consistently laughing, I wanted to take photos to portray to the viewer the sense of happiness and laughter we enjoy every day. I took over two hundred and eighty pictures in order to get the eight most perfect examples. It may seem contradictory at first but I chose to use black and white photos for two reasons. The first being that, I think of memories as being black and white, and secondly because my plan to mount them in a very colorful quilt. Although I used black and white, I also tried to up the contrast in order to give the photos a bright happy feel, and I blurred the backgrounds in order to make the viewer focus solely on the happy subject. I tried to tie all of my works’ main elements into my project, and I think I did pretty well with that. This is by far my favorite project of the class.

Written by a child on the sidewalk of Forest Avenue in Caldwell, New Jersey at the start of the 2020-21 school year, which began in Caldwell an West Caldwell with remote learning only.
Things will get back to normal? We'll see about that.
Though I guess we should never give up . . .

I saw this dead duck (a scaup, I think) floating in the bay (I don't think it was hunter kill, as I saw no blood) and after a while this Western Gull came over hoping to make a meal of the scaup's misfortune. But the gull never could figure out how to get started so after about 5-10 minutes it gave up and flew away.
“We are optimistic because we have every reason to be,” said Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlotte Nash as she delivered her State of the County address on Thursday, January 16, 2014, at the Gwinnett Center during the annual State of the County luncheon hosted by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce and the Council for Quality Growth.
Turning attention to the future, Nash reminded the audience that the County’s bicentennial is coming in December 2018. She used this milestone to illustrate the importance of planning Gwinnett’s third century. “I believe that our plans should be aimed at Gwinnett setting the standard for a thriving community, not just being a mediocre also-ran,” she said. “It’s going to take all of us – not just those of us in this room, but all of Gwinnett’s individuals and communities – working together to make this a reality.”

Those who study the moon are optimists. They look at the bright side.

I had forgotten that I took these pictures. It was ridiculously bright that day when we went to the Drive-In theater. I also remember that it was the first night I was cold in a long, long time.
i miss warm weather and not having to deal with school everyday. i miss easier times during the summer.
if you could please either ask permission to blog my photos or credit them that'd be great, thank you.

Highly optimistic Me
on the day before Metodology Exam
:)
Zimny poniedziałek
gorącą stanie się niedzielą.
To co nie pozmywane
samo zmyje się.
Nieśmiały dotąd głos
odezwie się jak dzwon w kościele,
a tego, czego mało,
Nie będzie wcale mniej...
Choć mało rozumiem,
a dzwony fałszywe,
coś mówi mi, że
jeszcze wszystko będzie możliwe

I shot this one on the way to Lavasa from Pune. This is a direct outcome from my Nikon D90, and cropped using Picasa. So far, this is most favorite of mine.
Took this one on the first beautiful sunny day after the torrential rains in California last month. Looks like someone was celebrating!
I am easy-going, optimistic, smart, caring person who likes to smile and take everything good from every situation. I like communicating with interesting people and take their life experience, I like fashion a lot and try to be beautiful all the time, because women should be women. I love Music, spending time with my friends and my family and to support them when they need my help, I like animals very much, dogs and cats. They are so cute and devoted and they always love you more than themselves. I like dancing a lot, I think I am very good at it, playing bowling, travelling of course and just have fun. Ideal match description: I am looking for a life partner, with whom I will make steps to the bright future together. I want him to be strong, decent, caring and understanding, a man who will will make me happy and make me laugh, no matter how hard and difficult it can be and a strong shoulder who can support me in the hardest time and who will give me a hand and make me calm and safe.
