Courts have refused to consider all of the 50+ court challenges that attempted to expunge perfectly legal votes. The electoral college has voted. One vaccine has been approved and other vaccines are in the approval process. Inoculations of first responders has begun. These events allow the return of optimism.

The Hoptimist represents positivness. These corona days, optimism is strongly under pressure from all sides of life. Stay SAFE :-)

Halfway done with 2020 and living in a Covid limbo...although it's been a challenge and down right depressing at times, we've been coping by getting lots of nature therapy whenever we can while exercising extreme caution and mornings like these definitely fill us with much needed joy and optimism for the future.
only one way left if you down... stand up, straight to to the sunshine...
and about the processing: i put it the Photomatix Pro 3.2 making from a single file HDR image, then a little bit Lightroom, after PS3 and add the texture...
thanks the texture, i found it here:

Portland Harbour from Portland Beach Road - November 2016
Perhaps the grow-light encourages sideways growth? And no, those tiny shoots are not falling; just growing in different directs. Very independent.
Still, since it is raining again, good to have things growing indoors. Shot in softbox with off-camera strobe triggering two lights on stands. Earlier view from 2-18 appears in first comment, back when the shoots had just begun their move to independence.
Thanks for looking and indulging my fun ;-)

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe, and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
Tiny buds on a twig (sticks) today, ready for next spring. Nature amazes me with her preparation and tiny signs, even during our cold week.
Slight crop only. I added a 36mm extension tube to the 105mm f2.8 macro lens which gives an ethereal look to the buds. The yellow/gold lichen on branches and other red buds ready to grow next spring account for the hues in the background.
Hope this works for you.
Inspired by #MacroMondays and #stick. Little more than 5cm from one side of frame to the other.
With heartfelt and sincere thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful day, stay healthy, stay alert, appreciate the beauty around you, enjoy being creative, stay safe, 😊😊😍
Multi exposure shot with icm in winter woodland heading towards Spring. Material adjustment to white balance to replicate a sense of place.
Facing the sunlight coming towards us , through the golden leaves (at the Château wonderland), in Autumn, feels like we are showered with thousands of blessings and a ….pink optimism!!! Our hearts become uplifted, and we feel like all of our dreams might come true!!!!!….
❤️❤️❤️ …..And what if this Light were the NEW YEAR’S LIGHT ? 😊😊
….Plus, that my captures are showered with a fabulous golden light , that becomes my sublime model!! 😊

Have you realised that the trees outside that you walk or drive past everyday are starting to form new leaves ready for Spring? 🌿

And for all of you who visited my father's stream at the weekend and hoped he would post more shots, y.ou're optimism has proved to be well founded. One more picture -the original creme brulee! - has appeared. :-)
Taken at the same time as the picture of Darumus ministractus yesterday, this shot of the London Eye is part of the ministract set.

Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.

Professor Pangloss, aware that one word can be more powerful than a thousand images, waiting for the moment when the lamp of wisdom and knowledge will light up and illuminate the world. I have spoken to Pangloss. He told me that he can already see in the dark and that serious philosophical reflection is expected to trigger beams of light, strong enough to make this world the best of all possible ones.
