When you're faced with challenges, never give up!
Let's keep building one another up and focusing on the good that is all around us. And let's keep shining bright, my friends!
The path of a new year stretches ahead of us all. May it be one which remains even, and not climb too sharply. I hope that the sky be filled with wonder and the sparkling beauty of the landscape hint at the joy which may linger around each and every corner.

“After years of having a dog, you know him. You know the meaning of his snuffs and grunts and barks. Every twitch of the ears is a question or statement, every wag of the tail is an exclamation.”
― Robert R. McCammon, Boy's Life
“A person can learn a lot from a dog, even a loopy one like ours. Marley taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things-a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of winter sunlight. And as he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.”
― John Grogan, Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog

Thank you very much for viewing my photos, I appreciate the faves and comments!
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 :-)
I hit the 15m views milestone on 31st December so figured I'd scan a few slides from the 1970s where it all started. Was it really 11 years ago when I opened the Flickr account?!
Pictured here are 'Black 5' 4-6-0 45379 and 4-6-2 'Pacific' 71000 'Duke of Gloucester' standing at Dai Woodhams scrapyard in Barry with good cause for optimism of being saved.
I wonder if the same could be said of the dockyard crane in the background, owned by C H Bailey Ltd.
Just behind the 'Black 5' is what looks like a 'Jinty'. I've a few candidates from my notes, but have yet to find a positive ID.
Update: After further research, and on the basis of the markings below the number and along the frame, I believe the 'Jinty' is 47298. If you have any better information, please let me know!
Map placement is directional.
Thanks to everyone who has taken a peek over the years.

What a year it's been. And didn't we all say things would be back to normal for last summer? Oh, well it's Christmas again. And we've managed to get most of our family together (the benefits of having a B&B). I've got some great Flickr friends and contacts, many of whom I don't deserve as I'm not particularly good at responding to comments. But I do appreciate them and try to reciprocate by taking and posting more pictures, sometimes of questionable quality....like this one. Merry Christmas to you all. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing this Christmas I hope you can share good times with family and friends and can look towards 2022 with friendship and optimism.
including what is ugly ;-)

- With their optimistic hue and general association with good cheer, yellow roses are the perfect way to toast friends, lift spirits and send a general wish for well-being. And that’s great news for those who love roses—the rose is known for its simple, architectural beauty, but some colors are so loaded with significance that they can be a bit tricky to work with. Sending a get-well bouquet of red roses to your administrative assistant might raise eyebrows around the office, for instance. Suffice it to say, you can never go wrong with yellow roses.
Long associated with the sun and its life-giving warmth, yellow is the age-old spokes-color for warm feelings of friendship and optimism. In many Eastern cultures, the color represents joy, wisdom and power.

Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell
As Every Fairytale Comes Real
He took my hand
I felt my heart expand
The silver sand
Like Mercury beneath our feet
A promised land
Awaits us now and
Shines like Moonlight on the sea
And guarantees the golden band
Beneath the ocean deep
Dreams like beacons meet
And songs that only Mermaids know
Sea shanties draw us further out and so
The shore become a distant blur
And as the clear horizon beckons
So I concur

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!! 😊
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 ;-)

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.
Multi exposure shot with icm in winter woodland heading towards Spring. Material adjustment to white balance to replicate a sense of place.
Have you realised that the trees outside that you walk or drive past everyday are starting to form new leaves ready for Spring? 🌿

“An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . . The truly wise person is colorblind.” (Albert Schweitzer)
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.
but Mama, that's where the fun is ....
A deliberately over-exposed photo which I've edited slightly to show off the stones.
I really like the elegance of this simple sculpture. I'd only fired off three shots and on the fourth I captured an image of falling stones as a gust of wind took it down. that's how it goes sometimes.
The song reminds me of my late brother David and of the youthful optimism we shared growing up together.
I wonder what he'd be like now and what we'd talk about.
