One of two photos taken in Humber Bay Park, Toronto yesterday.
Today there will be rain all day, sometimes heavy so I am so glad that I took a long walk yesterday.
Best seen large thanks for visiting and for your feedback. Enjoy every day.
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:

Life and love are the most precious gifts that we have been given, and they are both beautiful in their own unique way. Life is a journey that we embark upon with great anticipation, full of twists and turns that challenge us to be the best versions of ourselves. It is a canvas upon which we can paint our dreams, aspirations, and desires, creating a tapestry that reflects the beauty of our innermost being.
Love, on the other hand, is the heartbeat of life. It is the magical force that binds us together and fills our souls with warmth, tenderness, and compassion. It is the ultimate expression of our humanity, a powerful force that transcends all boundaries and unites us in a shared experience of joy and fulfillment.
When we embrace the beauty of life and love, we tap into a wellspring of motivation and inspiration that propels us forward towards our goals and dreams. We are reminded of the infinite possibilities that exist within us, and we are empowered to seize each moment with grace, courage, and conviction.
So let us celebrate the beauty of life and love with joy and gratitude, for they are the very essence of our existence. Let us cultivate a spirit of positivity and optimism, knowing that the future is bright and filled with promise.
And let us never forget that the beauty of life and love is a gift that we must cherish and nurture with all our hearts.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Geel staat symbool voor vreugde, optimisme, energie en intellect, maar kan ook voorzichtigheid of lafheid aanduiden afhankelijk van de context.
Geel wordt vaak gebruikt in design, mode en reclame om aandacht te trekken en een gevoel van vriendelijkheid en positiviteit te creëren
In het dagelijks leven zien we geel terug in verkeersborden, gevarentape en waarschuwingen, waar het staat voor voorzichtigheid en alertheid.
In persoonlijkheidstests, gebaseerd op Carl Jung, representeert geel een invloedrijke, creatieve en energieke persoonlijkheid die anderen motiveert en enthousiasme creëert

Yellow symbolizes joy, optimism, energy, and intellect, but can also indicate caution or cowardice depending on the context.
Yellow is often used in design, fashion, and advertising to attract attention and create a sense of friendliness and positivity.
In daily life, we see yellow in traffic signs, hazard tape, and warnings, where it stands for caution and alertness.
In personality tests based on Carl Jung, yellow represents an influential, creative, and energetic personality that motivates others and creates enthusiasm.
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 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! ❤️❤️❤️

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 ;-)

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!! 😊
I was walking home at the end of the day down the very narrow lane that leads to our house when I turned around to see if I might catch the sun over the hedgerow. Fortune and timing smiled upon me :^). Then it was turn back, another kilometre and a cup of tea........
January weather was a little kinder and we had a couple of sunny days. It held optimism of a fine spring after months of relentless rain, but February just dropped more and more rain washing out snowdrops and crocuses and the aconites rotted off as soon as they showed. Streams and rivers bursting their banks,farmers fields with standing water everywhere, we even have it pooling on some of our flower beds and we are really well drained here, on a slope and right next to a river......
The rain started in the second half of last summer, about July fairly regularly, much more than normal but from the end of September it has been relentless apart from a spell in January. Dark grey and gloomy twilight conditions with sun rarely showing at all. If the sun and blue sky do try and show through, the planes fly over and leave their trails from horizon to horizon which then spread out to form a silvery sheath across the sky which then turns into thick cloud cover - every time.
If you want to know what is going on with the weather, just look up......... I'll give an example in the comments -
Have you realised that the trees outside that you walk or drive past everyday are starting to form new leaves ready for Spring? 🌿
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.

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.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️ ❤️ ❤️
They say if you go into something expecting the worst, you can't be disappointed. Well, I was far from disappointed this past Sunday after expecting not a drop of sun during the chase of SIBF after my friend let me know to cool it with the optimism. We ended up with the earliest/most timely SIBF in recent memory, the fucker even making it to Wales before the sun fully set which created multiple opportunities for shots like this. With a smoke show from the fellow railroad enjoyer in the cab, our 4-pack of 40's screamed into one of the last remaining sun pockets along the treed-in nightmareland we call the B&P, giving us our shot of the day and some much needed success. This my first visit to my reliable Class 2 since January and will probably be the first of many impulse visits in the next few weeks.

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.
