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.

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...

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 ;-)

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.
