Ramli, shown here with his family, was first diagnosed in 2002. Despite his worry over an impending job loss and his younger daughter who was born with Down Syndrome, he kept himself occupied with hobbies and filled his days with laughter and positivity.
When his cancer relapsed in 2006, he continued to maintain a positive mindset. His trademark smile and laughter were a living testimony of hope to many.
I was walking around Victoria Park in Hong Kong one cold Sunday morning. As on any Sunday, the park is filled with foreign domestic helper on their day off. Since they have no where else to go, they usually make a day long picnic on any open spot they can find. Most of the domestic helper lives in appalling condition by western standard, living in rooms barely large enough to be called closet. When I pointed my camera at this woman, she had a rather depressed look on her, but as soon as she spotted me, she smiled and gave me a decidedly optimistic thumb up.
ODC2 - Our Daily Challenge - Optimism or Pessimism
Standing in one spot just before 8 this morning I took these two shots. The first is looking to the East and the second looking to the West.
Well what do you think? Will it be cloudy and wet or sunny and warm today? :-)
I want it to be sunny and warm but will let you know later what the weather turned out like!
Thanks for stopping by, any comments are always appreciated, I am here to learn and grow creatively!
What do you think the weather will do?
(And which image do you think I should leave in ODC this one or the one in comments?)
Have a wonderful weekend! :-)
The weather turned out to be totally changeable, from cloudy and cool to sunny and hot and then thunderstorms, a little bit of everything all day long!!

Quixotic is a word that came about because of Don Quixote, the hero of romance written by Miguel de Cervantes. Quixotic can apply to those that are caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unrealistic goals. They are dreamers. This adjective also applies to people who are idealistic, romantic, and impractical. As we know, in modern day society, those descriptions aren’t always translated as flattering, and one can go as far as to say that these descriptions are a sign of weakness. Sometimes, quixotic people are accused of viewing life as an illusion, because they adhere to utopian models of living. (fragment from ezinearticles.com/?Are-You-Quixotic?&id=657318)

This mural on one of the subways under the St James Barton roundabout in Bristol seems to sum up the life of those people hoping for spare change from passers-by as they sit hopefully under their blankets. This subway does lead from the new 'Bear Pit' market to the "People's Republic" of Stokes Croft so maybe room for just a little optimism.
August 2016 and Buses of Somerset had vanquished Webberbus. They had won the war and virtually all of the fleet was in the attractive green livery as shown by B7RLE 69206 MV06DYU seen here at Wells bus station.
Fast forward less than 18 months and another wave of frequency cuts and the image/future looks less assured. The 77 from Yeovil to Wells is now being cut from a 3 to 2 bus operation.
