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!!
At the Birmingham Social Media Cafe on October 29th 2010, we asked people what they were optimistic about.
It's a spin-off from newoptimists.com. We asked scientists 'what are you optimistic about?' — and their answers are now in a brilliant book.

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)

See the "Beach Walk #312 - Hope and Optimism" video
Hope is fed by optimism. What are you optimistic about?Jane asked in a comment a while back for Beach Walks to talk about hope (after we had been talking about faith v trust.) Meanwhile, Joe sent me a link to www.edge.org. The Edge asks a question at the beginning of each year, and many well-known thinkers provide their opinions. So I thought we could do something related as a Beach Walks episode! I would love to hear what you are optimistic about, and Secret Cameraman and I will put it al together for an upcoming episode. Here is my idea:Submit a video clip, audio clip, or text statement answering the question, "What are you optimistic about?"If you submit audio or text, please consider providing us with a snapshot of you so we can use it in the video.Please provide your name (first only is fine), your location if you want, and in 2-3 sentences your answer. (Keep it short and to the point!)Send it to us by January 10th, and we'll assemble it for episode #325. Email us with y
our answers and ideas.Ideally, submit video at 640x480 in .mov format. Deliver it to us using these free services: www.dropsend.com www.yousendit.comIf you prefer, leave your comment on the Conch line and send a photo; we'll put it together!Thank you to our closing round of Kaimoku donors!

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.
