HTT from my girl with indomitable optimism. Loving life. Loving Gumbo. Repeatedly getting gummed, but always returning for just one more shot at receiving even a small bit of Gumbo's affection. Gummed again. Even drenched, but her joy and optimism continue to flow.

Day 201
28th February
Had a lovely evening yesterday, Mum and I went for a spa evening at the Nirvana Spa in Berkshire, it was a birthday present albeit it a belated one as my birthday was in August! It was lovely, had a salt water flotation treatment & then spent several hours swimming and relaxing in steam room/sauna and reading with a drink. Bliss, pure relaxation.
Today its another horrible day for weather, bucketing it down on and off all day. I managed to get out this afternoon into the garden and I managed to get this shot of my Dad's lovely snowdrops. I was quite pleased with how they came out with the 50mm lens!
March tomorrow so hopefully spring is on its way now...

Cancer survivor Lorann Snow participates in Opening Ceremony Yoga. I was impressed with her optimism and strength.

It was raining heavily for the past four days and cyclonic weather was reported.But in my city the bright sun came up this morning .I hope the slushy streets will be a little dry and we will be able to move out .
This was in the St James Barton underpass, where graf gets cleaned off very quickly, so this was the most ephemeral of poems. It reminds me of Frank in Kim Stanley Robinson's 'Science in the Capital' trilogy.
"When I wish I was dead -
and I hate my friends
I must repeat this till
the end
I still have a home
even if my
home's a VAN!"
Story short: Walking to work, I noticed a tiny envelope blutack'd onto a subway wall with “Read Me” written on it.
I took a shot (as you do) and put the envelope in my pocket. Inside the envelope was a small note that said: “Not to spoil the ending ~ but everything is going to be alright.”
I've no idea who placed it there or why. Random Acts of Optimism.
"For me optimism is two lovers walking into the sunset arm in arm. Or maybe into the sunrise - whatever appeals to you."

The yellow rose can indicate strength and are encouraging for someone going through a difficult time such as when healing from illness or surgery. This one was photographed at the end of a session, so not with a particular intentionat this point, but I see this one as hope against adversity. The strength and optimism of the yellow/orange rose fighting its way forward and not giving up.
You wouldn't know by her smile, but the cancer has spread to her eyes, brain, spine, and lungs. I don't think I've ever seen her more optimistic than she is today.
