I am back to my yellow challenge: "What does yellow represent" in Google and this was their response: "The Color Yellow. Yellow, the lightest hue of the spectrum, signifies joy, happiness, betrayal, optimism, caution, idealism, imagination, hope, sunshine, summer, gold, philosophy, dishonesty, cowardice, jealousy, covetousness, deceit, illness, hazard and friendship". So I decided to try my hand at

optimism, and found it a pretty big challenge, I hope you like what I have done.

 

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

For those who wondered how the bird I previously posted ate the fish...the answer he didn't...not for want of trying though. He tried really hard but gave up after 15 minutes or so.

Oh I have to go , no time but I will return later

 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

:~)

 

This was inspired by the oil spill....Despite the darkness of the hour and the seeming lack of hope, she peacefully surrenders to her journey.

There’s a moment every year in Florida when the air shifts. The locals feel it first a subtle disturbance in the humidity, a faint echo of Bluetooth speakers warming up, the distant scent of sunscreen and questionable decisions drifting in from the horizon.

 

This image captures that exact moment: the last breath of calm before the annual migration begins.

 

Two figures stand silhouetted on the boardwalk, framed by palms that have seen more spring breaks than they care to remember. One person lifts a phone, documenting the peace while it still exists. The other stands with a stroller, the universal symbol of “we live here,” quietly bracing for the incoming tide of neon tank tops, flip‑flop stampedes, and sunburned optimism.

 

The black‑and‑white treatment turns the scene into a study of contrasts not just light and shadow, but locals and visitors, serenity and chaos, normal life and the seasonal storm about to roll in. The boardwalk stretches forward like a runway, ready to receive the incoming wave of humanity that will soon turn this quiet moment into a festival of noise, laughter, and mild regret.

 

It’s humorous, it’s honest, and it’s unmistakably Florida: a place where even the palm trees know to prepare themselves.

I ran 15km today. My farthest distance in a year at least. My body hurts a great deal. I feel old.

Pretty appropriate since I have heavy French and English heritage. And NO, this isn't BF1 inspired. I honestly don't find the game accurate or appealing.

Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.

One of the meanings of yellow flowers is associated with friendship. In addition, this color also symbolizes the joy of life, optimism and energy. Therefore, it is a perfect gift for those who are a little down

The invasive buckthorn plant are prolific in parts of Mary Cummings Park in Burlington.

The plant winds itself around native trees as it searches for sunlight. The weight of the buckthorn pulls its host down. In this section of the park, the buckthorn has formed a tunnel as plants from either side of the path have merged in the canopy.

After yesterday's dismal farewell to 2016, I think we need a burst of bright optimism to take forward into 2017.

I wish I could claim this was a photo of a new dawn, but those who know the area would work out this was the wrong direction and the sun was actually setting....

The fog below and the cloud above made it feel like I was flying rather than being at the top of a hill.

Hope it all works out for you this year.

Wishing all a great week ahead from the Florida Keys
