"An optimist is someone who tells you to cheer up when things are going his way."
Written on the back of a Kraft sugar package dated early 90s.
Waiting for waterfowl. She is a bit wet here as she had just retrieved a mallard from the river. Despite her optimism, that turned out to be the last bird of the day.

I always try to be an optimistic person, but it's a difficult mental state to keep going all the time. I like to remind myself that whatever obstacles are in my way, I have the power to overcome.
May be it's a set of sun in literature
May be it's a golden coin for you...
It can be a yolk for housewife
And adidas golden ball for Forlan too...
It also can be the starting of dark night in pessimism
At a glance a patient can imagine as medicament too...
But, for me it's a new hope for life of truth...

The Stellar Octopus cyanea from Madagascar
Over 3 billion people’s livelihoods depend on marine and coastal biodiversity around the world. Fishery management provides economic benefits of conservation and community engagement with broader marine management. Madagascar has incredible biodiversity, but due to climate change, as well as over exploitation, it’s delicate marine ecosystem is at high risk. Local fisheries engage with the community to practice “no-take” conservation periods which allows the octopus time to become old enough to reproduce and increases the catch for those who depend on it.
Octopus cyanea moves along the seafloor camouflaging itself not only with color but with texture. Although octopuses are normally nocturnal, Octopus cyanea prefers twilight. Yet it is also known as the Day Octopus, because it can be found hunting in cooperation with a roving coral grouper fish who often points out hiding prey when the octopus seeks shelter in the coral. It’s lifespan is about 12-14 months from its planktonic larval state.

Project Origins:
Inspired by the world’s premier Ocean Sciences Meeting in February 2020, Seaport Village and The Port of San Diego have invited artist Jessica Ling Findley to produce a series of art experiences. She will help bring science to life through art at Seaport Village from December 2019 to February 2020. As ocean vitality becomes more critical with changing climate, these works, produced with input and data from scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Birch Aquarium, explore how stories of Ocean Optimism can inspire us all to work together for a sustainable future. These immersive experiences invite audiences to think about the future of our oceans in new and creative ways.

I didn't take anything interesting today, however the amazing weather reminded me of this photo I took a while ago at Rosy Mound. Summer can't come soon enough.

PARADISE
by Shay Segev
Please take my advice,
Let's do something nice,
Fill our love with spice -
Let's go to paradise
We'll have a lot of fun,
Lying in the sun,
Grabbing the sand,
Feeling like one
Chorus
Oh dear, Can you hear?
Paradise really is here
If we call it, loud and clear,
I promise, It will appear!
Let's take a break from all the rush
In the water jump and splash,
My whispers will make you blush,
It's so exciting, oh my gosh!
Oh my dear, If you'd agree,
We'll have a picnic under the tree
I'll ask you to marry me
Can you believe that it could be?
Chorus - Oh dear, Can you hear?....
I'd like that it would last forever
Just you and me, all together
But even if for a little while,
Let me know that you are mine
Oh baby, please don't cry
Because I know, and you can't deny,
Our love will never die,
So cheer up and give me a big smile!
Chorus - Oh dear, Can you hear?....
And even if you will resist
Over and over I will consist
That paradise truly exists
It's not a dream or myst
In the meantime, take my hand
Close your eyes, see the dreamland
As more detailed the dream is drew
This quickly we'll force it, to come true!
Chorus - Oh dear, Can you hear?....
Niantic's Book Barn spills out of the barn, into five or more outbuildings, and then into two downtown locations, too. I do not recall which location this was. But it's definitely in Niantic, Connecticut.
ONE DRUM, ONE MISSION
Cardio Drumming is the most fun I've ever seen people having while working out at an exercise class! And THAT is why they come back, and what makes this so popular in Detroit.
Everybody is an instant rock star, whether or not they have any actual musical ability.
This is an activity that automatically adjusts itself to the ability level of any participant. Mild or wild, it's up to you...but the harder you hit the ball the more exercise you're getting.
You can't stand? No problem, we'll bring you a chair. If you are breathing, you're in!

These poor daffodils. So keen to see the sunlight. Mild weather happens most of winter before unexpected snow buggers up their plans. Oh well
I look at the world through Rose-Coloured Glasses :-)
Queensland, Australia.
People Who Wear Rose-Colored Glasses See More, Study Shows
June 6, 2009 — A University of Toronto study provides the first direct evidence that our mood literally changes the way our visual system filters our perceptual experience suggesting that seeing the world through rose-coloured glasses is more biological reality than metaphor.
“Good and bad moods literally change the way our visual cortex operates and how we see,”…
