Shelter in Place, San Francisco, California
It's a dreary day in San Francisco. Though we need the rain, it's hard thing to wake up to. I'm glad it stopped long enough for me to sneak out into the garden for a photo, but I'm back inside, wrapped in a blanket, waiting for the sun to reappear as I read more stunning headlines. In my waking hours I believe we can get through this. I am heartened by the signs of new life that peek out among the ferns.
“The true optimist not only expects the best to happen, but goes to work to make the best happen. The true optimist not only looks upon the bright side, but trains every force that is in him to produce more and more brightness in his life….”

I like the way this looks Large On Black
I'll try to catch up with all of my contacts when I can...things are a bit busy...
And in honour of that momentous occasion, I present to you a fence. Hallelujah and praise the Lord Jesus, our savior! Thank you for Friday and let there many more just like it... umm, or maybe even better! (One should always wear their optimism loudly and proudly on their sleeve... however, if you're wearing something like a muscle shirt, or for the ladies a slinky nightgown with those strappy things holding it up, a bracelet or tattoo will suffice.)
Can you feel optimistic when you look at this photo? I do. Is it just a feeling or do the colors make me feel that! I really don't know.
Hope you like it

Just having fun editing. I removed the 2 dark spots as suggested by T.Morris (thanks, i didn't notice them) and replaced the file.
Mike!! thank you thank you thank you!! this was such an awesome surprise today. I was so tickled I had to put it up immediately. front and center of my desk - will grab a frame very soon!
I owe you a payback print! let me know what I can send your way! :)
Finally finding time to pick the camera up again. Liked the light play in the green stones. Also thought the 'light' theme was cool, because Garbo is doing much, much better!
Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus) Having stolen the flat fish from a Cormorant in the harbour then had no idea what to do next
Several miles of walking along this logging road finally brings us near the forest trailhead that leads to Twin Falls. A most welcome sight.
Once I pondered optimism for the "in the future" challenge I just couldn't get it out of my head. I thought this photo was a good symbol for optimism :)
I believe if we remain optimistic, even through very difficult times, we grow! I also believe that if you are pessimistic through dark times, it will hinder your growth... (I could write forever on this topic, but I'd best go and make my tea :))
