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

[Ambrose Bierce]

 

The solar panels will be struggling on this particularly drizzly, grim morning as EMR Aurora Class 810 No. 810009 crosses Harringworth Viaduct working 3A25, the 08:14 Derby – Wellingborough. 19 February 2026.

Several plants, including a red maple, have colonized this boulder surrounded by the water of a New Hampshire pond, perhaps 50 feet from the shore. I'm afraid their future is not rosy, but I will come back next year to see how they are doing.

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.

Not sure how many, if any, springs I get to see but I'm really grateful for the one that is currently around me...giving me bits of hope and optimism.

welcome the new day

fling arms and hearts wide open

the hope of peace lives

Mother Nature gave us a brief taste of Spring recently, with bright sunshine, blue sky, and warm temperatures. It was a glorious day to get outside. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Best viewed large.

Turn on, people, optimism - After all, life, whatever one may say, is beautiful! And maybe not everything in it is clear, But still, this miracle is life!

I'm adding this high key abstract of a water lily on a day when optimism is needed. In Egypt and Asia, the water lily has often symbolized rebirth and optimism. We here in California are voting in the primary elections for the next President of the United States of America. It has been a long battle.

 

Our media has betrayed our trust and the election has been bought, but we are still fighting for the truthful candidate. I know through Facebook that many citizens of other countries are fighting along side of us to try to elect Bernie Sanders so you are probably aware of this battle that is waging in the United States.

 

My state is huge and will have a big influence on the election. Let's hope the honest and compassionate candidate wins. Here's to the rebirth of the American dream!!!! Taken in a lily pond in the biggest democracy in the world India!

 

that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so :-)

Quartier Chinois de Montréal / Montréal's Chinatown

 

La murale "May an Old Song Open a New World" produite par MU et réalisée par Bryan Beyung et Gene Pendon (deux artistes montréalais d’origine asiatique) vient célébrer la richesse de la culture chinoise et de son peuple, qui contribue grandement à la diversité culturelle montréalaise. Réalisée sur fond rouge (synonyme de prospérité, d’héroïsme, de courage et de bravoure dans la culture chinoise), l’œuvre est composée en avant-plan d’une chanteuse d’opéra chinoise ornée d’une fleur de lys jaune fleurissante. En arrière-plan, un cercle représente l’unité, alors que les masques latéraux font écho à l’optimisme et à la nostalgie qui caractérisent l’arrivée dans un nouveau pays.

The mural May an Old Song Open a New World, produced by MU and created by Bryan Beyung and Gene Pendon (two Montréal artists of Asian descent), celebrates the richness of Chinese culture and its people, who contribute greatly to Montréal's cultural diversity. Painted against a red background—a symbol of prosperity, heroism, courage, and bravery in Chinese culture—the artwork features a Chinese opera singer in the foreground, adorned with a blooming yellow lily. In the background, a circle represents unity, while the masks on either side echo the optimism and nostalgia that characterize arriving in a new country.

Always look on the bright side of life

Spring is well and truly underway, with all the optimism that brings of warmer days ahead, as GBRf Shed 66732 slowly trundles its load alongside the Sheffield & South Yorks Navigation at Kilnhurst.

 

The train is the 12.57 Doncaster Up Decoy - Mountsorell (6M23), presumably en route to collect a fresh load of ballast.

 

Not a lot going on with this one, but I quite like the relaxed pastoral feel to the scene.

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.

Hardy anglers braved rain showers and a biting southwesterly breeze on the pier at South Melbourne Beach this morning. No-one was catching any fish, but they were cheerfully geared up for the bleak conditions.

Quoi de plus NORMAND quje ceci ?

 

Hein ? Franchement...

“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….”
