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.

A Few Steps Beyond Disillusionment, Optimism and Realism Peer into the Timeless Face of Hope...
Quotes by Patricia Bechthold
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.
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!
In the Oatsmill world, a surprise is just another ingredient in our pantry of life. We mix it in with a dash of creativity and a spoonful of optimism. Happy Holidays from Coconut and me!
that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so :-)

We've had a brutal couple weeks of nasty winter weather and I've spent A LOT of time with my ice chopper and shovel in my driveway. I needed to see proof that Spring does and will arrive again. Trying to stay optimistic! 4 more months til I see this again...
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….”
― Christian D. Larson

...A ruined Pennine farm. Built from beautifully dressed stone, and carving some sort of living from what is very wild and marginal land. No services, no road access, and usually wild weather. That's optimism.
