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 :))
odc - in the future
Optimists are nostalgic about the future. ~Chicago Tribune.
Several miles of walking along this logging road finally brings us near the forest trailhead that leads to Twin Falls. A most welcome sight.

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.)
I visited the lake again today. The Pelican remains at the lake. From a distance I watched as it sort of rambled forward, slowly exercising its open wings. It never attempted to take off.
If you look at the photo, the injured wing is its right wing, shown on the left here. No obvious deformities. From my observations and from what others have told me, this bird has been in place for at least two weeks. Because there is no obvious 'break'...or anything else obvious to the eye...it may be a muscle, ligament or tendon injury. Any of those might heal. My subjective interpretation of what I saw today was the Pelican was 'testing' its wings, to see how they would work. The photo looks 'normal', but I have to say that when the wings are folded, the right wing significantly droops and drags along the ground.
Though rescue seems unlikely, for a number of reasons, perhaps there is hope that the injury will indeed heal itself. And the bird does not LOOK ragged, undernourished or lackadaisical. It looks normal, except for the dragging wing and the inability, apparently, to fly.
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

I am asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we “accentuate the positive.” I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort. ~ Gordon B. Hinkley
The New Year 2020 has rolled in, so let's hope it brings lots of good things. Happy New Year everyone

We were supposed to be painting the kitchen today, but, we both overslept ! Lol ! So instead I've been doodling and this is the result ... Influenced (I think) by the Pattern and Decoration Movement

It's April 3, we have a major snow storm predicted for today, and this display is in a local store. If this isn't optimism, I don't know what is!

Glaucous Gull (Larus hyperboreus) Having stolen the flat fish from a Cormorant in the harbour then had no idea what to do next
Willy Whackit dreamed of playing baseball in the majors. He knew if he hung out in the corn long enough, the scouts would come. Unfortunately, Willy had no idea what corn looked like and, so, hanging out in the bushes didn't make him famous. Willy did get discovered, arrested and now has a photo on the post office wall after he jumped bail.

France, Paris, the bridge “Pont des Arts” over the Seine, connecting the riverbanks of the Louvre side & the "Institut de France" on Quais Malaquais.
...the lady in a white dress on the right is not a ghost,
it is a newlywed couple to place a padlock on a bridge of
“hope, optimism, faith & illusion”
In late 2008, tourists started attaching "love locks" with their engraved first names on them to the railing on the side-grates of the bridge.
👉 …added note;
In 2015 it was estimated that far over a million locks, with an estimated weight of the "the romantic gestures love locks" to be about 700 kg per panel, weighing approximately 45 tons together on all panels of both sides, presenting a danger for the bridge & consequently also for the commuter crossing the bridge.
The Paris City Hall decided to put an end to it in September 2014, therefore the fences were permanently removed on June 2015 & first replaced by a temporary exhibition of street art works, then by glass panels from autumn 2015.
