Happy International Women's Day!

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!

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 :))

An optimist is someone who orders a dozen oysters in the hope of being able to pay for them with the pearl he finds inside.

Optimismus

Ein Optimist ist ein Mensch, der ein Dutzend Austern bestellt, in der Hoffnung, sie mit der Perle, die er darin findet, bezahlen zu können.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

Went into the city last night for happy hour, a photo shoot, and to visit Maggie at her coffee shop. While taking photos of the skyline, I looked around and saw this. I think the sky and silhouettes made an interesting shot.

 

Funny thing is the skyline shots are nothing special. I'll see if there is something interesting to salvage.

Give me the splendid silent sun

Sometimes optimism is being able to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a cheerful day, everyone... :)

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

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier

“The New Year is a painting not yet painted;

a path not yet stepped on;

a wing not yet taken off!

Things haven’t happened as yet!

Remember that you are blessed with the ability

to reshape your life!”

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

Even though the Corona Virus is causing a lot of doom and gloom, there is always optimism:

 

“If you're reading this...

Congratulations, you're alive.

If that's not something to smile about,

then I don't know what is.”

― Chad Sugg, Monsters Under Your Head

The New Year 2020 has rolled in, so let's hope it brings lots of good things. Happy New Year everyone
