"Optimism is not a feeling; it is an optical phenomenon. It is the act of positioning yourself so that the light has no choice but to pass through you and reveal the clarity within."

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!

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 :))

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.

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 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.
Excerpt from the plaque:
Since its creation in Lyon, France, in 1894, the Michelin Man, or Bibendum, the Michelin tire company mascot, has undergone several cosmetic changes to reflect the contemporary moment. Similarly, KAWS's CHUM figure, a nod to the cheery, rotend Michelin Man, has changed with the times.
In 1999, KAWS introduced CHUM to the world in two distinct poses: in an energized mid-run stance, and standing proud, hands on the hips. A "chum" is, by definition, a close friend or pal. In its early iterations, CHUM embodied good humour and optimism. In 2020, almost two decades after its debut, KAWS brought CHUM back in a decidedly un-celebratory mood. Here, it stands downcast, shoulders slumped, arms hanging dejectedly by its side. In What Party, CHUM reflects back to us the emotional discord of 2020, a year marred by a global health crisis and socio-economic upheaval.
“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.”

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
