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 :))
odc - in the future
Optimists are nostalgic about the future. ~Chicago Tribune.
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.

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.

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.”

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

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

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.
