The clouds may be dark and the landscape forbidding, but if there is a spark of hope to be found, it is within ourselves.
No Photoshop, I really take this thing with me on some of my desert journeys. The desert wildflowers in Death Valley are everywhere in April and May. Taken with a Pentax 645 medium format camera.

Vietnam - is one of the most positive countries. The original culture, special cuisine, traditions and customs, complicated history and beating the key vital energy and optimism, all this attracts many tourists.
Chrysanthemums symbolize optimism and joy. They're the November birth flower and the 13th wedding anniversary flower.
In Australia, chrysanthemums are the official flower for Mother’s Day due to their nickname “mums.”

No, Teddy Roosevelt's legendary cavalry unit from the Spanish-American did not have anything to do with the construction of the TP&W. But this photo does show why, from Canton westward to roughly Bushnell, the KJRY was limited to 10-15mph operating speeds. The jointed rail has not been kept up much since the days of the original TP&W (although the KJRY has been slowly upgrading the line over the years, as time and funds allowed). The slow speeds did make it easy to chase, though, and this would be the first of many multiple encounters between Canton and Cuba, the next town to the west. Here, the F's approach the first crossing west of Canton, Maple St. Immediately west of here, the shaded "forest" ends until the Spoon River Valley west of Smithfield.
I’ve taken this capture a while back. It brightens my day and inspires optimistic thoughts. Wish you a wonderful day.

I'm so thankful for all of your examples in finding those green lights in life! (even the bokeh kind!!) You are all so sweet and some of the nicest people in the world!

As in countless years past, a pair of Canada Geese begin work on their new nest at Hubbard Pond, near my home. Sadly, this may be the last year to witness this inspiring event.
On their home located in one of Ann Arbor's premier residential neighborhoods and without a Comprehensive Environmental Impact Report, public review/input, or apparent alternative site consideration, and in return for 185 VIP parking spaces on their Athletic Campus, the Regents of the University of Michigan are about to approve the relocation and the construction of a huge, high activity, high-traffic generating, smelly and noisy, brightly-lit 24/7, dusty, heavy industrial type facility.
Unfortunately, these handsome creatures have no effective way to argue their case. Even if they could get a hearing, parading their delightful goslings, plus indignant hissing, squawking and honking will never work. Instead, they need human help... your help.
To learn more about the proposed project and how you can give Mother Nature a human voice, you are invited to visit:

UPDATE: In a 12 March 2016 letter, the President of the University of Michigan indicates the proposed heavy industrial project for this site has been "paused". Plus, all applications for various construction permits are suspended and no construction contracts have been awarded.
While this turn of events appears positive, all it takes is will and a whim to re-activate the project. Until the final determination is STOP, the possibility of this easily preventable man-made disaster remains. Again, Mother Nature needs your voice. Now is the time to stand-up and sound-off !
UPDATE: 18 March 2016 - UM President apologizes...

Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. A "you can do it" when things are tough.

The leaves have fallen, but not the trees. They stand their ground firmly, refusing to surrender to the tides of time (Canon EOS 700D).

These Lilac buds are optimistic that warmer weather is just around the corner. After several days of blizzard like conditons we are all ready for some Spring time. Last night it got down to ten above zero. My first photo with the Nikon 105VR lens. In fact this is my first macro posted on Flickr. If it does not have wings, does not quack or honk or is a critter with four legs and teeth, I feel totally out of my element. Your support is deeply appreciated.
Another good one: “If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.”
Mollie is looking brighter and happier but still in the Paediatric Neurological ward at the LGI, in Leeds. The staff there have been wonderful, first saving her life and then nursing her back to health. We don't know the extent or results of our Granddaughter's injuries but are just glad she is still with us. This is another shot from my visit to Staithes for dawn on the day she was, later, rushed into hospital.
How fine it would be to have the optimism, strength and will of a weed.😎
As far as this pretty, flowering weed is concerned, there is just enough morning sun and dew to make a "garden plot" out of the bit of dirt in the crack where a wall abuts the asphalt sidewalk.
Location: A stretch of asphalt sidewalk abutting the wall of a building, near the village center, Riehen BS Switzerland.

Neiman-Marcus replaces the old City of Paris department store, a building that, thanks to its exquisite oval rotunda topped by a stained-glass dome, was as beloved a building as any in downtown San Francisco. Not surprisingly, San Franciscans were not pleased when Neiman-Marcus announced in 1974 that it had bought the old City of Paris building, which it intended to demolish for a brand-new department store; even Neiman-Marcus's agreement to preserve the rotunda within the framework of Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Burgee's new structure, a checkerboard box of reddish granite, did not mollify the opposition.
But the plan went ahead, and now that the building is done and the store is open, it is easy to see that the preservation-minded folk of this town knew wherefrom they spoke. For the Neiman-Marcus building, even with the gracious rotunda preserved, is one of this city's most conspicuous architectural mistakes. It is an awkward intrusion into San Francisco, a building that struggles to reflect a certain spirit and ends up, instead, capturing that spirit under glass and nearly suffocating it.
The City of Paris rotunda represents the vigor, optimism, and bold elegance with which San Francisco rebuilt itself following 1906. At least four generations of San Franciscans hold the sight of a sixty-foot Christmas tree under the gigantic lead glass dome as one of their best memories. The motto set in the uppermost glass panel of the rotunda remains the undeniable sentiment of San Francisco itself: Fluctuat nec mergitur . 146
