"If it were not for hopes, the heart would break." - Thomas Fuller

Another cold day in the city; started with flurries on my walk to the office, but luckily by the time I left to walk to my French class around 8 the flurries had ceased and it was just cold. I suppose I should just be happy that the sun was shining, but honestly I'm tired of faking optimism. Winter has gone on much too long and seriously, it needs to end!! I need Spring, and nature blooming outdoors, fresh grass and pretty colours.
I miss outdoor photography without freezing!
Okay; enough complaining, tomorrow is my Friday and it's a five day weekend coming up for me, so there's that!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

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.

i finally figured out why this seemingly-optimistic message bothered me.
it assumes i only have one eye.

Yellow is the colour of ambivalence and contradiction; the colour associated with optimism and amusement; but also with betrayal, duplicity.
But in China and other parts of Asia, yellow is a colour of virtue and nobility.
Although red and white are the most popular colours, the flowers come in pink, orange, yellow/green, salmon and petals with a different edge, colour and in both single and double forms.
The Hippeastrum Amaryllis 'Lemon-Lime' bulb introduction into the retail nursery market caused a sensational rush to the internet for every serious amaryllis lover.
This gorgeous amaryllis with its bright, glowing yellow colour, with a chartreuse throat and an improved substance separated this yellow flower from some of the early unsuccessful attempts to create a pure yellow amaryllis, but the form of those early hybrids was too variable with its trumpet shaped flowers.
The 'Lemon-Lime' amaryllis flowers are embedded with a fragrant perfume that few other amaryllis have.
A citrusy colour in a soft shade that hovers between light frosty yellow and pale green.
Wishing you well and stay safe!
Have a great day and thank you, M, (*_*)

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.

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.
