Let's pray it all gets sorted out! Despite everything I have confidence the human race will go on, and everything will be back in its box by January 1st!!!
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.
(cue ominous eye-gouging music.)
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.

"An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while a pessimist sees only the red stoplight. . . The truly wise person is colorblind."

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.
Its the only way in these troubled times. My favourite mug from the Stokes Croft China Company of Bristol.

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!
Before I took this photo, he told me : "My family and I travelled many miles to get here, But I just got a new job last month. So I feel that my journey is just beginning"
Yesterday, our lawn was covered in snow and frozen solid. Then, last night in a big wind-storm and heavy rains, the temperature shot up to thirteen-point-something (uhh, that's like 55 degrees F.). And these guys appeared. Too bad, because already, by mid-afternoon, the temperature is just above freezing and tonight it'll be minus seven (about twenty F).
It'll be a few more weeks yet before the snowdrops get their flowers pollinated.
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.

For Debbie...Cheer up!
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.

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.
