An optimistic great grey heron fishing in the River Dodder in south Dublin.
There's a lot of Lightroom colour editing on this one. I changed the white balance to fluorescent and then used the circular mask tool to remove the blue from the heron and a second time to darken a bright white glare from one the rocks. Then a few more general tweaks on shadows and highlights.
Happy Slider Sunday!
... that there will be some more sunshine to display their beautiful colours!
HMBT !

“The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.”
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In a more optimistic version, after the Flood, the sun shines again and gives warm, golden hues to the water reflections and the background. But the clock is ticking, the wait has been long and nature has been far too forgiving. Remember, there is NO planet B.

What is Helmi waiting for? I am optimistic that she is waiting for me, her "mom". In addition to waiting for me, she also waits for dog candies in my pocket. She always receives them as a reward when she has behaved in the desired way. In this photo ( taken a year ago ) she’s waiting for her award because she kept sitting still while I took photos. She has evolved a lot in a year, nowadays as soon as she sees me stopping and taking out the camera, she is sitting next to me. She walks completely free, without a leash, as still in this photo. She has become a good girl. She has earned her candies.
What am I waiting for? I look forward to the sun, sparkling bright rays of the sun as in this photo. I haven’t seen them in a few weeks, every day it has been snowing... a lot. Hey if anyone wants some snow, I can post... 😁 Finland.

One from my dreamy morning on Latrigg!
North Bend, Washington
After an unprecedented series of atmospheric rivers brought record rainfall to the Pacific Northwest and washed away much of the mountain snowpack, winter has finally begun anew with a weekend snowstorm. So when the skies cleared on Sunday morning I was unable to resist the lure of fresh snow and headed up to the mountains for a hike.
As I arrived at the ice and slush covered trailhead, I was greeted by some rays of sunshine that made me optimistic about the potential for great views at the top of the hike. The trail itself is mostly forested, with a series of rock ledges in the top section providing the views. As I climbed through the forest, I could glimpse fog rolling in, with occasional sunshine filtering through the trees. And when I stepped out of the forest into the open area of the first ledge, it was entirely fogged in and the mountains were hidden from view.
The fog stayed with me as a moody companion while I hiked up to the next few ledges, but watching it drift and swirl around the mountains and through the valleys, occasionally illuminated by the sun, made for a wonderful atmosphere, especially in concert with the snow.
And then as I hiked down, I emerged from a forested section to an open area of trail to find blue sky and brilliant sunshine. The snow sparkled on the evergreen trees, and mountains that had been invisible on the hike up were now on full display; the entire scene had been completely transformed in less than an hour.
كلنا في هذه الحياة نعيش على أمل ما دامت الحياة سيبقى الأمل !!
أمل اللقاء
أمل تحقيق السعادة التي نطمح إليها
أمل رؤية من نحبُ سعداء
أمل العيش في حرية وكرامة
إنه الأمل الذي يبنض به كل قلب *

An optimistic Short-eared Owl on the prowl at dusk.
Conditions for this image were challenging. The setting sun was on the horizon and the barely visible subject about 250 feet away, flying at full speed.
Considered rare for this area and time of the year.
One of these days, or years, I am going to get to photograph this location in perfect conditions. Near Tibbermore in Perthshire, Scotland.
And crawl against the tide
Walk a hot coal, you don't get blisters
'Cause it's all inside your mind, blind eyes are only for tonight
There are no guarantees
Don't know what tomorrow brings
Though are promise is weed
Oh, we know what will be, will be
... the canal was half-empty at this point :-) for some unknown reason - although the goose in view looked to be having fun :-)
A sense of "almost" normalcy has arrived finally. Time to make up for lost time..speak your own mind...don't listen to negative people...be optimistic....make your own decisions. Ignore social media. Life is what you make it.

This optimistic American goldfinch male is starting to grow his golden spring plumage in even if the weather still looks and feels like winter here at Lake Meyer Park. The ground is pure white as I write this tonight.

The Christians tend to celebrate Easter-peopled-ness,
not in any proud or holier-than-thou manner,
but as an optimistic promise
resurrection-claiming
Holy Week unwinding
Lent minimizing
kind of way.
But, we are all an Easter people,
at least we Canadians
save those in Victoria or Point Pelee.
Everywhere else, in this often frigid place,
and some of those Scandinavian places too,
Siberia maybe, and Greenland (ha!),
we and they are Easter people.
We live the life of rebirth,
relife, rekindled in our frozen ground,
crocus, snowdrop, scilla,
poking through winter’s death
every early Spring.
[from "We are an Easter People" in I am Keats as you are by Glenn Peirson]

An optimistic Monday afternoon. The weather forecast looked promising for the clouds to break up just enough for a nice sunset. Unfortunately it wasn't too be. It did provide some interesting, muted copper and blues in the sky though.
This little Blue Tit looks happy that it is a sunny day but he is apprehensive about the long winter ahead. Living in the UK I know how he feels... never trust a Politician.
My dog, Emmy, really loves her daily walk :)

"Keep, keep on
Never say die
When in the midst of sorrow
You can' t see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring.
You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this can't never be done
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams.
Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic." - Sounds of Blackness ♫
Gi looks upward & onward while living her very best life ❤️
