I'm optimistic that since I made it around the sun one more time and my health is still good I feel like there may just be another trip or two in store for this April Fool!!
Bright, optimistic and lovely illustration detail on a serving platter from the final year of the New York World's Fair of 1939-1940.
I was anything but optimistic that my little camera shy model could make friends with a dog harness and even then with a cam on his back. But to my surprise, the lady both accepted without any protest. So we can soon begin to shoot from the perspective of four-legged friends. - I´ll add links to future video results here.

Here are 1st results:
Under the salty muddy water
filled with despair,
clinching my teeth,
I hold my breath,
and survive like an ancient tree.
God himself whispers on my ears;
"I did not gave up on you,
so don't you give up on me."
I am half full of hope - the rest I release to the universe
Today's daily tidbit of inspiration is #Optimistic.
What am I optimistic about? …. Just about everything, I guess. Somehow, when I wasn't looking, I morphed from a sarcastic, critical, sardonic, judgmental pessimist who regularly beats herself up into … me. For the first time in my adult life I am comfortable in my own skin. I accept myself (with all my mistakes and flaws) and I accept others. I still hold the bar exceedingly high (and recognize all too well that there is lots of room for improvement), but I am positive and optimistic that goals are achievable. I am an optimist who believes people have the power to change their world. I believe in small kindnesses. I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. I believe in giving forgiveness to those who ask for it. I believe I (and everyone) can achieve anything we set our minds to. I believe the future is bright and beautiful and full of blessings and potential.
That doesn't mean I see the world as all peachy and rosy; it just means I try to focus more on the positive. I do not subject myself to TV news. I do not let me or my children get inundated with all the negativity that surrounds us 24/7. I think by focusing on the positive I am better able to maintain my optimism. I try to channel my optimism towards actions. When disasters strike, I channel my means towards helping, perhaps with donations of money or blood. When horrific, ugly, unspeakable things happen to innocents, I pray for those affected and I offer words of solace and protective arms to those closest to me. When people in my community are suffering I try to provide help by giving of my time or by providing food. I know that I am blessed. I have not suffered tragedy close to home (knock on wood). I think my awareness of how blessed I am helps fuel my optimism that I can affect change, however small. If I were to write a serenity prayer, it would go something like this:
Give me the wisdom to know when I can change things, the strength to make the changes within my power, and the ability to release to the universe that which I cannot.
Okay... that's enough deep thought rambling for today. I am optimistic that I will have toast and homemade marmalade for breakfast now. :)
finally we are getting a few fall like days
I do love weather in the seventies though, but watching fall foliage change around the ritzy streets of Charlotte is always a sight!
(this moleskin, dated sept was a little optimistic ;) )
I was optimistic of a reflection of the 67 on the rear of the 1W93. Too windy for the reflection, the morning run to Cardiff had run behind 67017 and that loco usually works the afternoon return - but not today !
The squirrels were abonus while waiting for traintime!
This design was my entry to Spoonflower Optimism Challenge with limited colour palette. Hope you like it :) x
An email ticked in that a sunstorm might create Auroea Borealis all the way down past Denmark. The weather was clear so I took my tripod and camera and spent a few hours optimistically looking at the horizon by Nivå beach and taking loads of long exposures. I figured I had struck out until some days later when I ran the pictures through Lightroom. The Northern lights were there, briefly, just not visible to the naked eye.
