Most of us are optimistic about having Barack Obama as our next President and we look forward with great Hope.
Barack knows that he is the beneficiary of the work of all those who came before. Many have sacrificed - and in some cases - suffered or died for the rights of others.
On this day, one day before the inauguration of Our 44th President, we celebrate a special birthday.
Thank you Martin.
from wiki:
" 'I Have A Dream' is the popular name given to the public speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., when he spoke of his desire for a future where blacks and whites among others would coexist harmoniously as equals. King's delivery of the speech on August 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement.
Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters, the speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and most notable speeches in history and was ranked the top American speech of the 20th century by a 1999 poll of scholars of public address.
According to U.S. Representative John Lewis, who also spoke that day as the President of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, 'Dr. King had the power, the ability and the capacity to transform those steps on the Lincoln Memorial into a modern day pulpit. By speaking the way he did, he educated, he inspired, he informed not just the people there, but people throughout America and unborn generations.'
Optimistically, the seeds of hope we sow will bear fruits, like this beautiful tree in our community.
There are lots of optimistic signs here at North Redwood, MN. First, it's finally warm and the snow is melting, so work on the railroad and (hopefully) in the fields can begin. Second, the old elevator here is being given a second shot at life as it has been purchased by a grower who is using the property to transload organic soybeans into covered hoppers, a few of which can be seen on the siding. Finally, the new ties are a sign of the ongoing investment being made in this line to slowly but surely bring it back. It has been left for dead several times in its history. Hopefully it continues to live on for a long time to come.
A Group of Four Optimistic Cactus Flowers In My Front Garden
These glorious cactus flowers in my front garden open at night and last for a single day. They are so optimistic that they will be fertilized quickly.

I am optimistic about actually doing this year's Life Book lessons. Last year got away from me, but thankfully, I've got all the lessons saved. Yay! This year, though, I am going to sit down once a week and actually do the lessons. This Fairy Art Mother is totally inspired by Tamara LaPorte. willowing.org

"That's Life"
Bif Naked
I like babytalking, popcorn without butter,
and anybody who will pay attention
to these requirements.
I'm an optimistic beauty. Never impolite.
Easy like Saturday, mid-day.
Breezy, chilled-out, dumb girl.
Thats life with me. I know.
Around and around you will go.
But, if I french kiss you
in the broad daylight,
you'll fall in love..oh,oh,oh.
That's life with me. I know.
Well I am pretending to be a free-bouncing lover.
I wear my defensive mask of optimism like a badge.
And ultimately. I am much to lazy to change.
I'm rather conditioned to my life of melodrama.
Thats life with me. I know.
Around and around you will go.
But, if I french kiss you
in the broad daylight,
you'll fall in love..oh,oh,oh.
That's life with me. I know.
That's life with me. Thats how it will be, my friend.
A roller coaster ride you won't forget.
I am just a mess. I am just a mess, at best.
I am just a blue-ribbon prize winner till the end.
Thats life with me. I know.
Around and around you will go.
But, if I french kiss you
in the broad daylight,
you'll fall in love..oh,oh,oh.
That's life with me. I know.
History & Meaning of Yellow Roses:
With their optimistic hue and general association with good cheer, yellow roses are the perfect way to toast friends, lift spirits and send a general wish for well-being. And that’s great news for those who love roses—the rose is known for its simple, architectural beauty, but some colors are so loaded with significance that they can be a bit tricky to work with. Sending a get-well bouquet of red roses to your administrative assistant might raise eyebrows around the office, for instance. Suffice it to say, you can never go wrong with yellow roses.
Long associated with the sun and its life-giving warmth, yellow is the age-old spokes-color for warm feelings of friendship and optimism. In many Eastern cultures, the color represents joy, wisdom and power. But while any yellow flower will send a lighthearted message, the history of the yellow rose in particuar has an optimistic, serendipitous character that really makes it the complete package.
By the 18th century the worldwide love of roses was in full swing, but they were only cultivated in shades of pink and white. At last, the elusive yellow rose was discovered growing wild in the Middle East, and the European love affair with yellow roses was born. The early yellow rose lacked the sweet scent for which the rose is famous, however, which was not to be tolerated. So, as cultivation methods were developed and refined, the beloved sweet-and-spicy rose scent was soon introduced and the yellow rose achieved all its optimistic and aromatic glory.

Despite the optimistic looking signal, this picture was taken in January 1968 when the railway was closed for the winter. You can see the excellent state of the track across the Cob, looking towards the Festiniog Railway's Harbour station at Portmadoc. This was the occasion of a weekend volunteering, but there was little for us to do after such a long journey. I remember sitting in a caravan talking to Normal Gurley, a well-known photographer, but not having much work to do. We had a nice prowl around Boston Lodge works. Then someone ran into my car on the way home. Not a happy trip. January 27 1968. Copyright John Evans - no unauthorised copying or use.

Part of the United Kingdom Set
Hey! here is a portrait(s) for a change. You might remember one of the girls from this other portrait. Still continuing shots from the London trip with the class. I can't remember the exact name of the place but its the church where they filmed the Hogwarts lunch room in Harry Potter. There was a gift shop and while a lot of the students bought stuff, most of them where wise and thought that a poster of a knight should not cost 35 pounds / 57 dollars.
Have a great monday!

...hard work in a heat that would make most of us collapse within a few hours. Still there is room for a pure and warm smile!

Optimistically headboarded Peckett 0-4-0ST no 2111 'Lytham St Anne's' heads the last Midland Railway Centre vintage train service of the weekend away from Butterley.
Life can push me down
Life can wrinkle my skin
Life can shadow the sun
Life can simply pass me by
That will never break my spirit
I will stay optimistic
That just how it is
Life is what I live for
Went out for an optimistic look for butterflies this afternoon - always a chance of some relatively docile ones resting up on a dull, windy day. Sum total for roughly 1.5 hours was a green-veined white, yes one. When I look back at last year in a months time I would have been at Collard Hill looking for an early Large Blue.
Did notice a greater variety of flowering plant emerging - Bugle, Germander Speedwell and others the identity of which I have no idea. Did see a Trefoil looking close to flowering on Walton Hill - maybe some Common Blues soon?
I have no idea what this little fella is however I liked him being completely immersed in this Buttercup. Looks good on black.
